Map and venue info

It's a special party night at the Albert with two great live acts, a host of DJs and a special birthday celebration for the hip-shaking Ms Kitschenette from 60s dance troupe, The Actionettes.

TWO GREAT LIVE ACTS!

MARK HIBBETT
With his 'Do The Indie Kid' single gaining rave reviews and BBC airplay and a headline slot at the Indietracks booked for the summer, we're honoured to welcome Mark to the Albert.
"When it comes to observational pop music few do it better than MJ Hibbett & The Validators" Steve Lamacq, Radio One
"MJ Hibbett should be a British institution...unaffected, unpretentious, funny and stupidly entertaining" Word magazine
"one of 2006's most worthwhile albums" Artrocker
"The Wedding Present meets Half Man Half Biscuit ...wonderful and infectious ...a joyful noise" Amazon

THE BOYCOTT COCA-COLA EXPERIENCE
Drier than last week's ciabatta with a devilishly witty set, TBCCE will draw you in and take you strange places. We love them.
"Caustic, funny, surreal and mundane....one of the best singer-songwriters around today" Resonance FM
"Mark E Smith meets Jake Thackray... witty and warm songs via mesmerising Mississippi-via-Peckham guitar licks."
"This guy's a genius." THE GUARDIAN

SPECIAL GUEST: HELEN McCOOKERYBOOK
Now a rising solo artist with a second album release in the wings, Helen once led the famous Brighton punks The Chefs and recorded with John Peel favourites, Helen and the Horns.
Last year, Helen also authored the critically acclaimed The Lost Women of Rock Music' - "Classic punk rage at how girl punk musicians have been ignored and written out of history" BBC America
"Delicate and achingly beautiful songs" Rough Trade

PLUS VIDEO SCREENINGS & PHOTO GALLERY:
Videos, festival footage, New York street photography slideshow and more.

PLUS AN ACCUMULATION OF TOP DJS!
Bringing glamour to the decks will be a bevy of Actionettes platter-spinners, including DJ Velvelett and DJ Novelette, backed by the scruffy Offline selectors, Editor, Maggot and Blagsta.

Expect a non stop party mix of Motown classics, soul, big band, punk, indie and ska.
