SOCIALIST R'N'B FOR THE MASSES!!
Friday 16th September
A night of Brixton revolution with well oiled comrades
This is going to be an incredible double bill with the full-on revolutionary socialist R&B of the legendary politicos THEE FACTION, with gastro-pub rockers THE LONE SHARKS in support. We'll also have the usual gang of fab DJs, plus original videos, street photo slideshows and more.
"Actual full-on revolutionary socialist R&B – imagine Dr Feelgood with a brainful of Gramsci or The Redskins with a sense of humour... Thee Faction launch a critique of societal hegemony on the back of a BIG grimy blues’n’b twang. Excellent."
Andrew Harrison, The Word Magazine
"..barricade storming, smart, fun, instantly energising" Daily Mirror
"Terrific stuff. Well done!" Danny Baker, broadcasting legend
"...bringing down the Tories one song at a time" The Guardian
Based in the twin cities of Bath & Bristol, The Lone Sharks are mixing punk attitude and garage rock energy topping them with pop melodies and serving up a new rock masterplan for the 21st century.
MULTIMEDIA
Original photos, old footage, pop 45 sleeves, and more.
DJS!
We'll also have a full crew of hard-drinking Offline regulars throwing down a top selection of tunes, including:
EDITOR (urban75)
An ale-fuelled onslaught of ska, punk, rock'n'roll, big band, rockabilly, Mrs Mills & Liberace in a floor stomping package.
NIPSLA (Falling over studios)
Packing more pop than a Rice Krispies factory, Nipsla's DJ bag is a veritable jumble sale of joy, overflowing with indie, dance, electro and party tunes.
BARON BOBBY BAUHAUS (charcoal soul)
More mysterious than Robert Smith's eyeliner bag, Bobby gets dancefloors rocking with quirky, darkside indie-pop and kohl-smudging breakbeats.
