Weekend updates<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apologies for the slackness with the updates – things have been a tad busy.<\/p>\n

We finally moved over the rest of urban75 to its shiny, super fast home at exonetric.com<\/a> and apart from a few expected minor teething problems things are settling in nicely. Phew!<\/p>\n

On Saturday, we went back to the excellent 12 Bar Club<\/a> in Soho to see a feast of top bands.<\/p>\n

The stage there is tiny, but it’s a friendly place and one of the very few intimate live gigs left in central London.<\/p>\n

\"dexter<\/p>\n

deXter Bentley<\/strong> were great. Despite their multi-instrumentalist ensemble being jammed into an impossibly small space, they served up an eccentric, quirky, funny and uplifting set.<\/p>\n

Lord knows how you’d describe their set – I guess a mix of 00s acoustic folk meets XTC meets the Kinks comes close. They describe themselves as a ‘no-fi neo-folk quintent’ if that helps…<\/p>\n

\"Schla<\/p>\n

Headlining the night were the the Schla La Las<\/a>, a five piece, all girl band with attitude.<\/p>\n

Resplendent in matching outfits, the four guitarists produced a fabulous wall of sound, with Delia Dansette keeping the beats fast and furious.<\/p>\n

Their upfront mix of 60s tunes mixed with punk sensibilities set the place alight and if “Are you ready” isn’t a dance floor rippin’ indie hit I’ll eat my HTML trousers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
