KOKO UK

 
19.06.09

Get the tent out of the shed, unfurl with a loud swoosh in the front room, pick up one million tiny pieces of various festival fields of the U.K. Try and remember where the you left the sleeping bag and start to make a list in your mind Ray Mears, would be proud of. Think of a mate who might be playing that can get you in. Look up some train times, start to imagine the journey, shiver, do you even own a sleeping bag ? Walk around the flat proudly flicking a torch on and off. Print out the running order. Stare at the running order and wonder what kind of demented throwback would put these kind of mis matched bands together? Lose the torch, find one left wellie and a scrunched up running order from ten years ago in the corner of the tent. Stand in mild shock as the realization floods over you, that it's the same list of bands in a different order. Check the weather forecast, roll up the tent, put it back in the shed.

Get the KOKO newsletter, see that Guilty Pleasures is in the house Sat 27th, buy four tickets. Get a text from your drummer mate, telling you that they are now headlining and where the hell are you? Text him back form the middle of the Guilty Pleasures dance floor, aksing him if it's raining.

GUILTY PLEASURES

It's not all about Status Quo in the somerset rain, it's not all about jester hats and Tom Jones. Some folk will require the comfort of a deep shagpile beneath their Jimmy Choo's on Saturday night, because the original Guilty Pleasure will be joining the dressed to the max clientele for a gin fizz and some electric blues sky action, when the best club night ever invented returns to do what it does so very well on Sat 27th. This months theme is the stars of the silver screen, now where did I put that Eraserhead wig?

ROSIE ODDIE AND THE ODD SQUAD

If there was any real pop justice in the world, there would be a band like Rosie Oddie and The Odd Squad on every street corner of old London Town. But it's a cruel mad world and there is only one Rosie Oddie and The Odd Squad.

CRAZY P + TOM MIDDLETON

Soundcrash has been like a fine wine maturing to perfection over the last few months. This one has appeared like a vintage bottle of joy, set to remind why we always welcomed the addition Crazy P, to the surroundings providing tunes played by a band, that everyone dances to at the same time. Tom Middleton provides the balance of managing to make two records sound like a fine disco indeed.
