Valentines Special : Love Will Tear Us Apart

Laurel Collective and Montage Populaire – March 24th


 
Laurel Collective are an experimental pop outfit from London. Having signed with the Domino Records offshoot, Double Six, in their infancy, the band have since gone on to mesmerize audiences on both sides of the Atlantic with their bedazzling repertoire of off-kilter hits.
 
Montage Populaire are an experimental pop/electronic/indie band based in Southampton, UK. The band’s early self-produced demo ‘Mon Pop’ made no.67 in Artrocker’s records of 2009, they’ve toured France & Ireland, received continued airplay on NME radio, made the final 11 bands in the final of the Q Magazine/Glastonbury EMT competition, had two demos licensed by Dorothy Perkins for fashion campaign videos, and their ‘Reject Reinstall’, made no.3 on Gill Mills’ (NME) ‘Best Of Myspace’. Their live show is not be missed!

Popular presents Underground Railroad and Deaf Club – live on February 25th


 
Dark, intense, melodic, exploratory… Underground Railroad have gone around the world then found what’s most true to them back where they now call home. It’s an intriguing place – we suggest you have a listen. Tonight they’re joined by Deaf Club, who released the ace “Lull” EP last year for free download. Can’t wait to see them live!

Popular presents Look, Stranger! – January 28th


 
In their own words Look, Stranger! are London’s premier space-age bachelor pad band. Make of that what you will but know that they count publications like The Guardian and The Quietus as fans. In fact the Guardian went as far as to say they’re “the new Wild Beasts… Kasabian fans will hate it”. Perfect then.

After seeing off the boy dem with a fully loaded clip of NWA expect a night to remember with hip hop, breakbeat, rave, dubstep and drum & bass.
