FUN THINGS


ROCK BANDS My favorite bands
Mab
A gorgeous rock-metal girl band, with high melodies and heavy guitars. Beautiful and amazing.
Creel Commission
My second favorite band these days...Their music is just magnifique and very emotionnal. A very good band to see live. If you see them ask them if they have seen the Tequila...I'm still looking for it!
Susan Acid
A very scary heavy rock band. The singer is sensational, very good show. The music is melodic, dark, and heavy. Originally from Italy.
Esoterica
A good band, with interesting stage acting. Worth seeing! The singer likes to make the audience participate. Very taking!
Subt Lemon
An original rock band, focused and talented, with a superb guitarist. They gig around London, and are well worth seeing, but you may need to start jumping around for the crowd to follow...(their fans are too  'polite'  if you know what I mean) They have an album out, at last, produced by the unique Mickey Howard.
The Pistolas
A good rock band, with a good stage presence. The singer can be a bit rude (hide your kids) but the energy is fantastic. The songs very uptempo and catchy. Great female basse player.
Renegate Playboys
A very lively and animated band, which you cannot keep to one place. The singer just goes wildly on stage, gets off it and on again. Good make up, good hair. Very good hair, actually. Nice music.
Dresden Dolls
 

A strange band, from the US. I never saw them live yet but it should not be too long!

Their website is worth a look! Very odd! Their music sounds good .

A great gig place. I saw all my favorite bands here!
The Klinker
 

DALSTON

Sussex pub, 107A Culford Rd ,
London N1

This must be the maddest place in London, and by that I don't mean boring drink and drugs. This is experimental music, films, and very weird performers indeed. Hugh Metcalfe is the organiser, and he is quite mad too, easily recogniseable with his cabbage hat.
Great bands have played there, but also non musicians, scraping their guitar in rythm on the floor and into blow up aliens. Camping tolerated on Stage. Visit their homepage!
