Info on the appearing artistes:
- PLAN B: After appearing at The Basement's third anniversary special last year alongside Larrikin Love and Josh Pearson, Ben Drew - aka Plan B - returns for a low-key and special performance, warming up for his
weekend's appearances at the Carling Weekend: Reading/Leeds Festivals... Expect a special one, and make sure you fix yourselves up smart - this performance is being filmed as part of scenes to feature in his next video for new single, 'No More Eating'... His last London headline was a sell-out to 1,000... Come see him once again in a tiny club. It'll rule. http://www.time4planb.co.uk
- RUMBLE STRIPS: Freshly signed to Universal Records worldwide following two sold-out and special singles on our Transgressive Records, the brass-doting, anthem-writing boys return for their 2nd showing at The
Basement, again, as per the above, with a unique, pre-festival warm-up. Anticipate energy levels to be varying and some drooping eyes, as Tom (bassist/sax-player)'s stag do occurs the night before... Uh-oh! Still, doubt it'll affect this bastion of knock-out tunes. http://www.rumblestrips.co.uk
- JEREMY WARMSLEY: Changing his live-set more commonly than we've actually seen him wipe his specs, this year's dark horse outside contender for 'album of the year'-musterer Jeremy Warmsley joins the diverse fare to debut material from his long-anticipated LP, 'The Art Of Fiction'. Performing solo and with only laptop accompaniment, your guess is as good as ours as to what's to ensue. And that's part of the fun of it. One thing we can rely on, though? An extraordinary voice, and some very beautiful songwriting. http://www.jeremywarmsley.com
- And DJ-ing, alongside the rockfeedback regulars... GET CAPE, WEAR CAPE, FLY: Sam Duckworth, aka the moniker that precedes this blurb, is making a
rare decks sesh ahead of his... you guessed it!... live-sets at the festivals over the weekend. Listen to how he gets his vastly ranging influences (probably) as he spins over an hour of his choice club cuts.
It's going to be a hot one. RSVP ASAP, yes?
Cheers all, and see ya next week...
