By: Thomas Hannan
UPDATE: WIN VIP TICETS!
We were thinking, there are five days to go, and we've not bought any of you a Christmas present yet. So how's this - we'll put up for grabs two VIP tickets, one for you and one for a mate of yours, to come out to celebrate New Years Eve with us at the party detailed below. The prize consists of VIP wristbands for each of you, guaranteeing you free entry to the venue, access to the VIP area, the possibility of hanging out with the star acts and DJs and FREE DRINKS all night long. To win, answer us this question:
What was the name of the Kooks' debut album, released this year?
Enter HERE, and we'll see you down the front. Merry Christmas!
THE LOW DOWN:
Ladies and Gentlemen, you're invited to The Truman Show, a Rockfeedback / Clash Magazine / Adventures Close to Home co-hosted New Years Eve extravaganza to be hosted to welcome in 2007 from 7.30pm - 3.30am at the Atlantis Gallery in the Truman Brewery in London's Brick Lane, E1. It's a knees-up, warehouse party vibe with live performances from some stellar acts and the finest DJ talent available.
What's the venue like? An old brewery, now a whitewashed warehouse studio kitted out with fully licensed bars, projections, a live stage, two mezzanine VIP areas and viewing platforms, a fancy dress shop, a shots bar and access to laughing gas amongst other attractions. There'll also be barn dance sessions, an appearance from the UK's One Man Band competition champion and a Whig-Wham competition whereby the most ridiculous eighties wig wins a plentiful amount of champagne. And that's just the start of the two rooms of celebratory fun.
First up, the Main Room will see four live bands playing some New Year's party surprises to the thousand revelers, with Clash Magazine and our own boys at Transgressive Records DJs spinning party beats in between. We start with the infectious electro indie punk of Hadouken, following them with one of the most talked about acts from this summer, siblings Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, who despite only being 13, 17 and 15 respectively are no strangers to a live setting having rocked the main stage at Bestival this year. It'll be a riotous hillbilly hoe-down! And as for the mystery headliner? They've sold well over a million albums this year, can't do a thing wrong, and are playing here exclusively for us. Just before midnight the band will hand over the reigns for the infamous full-on party DJ sets from Sunday Best / Bestival and Radio 1 legend Rob Da Bank and the Filthy Dukes, complete with plastic blow up instruments.
The Second Room is the 200-capacity car park style basement, hosted by Adventures Close To Home. Here, things get a little darker, with the likes of Tom 'The Jedi' Middleton spinning edgy, dirty, downright clammy electro beats all night long, ably assisted by Luke Carr from legendary Liverpool night Chibuku Shake Shake, Casper C of Bloggers Delight and Fluokids and Socket's Fake Sam.
Furtherbloodymore, we're asking every single guest to bring at least one item of fancy dress or a prop with them. What that ends up being is entirely up to you - a moustache, a mask, a cape, fake teeth, some meatloaf, a stuffed rhino... it's your call. Rockfeedback might reprise the role of Gene Simmons it took so fondly to last year. Pictures to follow if you're lucky.
A couple of things to note, y'all. Yes, there will be a cloakroom, and yes, there will be bars. However, they'll only take cash, not cards, so if you're wanting to spend your New Years Pence on liquids you'll need to have it in your pockets before you come in to the venue. We suggest getting there early and getting involved, as the first band will be on at 8pm sharp. As an incentive, the first hundred of you to arrive will get a drink on us.
A limited amount of cheaper early bird tickets are available now for £37.50 from http://www.clubtickets.com, or by ringing 0870 2462050.
There ain't no party like a Rockfeedback party.
