Stop the mother-f*ckin presses, we have a gig.
For those of you that don't know, I've been trying to put on my own nights at work since the day I started, its part of my job, something I've never done too seriously but always dreamed of. However, as I'm sure you've noticed, I've never actually got around to it.
So, Club Shuffle was created. An in-house clubnight to promote our own gigs. We got a date. 12th May.
And now, we have a band.
It is my pleasure to announce that Cherbourg will be headlining the first ever Club Shuffle at 229 on Tuesday 12th May and I expect every single one of you that read this to come.
Cherbourg are signed to London based label Chess Club, home to Peggy Sue, Alessi's Ark and Mumford & Sons, a label that have really come into their own with the explosion of the london folk scene that has taken place in the last year. I was recommended their fine EP by the smart people at Banquet Records as I bought the new Mumford & Sons EP and it is every bit as good as their labelmates.
Harmonies are the key to a fantastic folk song for me and Cherbourg's are thick and expansive. Their rhythms are superb and understated, their EP perfectly balanced with anthems and sliughtly more experimental songs.
Be prepared to read a lot of plugging for this show but why don't you please just come if possible. It won't be expensive, it will give you the chance to see one of the big tips for 2009 and it's gonna be AWESOME. I'll announce support as soon as I book one.
In the meantime, learn to love these songs
