THANKS GUYS

It’s been a great year for SOURCE and we want to take a bit of space to say thank you. Firstly we really appreciate the 60,000 of you that take the time to read what we do every month, or just look at the pictures. Without you guys there wouldn’t be any point in making the magazine.

Also we need to thank the advertisers.

Yeah, whatever, you might think, but it’s thanks to them that we can give the SOURCE out for free even though each copy costs about a quid to make. So go and spend the £11 you saved this year with them. The other group of people that deserve a pat on the back is the Talent Pool of SOURCE contributors who use their expert knowledge and clever wordplay to recommend stuff for you to do all month. We owe you guys, especially now the mag is so much bigger.

Anyway, now the gushing is out of the way, to business. It’s New Year’s Eve soon and we want to make sure you don’t get stressed about it. It’s only a night out and there’s such a range of options at different costs, it doesn’t have to be a big deal. We remember when going to a club cost the equivalent of over £50 (thanks Cream) – now you really didn’t want to not enjoy that.

CRAFTMAS DAY

Well, we said we were going to give out a thousand quid, and that’s what we did. Admittedly it wasn’t our money – it was courtesy of the Create In Brighton guys from Drink In Brighton and Tiger Beer – but our editor and Street Style photographer chose from the many, many entries on Instagram to award Simon Brice the top prize (see above). He’s gonna use the money to have his broken camera fixed. So, a feelgood ending even if you didn’t win. If you’re a charitable person, that is.

Brighton Craftaganza returns to Fabrica art gallery for a Christmas shopping special on Sat 8th and Sun 9th December. The regular market showcases the wares of dozens of local designers, including artwork, homeware, jewellery, clothing and toys. Admission is free.

Craftaganza and Miniclick Photography are also putting on a joint, free Christmas party at The Old Market on Weds 19th Dec, with live music from Swede Michaels, creator of festive internet hit ‘The Christmas Sandwich’.

DUKE’S II: THE SEQUEL

We’ve been poking around Brighton’s newest cinema, Duke’s At Komedia, and we can reveal that it’s lovely. Comfortable seats with two large screens that make you really feel you’re at the movies, A strong programme begins with Seven Psychopaths, Martin McDonagh’s eagerly anticipated, starstudded follow up to hitmen-out-of-water swearfest In Bruges. A more eclectic line-up is promised for the two screens, so expect old favourites and themed events alongside the best in indie cinema from around the globe. It opens on Fri 7th December.

ELECTRIC ENGINEER

Record producer Dan Swift, whose credits include major releases by Snow Patrol, Kasabian and Art Brut, has taken up residence as Head Engineer at Brighton Electric studios. Dan has worked with numerous Brighton bands over the years, including British Sea Power, Help She Can’t Swim and The Mojo Fins, and is currently producing the new record by analogue duo Soccer 96. For more information about the Lewes Road studios, visit brightonelectric.co.uk

BEST OF BRIGHTON

Audio, Maxxi Soundsystem and Wolf Music are all representing Brighton in the nominations for this year’s DJ Magazine Best Of British awards. Audio’s up for the Best Small Club award, with Sam Watts’ Maxxi Soundsystem getting shortlisted for Breakthrough Producer. His mix of Parallel Dance Ensemble’s ‘Shopping Cart’ is up for Best Remix, with his friends at Wolf Music Recordings vying for Best Record Label. The awards party takes place at London Bridge’s Cable club on 19th December.

BACK IN THE MEADOW

Next year’s Meadowlands Festival has been confirmed for 24th-26th May, back at Glynde Place near Lewes. Meadowlands mixes live music, DJs, comedy and spoken word performances with family friendly activities, including kids’ games, storytelling and workshops and raves for the teens. Last summer’s event featured Lamb, LTJ Bukem and Speech Debelle; there’s no word on next year’s headliners just yet, but for early bird weekend tickets head to their revamped website, meadowlandsfestival.com.

ROCKIN’ ROOMS

Hotel Pelirocco, Regency Square’s original rock’n’roll hostelry, has opened a new rockabilly themed addition to its collection of boutique rooms. Laurie Hilton-Ash’s Peliroccobilly Room comes with a custom made double bed, vintage hot rod and music memorabilia and hand carved wooden Tiki sculptures from Brighton’s Trader Tark. A jukebox stuffed with 7”s and a radio playing nothing but rockabilly complete the 50s feel. It’s enough to make us not want to go home.

ROUNDER NIGHT

One of Brighton’s biggest losses in 2012 was the closure of Rounder Records at the end of July, after 46 years of trading.

Gone, but not forgotten, The West Hill will be keeping the name alive with a Rounder night on Saturdays. If you ever shopped at Rounder and never got the chance to thank the guys, head up to the pub on Buckingham Place and buy them a drink. And while you’re doing that give Steve Sexton your requests.

VINTAGE SCOOPS

Do you like ice cream? 50s glamour? Bedford vans? Ice cream enthusiasts Vintage Scoops are now driving around Brighton with their retro-fitted van, Betty, serving up treats from East Street’s dessert specialists Scoop & Crumb. While Betty herself is decked out in nostalgic tea shop bunting, mother and daughter team Victoria and Jo greet customers in full vintage fashions. Start your mouth watering by visiting vintagescoops.co.uk or just listen for those chimes.

ELECTRO BLUES

Music’s newest niche sees classic blues recontextualised in an electro/breakbeat style, and while electro swing was rather short-lived, electro blues already appears to have more credibility than its irritating counterpart. On the second Friday of every month, the Green Door Store’s Electro Blues night brings big bouncing basslines, blues, booze and breaks.

Brilliant. Cracking visuals that show pieces of blues history, a different live band each month, a chicken wire fence surrounding the stage and free entry make this a night worth checking out.

IYDEA

Consistently voted the best café in Brighton while still being as right-on ethical and green as you can get, award-winning vegetarian café Iydea is reaching out across the Brighton/Hove border. Opening in the new year on the site of Trattoria Pascal

PAGE 6

VINTAGE SCOOPS

on Western Road, this second branch of Iydea will have a different style of service with above-counter menus to pick from and tapas-style offerings in the evenings. We’re hoping this faster food style still stays true to its roots of chatty service, great food and a Bakewell hot chocolate to die for.

THE OAT HUT

Usually found at sport events and festivals, the Oat Hut has set the bleary minds of Brighton commuters in its sights. On weekday and Saturday mornings, the Hut is parked outside Brighton station and serves up takeaway pots of freshly made organic porridge with a range of toppings, perfect fodder to get your brain in gear during that long commute or to keep you going through a long day of coffee shop lounging.

CAFÉ COHO

Opening a second branch in the currently down at heel Queen’s Road could have been a risky venture for this awardwinning local company but an elegant exterior revamp and a welcoming brick and wood feel to the inside has kept Café Coho’s new outlet busy. With sandwiches that are a cut above the average (chorizo, poached egg, guacamole & organic pea shoots on sourdough anyone?) and an evening tapas menu, the café’s window seats offer a prime spot for peoplewatching.

ADRIFT

For many Brightonians, vintage finds are highly desirable, but the thought of trawling through specialist stores and charity shops, especially in this grim weather, is not exactly appealing.

But behold, you can now access sought after vintage wear online, without leaving the house. The people at Brighton based Adrift (adriftstore.co.uk) do all of the hard work for you, handpicking quality pieces from the 50s to the more questionable trends of the 90s and all for reasonable, student friendly prices. You catch the drift.

JOWE HEAD & ATTILA THE STOCKBROKER Caroline Of Brunswick Sat 1st Dec

Dreading Christmas? Love punk rock? Here’s an early present in the form of a 1977 original and your favourite local stick-it-tothe-man poet legend. Jowe Head started off in influential Brummie DIY experimentalists Swell Maps, whose short, scratchy songs encapsulated the punk sound while reaching far beyond its self-enforced limits, before a 10 year stint in the equally influential Television Personalities. Now exploring a darker sound, he follows Sussex’s poet-laureate Attila The Stockbroker, who will no doubt be righting wrongs through the medium of witty folk songs. (SC)

SIMIAN GHOST

Since Simian Ghost released their debut album ‘Infinite Traffic Everywhere’ in 2010, they’ve been stacking up accolades from all over Europe. The three piece are the first Scandinavian band to have a lead review in The Times since ABBA and won high praise at The Great Escape back in May. Gloriously light and sweetly twee, Simian Ghost are the kind of pop group that we wish the UK could produce. As it is, thank you for the music, Sweden. (JMM)

THE OTHER TRIBE Green Door Store Tues 4th Dec

SOURCE TICKETS

Bristol’s The Other Tribe are set to ignite 2013. With upbeat songs about “summertime” and “girl’s skirts”, this neon dance collective seemed pitched next to Calvin Harris, but they’ve also earned comparisons with the euphoric energy of the Klaxons and the dance/pop hybrid of We Have Band. They’ve signed to Sony sub-label, Relentless Records, and have been fully backed

by Radio One DJs, Annie Mac and Pete Tong, but it is their growing live reputation which will excitingly see them attack the stage like an ancient Ibizan clan. (TR)

THE NORTH SEA SCROLLS Komedia Weds 5th Dec

SOURCE TICKETS

Brighton resident Luke Haines has a wealth of music projects behind him, having helmed The Auteurs, Baader Meinhof and Black Box Recorder alongside solo albums and a couple of acclaimed autobiographies. For this latest project he’s teamed up with the equally storied Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney, Fatima Mansions) and journalist Andrew Mueller. Described as an academic lecture on the secret history of Britain, it’s difficult to know what to expect from this night. Scathing wit and fantastic songwriting are pretty much a given, though. (AP)

STEALING SHEEP Green Door Store Weds 5th Dec

Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar Mon 3rd Dec

THE OTHER TRIBE

SOURCE TICKETS

Supporting Mercury Prize winners Alt-J on tour is always going to help lift a band’s profile. However, that run was only a warm up for the 30-date European-wide headline tour that Stealing Sheep set out on immediately afterwards, arriving in Brighton at the centre of their continental jaunt. This Liverpudlian female trio make the kind of stunning but twee, harmonious folk pop that’s crying out to be played acoustically on the centre of Jools Holland’s floor. The Green Door Store’s floor will do perfectly well for now though. (TR)

THE FLESHTONES Prince Albert Thurs 6th Dec

Still featuring their original two frontmen, with a long-term bass player and drummer completing the line-up, Queensbred 70s garage rockers The Fleshtones are ready to rip up The Albert for this Stay Sick night, in support of last year’s ‘Brooklyn Sound Solution’ album. Fuzz pedals and tremolo arms still feature heavily behind wailing vocals and it’s guaranteed to be a sweat pit. A super-strength supporting bill features glam punkers The DeRellas and South London’s scuzzy, surfabilly hoedown merchants The Witchdoktors. (SC)

SÉBASTIEN TELLIER

SÉBASTIEN TELLIER

MARTHA WAINWRIGHT

In town to promote his most recent – and excellent – ‘My God Is Blue’ collection, Tellier saunters, heavily bearded and quite possibly darkly shaded, towards Coalition’s stage tonight.

After representing his native France at Eurovision in 2008 and with bursts of soundtrack work under his belt, the singer returns to offer his own take on pop; knowing, stylish and extremely suggestive. A showman, in the truest, most 1970s sense of the word. (JKY)

With brother Rufus playing last month and dad Loudon due next year, the Wainwright family are old friends of Brighton.

Martha dazzled the Dome a couple of years ago with her refreshing take on the Piaf songbook so she should shine in the glorious surroundings of St George’s. She’s naked on the cover of her first album in four years ‘Come Home To Mama’, which is how she presents herself onstage: unpretentious, honest and unafraid to explore new challenges. (SC)

Coalition Thurs 6th Dec

RIZZLE KICKS

Brighton Centre Thurs 6th - Fri 7th Dec

Back when Rizzle Kicks were youngsters, the idea of performing at arenas was probably nothing more than a childish fantasy equated with their dreams of being firemen.

When the Brighton boys met at BRIT school, their wish soon became a reality. They’ve already stepped onto the stage of the Brighton Centre as Olly Murs’ special guests and now it’s their chance to host two shows of their own. Just try not to start any fires, they haven’t realised that other ambition yet. (AJM)

JOE DRISCOLL

SOURCE TICKETS

Blind Tiger Fri 7th Dec

Beat-boxing has a bit of a reputation as a favourite of smug rappers who expect applause after every throat fart, but this is beat-boxing like you’ve never heard it. Effortlessly merged into catchy songs in a way that’s unpretentious and natural, Joe Driscoll’s beat-boxing is truly original. His sound crosses the borders of folk, soul and hip-hop, and in his decade of performing live, he’s been consistently admired for looping his vocals and multiple instruments simultaneously. (JMM)

St. George’s Church Fri 7th Dec

PEACE

Green Door Store Fri 7th Dec (Late Show)

This quartet spearheaded a recent flush of new bands from the Midlands, sending plenty of A&R up the M40, ending with the band signing for Columbia Records. Their music has matured from the post-Foals math rock that the early-adopters picked up on, into more of a contemporary, hazy, tropical pop sound.

The buzz saw Zane Lowe give ‘Bloodshake’ his ‘Hottest Record In The World’ award, and following hundreds of gigs in 2012 they finish yet another UK run at the Green Door Store.

What a year. (TR)

MOLOTOV JUKEBOX Komedia Tues 11th Dec

SOURCE TICKETS

Providing a circus feel to the Hanging Gardens event earlier this year, six-piece festival band Molotov Jukebox have created their own brand of music known as ‘funky gyp-step’.

Their star is certainly ascending, with a recent video for the Alice By Temperley fashion collection, and they return to Brighton after a whirlwind tour of Brazil. Their style combines gypsy, samba, ska and swing so expect cabaret entertainment and some stomping trumpet and accordion heavy tunes. (SBB)

NEGATIVE PEGASUS

PATRICK WOLF

NEGATIVE PEGASUS

St Mary’s is fast becoming the music venue of choice for the discerning indie fan, and who better to croon into its hallowed spire than the patron saint of ukuleles, Patrick Wolf. Fresh from his experimental electro in bondage gear phase, Wolf returns to his roots with a stripped-down acoustic set that should raise hairs on even the most well-pruned of necks. Wolf will promote his tenth anniversary release, ‘Sundark And Riverlight’, with a healthy spattering of his greatest hits. (NJF)

If the last instalment of Brighton Noise’s showcase events is anything to judge by, it’ll be worth getting to this show very early to secure a good spot – it was rammed. This time there’s another stellar line-up of local talent, united by a love of raw organic sound: Negative Pegasus, Bitches, TRAAMS and Keel Her. Negative Pegasus’ relentless take on psychedelia has won them a legion of local admirers and Keel Her’s deliberately distorted lo-fi riot vocals make her sound unique and mesmerising. It’s a free show, with the odd Christmas song promised too. (JMM)

MELTING VINYL CHRISTMAS PARTY Green Door Store Weds 12th Dec

Melting Vinyl have a knack of finding the best new bands and they’ve certainly got it right with this line up of Coves and Peppermint Beat Band. Chill-out two-piece Coves are attracting acclaim for their retro-tinged indie, led by jangling guitars and drowsy vocals. Brighton’s own Peppermint Beat Band combine heartfelt folk and grassroots rock sounds with psychedelic rhythms, sprinkled with more instrumental cameos than most bands can dream of. More acts are to be announced for this unmissable party. (JMM)

MR B THE GENTLEMAN RHYMER

Prince Albert Thurs 13th Dec

The bitter chap hop feud of 2010 seems to have been forgotten in recent months with rival Professor Elemental even making a guest appearance in Mr B’s latest video ‘Just Like A Chap’. At the outset it was perhaps difficult to see much longevity in the one-note joke of urbane English pseudo-rap, but a fourth Mr B album and continued praise from the music blogs suggests there’s life left in this genre. One suspects an Elemental and Mr B duet can’t be far off. (AP)

CERYS MATTHEWS Old Market Sat 15th Dec

Since the demise of Catatonia, the voice of Cerys Matthews is more often heard presenting radio shows than singing on them. December is an exception, however, thanks to a certain duet with Tom Jones, their hit take on ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’. Despite her successful radio career, Matthews’ love of performing is still intact, and she’s heading out on the road for this intimate ‘Cerys By Candlelight’ evening of Christmas music, poetry and singalongs for all the family.

BIRDS IN ROW

Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar Mon 17th Dec

Birds In Row come back to Sticky Mike’s after last year’s excellent performance when they supported Punch and Loma Prieta. Their set left the crowd in awe and the French three-piece showed that they can make plenty of noise whilst still being profound and heartfelt. Their sombre take on hardcore punk is raw and powerful and has seen them release their debut full length through big players Deathwish Inc. Support comes from Merseyside screamo outfit We Came Out Like Tigers. (CB)

SLOW CLUB Haunt Tues 18th Dec

THE XX

SOURCE TICKETS

Sheffield duo Slow Club are famed for their Christmas tours, where Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor’s chemistry shines through in their easily recognisable covers, and the late addition of this Brighton show has had fans clamouring for tickets. Their alt-folk sound captures your attention by taking traditional, melancholic Christmas themes and adding a percussive upbeat quirk with their own seasonal swing. You can expect to hear songs from the pair’s ‘Christmas, Thanks For Nothing’ EP, and their most recent album ‘Paradise’. (MS)

Legendary soul singer Martha Reeves returns to Brighton, ably backed by her Vandella sisters Lois and Delphine and their ninepiece band, to bring some festive cheer to the city at this Christmas spectacular. Belting out classics like ‘Nowhere to Run’, ‘(Love Is Like A) Heatwave’ and ‘Dancing in the Street’, expect some wild funky chicken moves from the audience and a lot of singalongs. (SBB)

Concorde 2 Fri 21st Dec

These guys are Europe’s premier Johnny Cash tribute act.

So much so, 20th Century Fox chose them to perform at the British launch of Cash biopic Walk The Line. No surprise then that Concorde 2 snatched them up for a pre-Christmas gathering; celebrating a hugely successful career, Man In Black classics will drop left, right and centre as the band salute the legacy of one of country music’s biggest names.

God-fearing Cash penned a few Christmas songs in his time, so tonight’s show could be a cockle-warming early present. (GH)

The last SOURCE New Music before Christmas (don’t fret, it’s back in the new year) welcomes those slightly scary Clowns to the stage. With roots in a who’s who of Brighton bands past and present (The Poppycocks, Restlesslist, Imitation Electric Piano), Clowns are currently preparing a debut album of their twisted psycho-garage for local label Bleeding Heart. They’re supported

Brighton Centre Thurs 20th Dec

In a rare second bite of the cherry, The xx have switched their already big Brighton Dome show (which sold out in something ridiculous like 10 minutes) to the even more expansive Brighton Centre. Although extra tickets are on sale, those original Dome ones need exchanging. The xx can fill the room with people, but as big as their tunes are, can they generate the same intimate atmosphere that the Dome would have enjoyed? We love both their albums, so it’ll be exciting to watch them step up and prove themselves as an arena band tonight. (MB)

Led by the achingly clear vocals of Elena Tonra and supported by the stripped back instrumentals of Igor Haefeli and Remi Aguilella, Daughter are game-changingly good. The release of second EP ‘Wild Youth’ in April cemented their reputation as one of the most promising female-fronted folk bands around, and their melancholy, wistful tones are defied by dark, often vengeful lyrics. The great thing about seeing a band that’s only released two EPs is that they are guaranteed to play all your favourites. (JMM)

At the time of going to press, the most exciting thing happening in Brighton on 2013’s ‘Blue Monday’ – reckoned to be the gloomiest date on the calendar, when the happiness from Christmas has faded and its debts start to loom – is a live show from Donny and Marie.

KINS OUR FAVE NEW BRIGHTON MUSIC IS BEING MADE BY AUSTRALIANS WORDS BY JAMES KENDALL PHOTO BY KENNY MC CRACKEN AT CREATE STUDIOS ASSISTED BY RHIANNON ADAMS, DARYL CAMPBELL

We’re so spoiled for music in Brighton. What other small city can count artists as diverse as The Maccabees, Rizzle Kicks and Bat For Lashes all making their names here? But now we’re not just creating great bands, we’re importing them too. Kins are from Brighton, but Brighton the town just outside of Melbourne. And now they’re here and we couldn’t be happier about it. Because Kins are really good – really, really good.

We’re basing our new love on, well, what little we’ve been able to hear of them so far. Their sole Soundcloud offering is ‘Break Ties’ which, even in the demo form it’s showcased in, is a masterpiece. With something of the sparse late night atmospheric guitars of The xx, it sounds full of yearning, just shy of its heart exploding.

Otherwise we can turn to their excellent seven-track minialbum ‘Dancing Back And Forth, Covered In Whipped Cream’, which has much of the same delicate emotion and pretty, gentle melancholic melodies but comes from the old line-up (more of which in a moment).

So the best clue of what to expect comes from seeing Kins live, where they push much more power, much more attack into the music, while maintaining the complexities of their recordings to date.

PAGE 18

“Most of the aggression comes from religious oppression”, says Thomas, completely deadpan. For a minute we’re not sure if he’s joking. Certainly it’s not the first thing you’re going to pick up from seeing them play, and even guitarist and keyboard player Jackie is surprised.

“Really?” she asks.

“Previous bands and musical experiences have nothing on how much of an influence religion has played on our music”, he says seriously. “A big chunk of the aggression comes from, not religion as such, but the forced idea of indoctrination of children.”

“To be clear, both me and Thomas went to Catholic schools, even though neither of us are religious in any way”, explains Jackie. “Tom’s parents were very religious.”

“It’s not about my parents,” he stresses, “but about the social context in which I was raised, things like schools. I had certain friends that surprised me when they told me they were religious. From years of confusion, eventually in my much later years I understood what it was all about and extreme resentment came from that. I think there’s a huge part of it in the songs.”

Another part of where the live aggression comes from is their rhythm section, especially drummer Alex. It hasn’t been an easy road for Kins to get here, and despite a big send off from Oz only two of the original quartet remain. Thomas’ bassist brother’s visa went pear shaped and he had to return home, while their original drummer decided that at 19 years old he wasn’t ready for the permanent move and went back to study.

“It was horrible”, admits Jackie. “We got to this point and we were like, ‘What are we going to do?’ We had no idea. Brighton was the first right choice we made. We’d lived in London and felt like everything had fallen apart. But we got here, got our house, started settling into Brighton life and everybody was so helpful and accommodating, and we started meeting people.

And then Alex and Rob came along.”

Affable bassist Rob is actually from Wolverhampton, but Alex is another Aussie that Thomas knew from touring back home.

“I remember being jealous of Alex’s singer for having Alex as a drummer”, recalls Thomas. “At the time I was playing in a band

ONLINE AT WWW.BRIGHTONSOURCE.CO.UK

where I wasn’t in charge of the autocracy and I remember watching Alex and having this dream, ‘Wouldn’t it be great to have Alex in the band that I eventually form.’”

Thomas says that they have a connection. “I feel extreme satisfaction with the way he grabs onto the songs and rips them apart. I don’t know if that’s the right phrase. The way he harnesses them. We feed off each other, it’s back and forth until it’s this energetic, monstrous beast.”

Many of the songs are written by Thomas on bass, or with a starting point of programmed beats, rather than on acoustic guitar which Thomas find completely uninspiring and “weak”.

It seems to make the melodies tiptoe around each other rather than the space being filled with strums and walls of distortion.

Certainly big chords are not on the agenda.

It’s a sound that has certainly pricked the right ears, as Kins have an all star line up behind them, including management by the people who look after Mercury Prize winners Alt-J. “We’ve got visas that will expire one day, in a year or two, so we always felt like we wanted to make our mark while we were here and get to work before our time ran out”, says Jackie.

“We made our dream list of people we wanted to work with when we got here, and it’s mental that we’re working with those people now.”

It’s clearly going right since they got here, but what brought them to our shores? Well it seems Brighton’s reputation for being a centre of music travels right around the globe, this time in the form of a tip off from a friend who had seen a lot of the world. And that was all it took.

“When we arrived at Heathrow we stayed in London for about a month in total”, says Jackie. “For some reason it didn’t quite click with us. It just didn’t feel like home, or didn’t feel comfortable. We came to Brighton for a day trip, got off the train and straight away we were like, ‘This is home.’”

“Our manager pointed out that after visiting Melbourne it reminded him so much of Brighton,”, adds Thomas. “You can see where we drew that comfort.”

“If we weren’t in a band I think we’d still be here”, adds Jackie.

“We just really like it here.”

The main reason for leaving was that it’s so expensive to be a band in Australia. You can forget driving just up the road to do a gig – most of the major cities are at least ten hours from each other.

“Melbourne is a fantastic place”, says Thomas. “It’s full of great food, it’s really good culturally, but it’s like an oasis in a very dry desert, quite literally.”

“Australia has a beautiful landscape and a great quality of life, but you do feel like the party is going on elsewhere”, adds Alex.

One party they’ve got lined up is the third Sea Monsters in January, where they’re playing our night.

“I remember seeing it in SOURCE when we’d just moved down, and saying, ‘Why aren’t we doing these things?” remember Jackie. “So it’s really cool to be doing it now.”

“We’re currently deciding which track to put on the compilation CD”, says Thomas. “There’s a lot of variation in our songs so it’s hard to pick one to represent ourselves. Our manager said the other day, ‘You’re just not a singles band, you’re an albums band,’ and I think that’s really accurate. I want to pick our most aggressive song.”

Which just about wraps things up, unless Kins have got anything to add.

“I always wonder, ‘What’s actually interesting to read in an interview?’” ponders Jackie.

“I could say some real controversial shit, just to spice it up,” Alex offers.

“What did I say about religion?” asks Thomas.

“That it contributed to the aggression of your music”, says Alex.

“Oh, good, that’s fair enough”, Thomas says with a smile.

Concorde 2 Sun 2nd Dec

As you get older it’s hard not to be bitter and resent those talented artists who are getting far too successful even though they’ve only just stopped wearing Pampers. Netsky is one of these youngsters, but rather than punch him in his lovely little face, we’ll settle for finding out what his “full live show” entails.

His drum’n’bass output has always been exciting and very accomplished for one so young and no doubt this evening will be of similarly high calibre. (ZC)

JERU THE DAMAJA Concorde 2 Tues 4th Dec

SOURCE TICKETS

The original dirty rotten scoundrel never shied away from critiquing the world. From his anecdotal observations of gritty life in 90s Brooklyn to analysing the state of his beloved hip hop, Jeru The Damaja’s hardcore conscious style made heads nod, not only to the beat but also in agreement. He’s no stranger to touring but it’s been years since his last gig in Brighton. With support from High Focus and The Night Owls this night’s 99.9% guaranteed to be unmissable. (ZC)

DAGGER’S 2ND BIRTHDAY Life Fri 7th Dec

Dagger’s already two years old, which in club night years is a double centenary. If the cold British winter is getting you down and an exotic holiday isn’t on the horizon, hit up Life where the carnival sounds will transport you to a more tropical climate.

JAGUAR SKILLS

Coalition Sat 8th Dec

His mixing makes the mind boggle, blending The White Stripes’ ‘Seven Nation Army’ into ‘One’ by Swedish House Mafia. Well, not blending exactly, but it’s still impressive.

There’s no shadow of a doubt that this ninja knows how to up the ante – when Jaguar Skills is behind the wheels of steel it’s a guarantee that the party will be pumping. No other DJ has assaulted our eardrums with every tempo quite like the mixes of Mr Jaguar, so we’re looking forward to seeing if he can do it in the flesh. (ZC)

HOSPITALITY

Digital Sat 8th Dec

Once toted as the saviour of drum’n’bass, High Contrast ignored the hyperbole and, thankfully, the trends for dubstep and double time. He still produces exquisite liquid cuts (yes, we’ve conveniently forgotten his foray with Tiësto) and is responsible for many a genre-defining tune, so it was no surprise when he landed the Olympic ceremony gig.

Labelmates and obvious fans of text speak S.P.Y and Nu:Tone prop up the bill to ensure you’re LOLing on the dancefloor. (ZC)

T WILLIAMS

Audio Sat 8th Dec

His house productions garnered attention a couple of years ago with the delicious little debut EP he released on Tom Lea’s Local Action imprint, but T Williams has been in the game from way back. Under his Dread D alias he was behind some of the very first grime hits but more recently he’s focused on his DJing and high profile remixing for the likes of Skream and Maya Jane Coles. Warehouse is free before midnight, meaning you can’t complain about being skint because it’s Christmas. (ZC)

WRAPPED IN PLASTIC

This’ll be the last Green Door Store night for promoters Below The Line for a while, and they’re leaving the venue on a high. Local producer Wen has a maturity that belies his years (he couldn’t make the last time he was booked in Brighton because he’d have missed school), with atmospheric cut-up vocals and a stripped back, pared down take on building beats. Fellow Keysound Recordings producer Sully’s also on the line-up and will be exhibiting his dark bass style, guaranteed to get the cobbles pounded by grooving feet. (JMM)

Stock up on donuts and damn fine coffee for this free, David Lynch inspired club night from the Anti-Ghost Moon Ray collective. Promising to turn the Green Door Store into a Twin Peaks “pine forest dream”, the music encompasses new remixes of Lynch soundtracks and live reinterpretations by the collective (so Gazelle Twin, Bernholz and Great Pagans may well be involved). The Lynch aesthetic extends to themed snacks and fancy dress, but please don’t come as Bob. Bring a log. (SH)

Applesauce sure are firing with the big guns. Former Haçienda chef Garnier (yes, really) has been one of the most highly regarded DJs for the last 25 years.

He normally plays long sets – from about four hours upwards – with the most interesting stuff played in the build up. Warm yourself up with a blast of his excellent radio show, It Is What It Is, from his comprehensive website. (JK)

JACKMASTER Digital Sat 15th Dec

He collates classics and manages to deftly mix booty bass and r’n’b with stomping house and thumping techno, resulting in sets that drip with sex and ravers covered in all sorts of bodily discharge. Numbers’ Jackmaster is responsible for some of our favourite mixes of this year and anyone who goes from Lil Wayne to Jameson’s ‘Urban Hero’ is a sonic hero of ours. You can see what we mean at Digital where he’s joined by Happa and the Blah Blah Blah DJs. (ZC)

Brighton’s best night dedicated to Motown and northern soul spreads its wings to find a new home at Audio. The new basement setting will bring back an underground aesthetic to the likes of Otis Redding, The Velvettes and Aretha Franklin, not dissimilar to how the movement was when it first took off in the north of England. We reckon the classy tunes and subterranean vibe will be a match made in soul heaven. You might want to stop and think it over before chucking your talc on the floor though. (ZC)

CLUB REVIEW

CAT FACE WORDS AND PHOTOS BY JAMES KENDALL

Five Halloweens ago we started counting which there were more of, sexy witches or sexy cats. We’ve had to call that competition to a close, cos the witches are now completely outnumbered by the felines. Why? Because everyone looks cute with whiskers and a little black nose drawn on their unremarkable human faces.

FYI

NEXT EVENT: Tuesday 11th December (January TBC), The Haunt WEB: catfaceclub.com RESIDENT DJS: Milton, Budakan

Cat Face takes that premise and turns it into the best idea for a club night we’ve heard in ages. It’s a tenner entry, or just £3 if you’ve got a cat face drawn on. But there are rules: “No acting like a cat. No other cat paraphernalia apart from a cat face. It’s not a cat appreciation society.”

Why it’s so brilliant is that it’s impossible to act to cool if you have a cat’s face and it’s impossible to be intimidated by cooler people when they’re cat faced-up. Which is probably why it’s roadblocked at midnight. The electro-y dubstep and hip hop party tunes help, but this is a brilliant antidote to overly serious clubbing.

To give you an idea of what a good deal that is, if you wanted to see this month’s headliner Peace anywhere else on their tour you’d be paying upwards of £6.50 and be WORDS BY JAMES KENDALL watching the stage in a much bigger PHOTOS BY @EDLILO venue.

As you might imagine, the night It gets pretty tiring always chasing the Metz ‘Get Off’ attracts the most passionate music next big thing.

WORDS BY STUART HUGGETT, JAMES KENDALL, JAKE KENNEDY, JESSICA MARSHALL MCHATTIE, BEN MILLER

THEATRE: FRACTURED / OUTSIDE EDGE Little Theatre Weds 5th – Sat 8th / Tues 18th – Sat 22nd Dec

Fractured is a whodunit featuring lies, wrecked dreams, broken marriages, true love and all the other incendiary ingredients indicative of a great night in the Pav Tav to kick off the month at the Little. Outside Edge is more bawdy fare. Embroiled in trouble and strife, a bunch of cricketers’ WAGs set fire to their husbands’ cars and lock themselves in toilets, resulting in a dose of fear and loathing in darkest Dorking. The official show description contains five exclamation marks. (BM)

BOOKS: BRANDON BLOCK Redroaster Café Thurs 6th Dec

The Grit Lit group bring clubland icon and one-time Ronnie Wood botherer Brandon Block to their regular evenings at the Red Roaster, to read from Matt Trollope’s upcoming biography ‘The Life & Lines Of Brandon Block’. With a title like that, you know you’re not going to be hearing about golf with Terry Wogan. With a supporting cast of gritty local literary types, it should be colourful, to say the least. (JKY)

TALK: NELLY BEN HAYOUN Lighthouse Thurs 6th Dec

Nelly Ben Hayoun is the director of The International Space Orchestra, perhaps the only collective laying claim to intergalactic bluegrass courtesy of band members including Damon Albarn, Bobby Womack and various NASA scientists and academics. More brilliantly, Ben Hayoun has the unofficial title of the Willy Wonka of Design and Science, making geek stuff sexy across Hadron Colliders, neutrino observatories, exclusion zones and deep space beamings. Find out what she’s up to at a pivotal point in space science exploration. (BM)

NELLY BEN HAYOUN

THEATRE: HANSEL AND GRETEL New Venture Thurs 6th – Sun 9th Dec

The famous old Brothers Grimm story is a 200-year-old seasonal classic, not least because of the warm reminiscence it evokes in anyone who shat themselves watching the film adaptation when they were a kid or, indeed, saw a premonition of future girlfriends in the form of the warty witch. New Venture’s version, apparently, also considers the lengths hunger drives us to, conjuring visions of that guy Vice found eating out of a bin down West Street. Still, chips are unbeatable. (BM)

THEATRE: MAX AND IVAN ARE… CON ARTISTS Dome Studio Theatre Fri 7th Dec

Although it would be unfair to compare anything to the excellent film-noir parody Joe Bone’s been touring in Bane, double act Max and Ivan have been spoofing gangster flicks to award-winning effect for a while. Six ex-cons comprise the usual suspects (smooth talker, hacker, mercenary, driver and so on) in this sendup of the heist genre, swiftly interspersed with numerous outbreaks of daftness and no shortage of quick-witted acting. More mob films could do with this much fun and theatrical farce. (BM)

COMEDY: RACING MINDS

Upstairs At Three And Ten Tues 11th Dec / Tues 8th Jan

Bursting forth like comedy embryos from well-respected Edinburgh Fringe improvisation fixtures The Oxford Imps, these four young toads have been known to lickspittle their hair for an old-fashioned live radio show in the company of virtuoso musicians and sound effects. It’s always best to hedge your bets given the increasingly ill-judged predictions of a culture hack who rarely escapes their box room, but this group’s pedigree and reviews so far suggest a decent chance of seeing a performance of precocity.

PETER HOOK

BOOKS: PETER HOOK Old Market Weds 12th Dec

We met Peter Hook backstage at a club in LA once and he was in the middle of a great salacious story until we were introduced as being from a magazine, at which point he swiftly changed the subject. The point of this namedropping anecdote is to say that he’s a great raconteur and has more stories than he has influential basslines. He never pulls any punches, even when talking about subjects as delicate as Ian Curtis and the equally dead Factory Records boss Tony Wilson. Both will feature tonight as he’s talking about his Joy Division book ‘Unknown Pleasures’. (JK)

COMEDY: THE TREASON SHOW

Dome Studio Theatre Thurs 27th – Mon 31st Dec

The squad of Head Boys chortling cerebrally on Have I Got News For You still have nowt on The Treason Show, although it’d probably be a tabloid scandal in itself if Ian Hislop could sing, dance and flail as goonishly as this lot. About 50 writers, apparently, have their cynicism played out by the city’s finest theatrical satirists in their traditional end-of-year round-up which, if you think about it, accounts for a value-per-gag figure even George Osborne might find agreeable. (BM)

THEATRE: JEFF WAYNE’S THE WAR OF THE WORLDS

SPOKEN WORD: POETS VS MCS

If you’ve ever shouted “Ulla!” in the playground or crawled around under a blanket pretending to be the Red Weed, you’ll be one of the thousands of kids whose nightmares were soundtracked by Jeff Wayne’ musical reimagining of H.G. Wells’ Martian invasion tale. The original’s stars of ’78 are replaced on this spectacular stage version by a curious bunch of performers, including Jason Donovan, Wet Wet Wet’s Marti Pellow, Kaiser Chief’s Ricky Wilson and a holographic Liam Neeson. Who’s gonna get fried by the Heat Ray? (SH)

It’s the tenth annual instalment of Hammer & Tongue and Slip Jam:B’s Poets Vs MCs, an event that makes us fundamentally happy to live in Brighton. Typifying the diversity and originality of our fair town, this event pits the best local rappers against the best local spoken word poets, for a rap battle like you’ve never seen. Usually selling out the Komedia, it’s moved up to Concorde this year, meaning even more people can experience and vote for whichever side is best on the night. (JMM)

Brighton Centre Sun 16th – Mon 17th Dec

Concorde 2 Thurs 24th Jan

SPOKEN WORD: IOPEN

COMEDY: JIMMY CARR – GAGGING ORDER

Brighton’s finest wordsmiths – rappers, poets, MCs, traditionalists, free versers – are coming together for a night celebrating the spoken word at The Old Market. The performers are a multifarious bunch in terms of style, yet all uniquely interesting. If you’ve never been to a spoken word event, this is the place to give it a go, as the night’s free.

Singer songwriter Zoë Hazel will be soothing the audience during the intervals with her melodic, ambient tunes. (JMM)

Comedy doesn’t have to be taxing. If you’ve forgiven Jimmy Carr and forgotten seeing him door-stepped in his dressing gown, perhaps the best manifestation of his new-found infamy is the prospect of watching him skewer anyone foolish enough to join his trail of trounced hecklers, eyes glowing malevolently as each lone voice pipes up. Bad gags and offshore scandals aside, the ticket prices for Carr’s latest round of big theatre gigs mean he’s certain to end up laughing whatever happens. (BM)

LOCALLY SOURCED WORDS BY LIZZI HART, STUART HUGGETT, BEN MILLER, ADAM PETERS

EP: BITTER RUIN

‘The Rocket Sessions’ (bitterruin.com)

Released to tie in with support slots at various O2 Academies, this EP assembles four tracks recorded over a week in London’s Rocket Studios. The band asked their fans which songs they wanted to feature, and the vast majority requested ‘Child In A Seacave’. Said soaring rock opera-esque live favourite is indeed present in a raw take that feels positively visceral. Other tracks are augmented by cello, percussion and multi-layered guitars on the spiky cabaret folk act’s most polished release to date. (AP)

ALBUM: COLD PUMAS ‘Persistent Malaise’ (Faux Discx)

Following a steady stream of singles and splits, Cold Pumas’ debut LP arrives as a triple team up between Nottingham’s Gringo, London’s Italian Beach Babes and guitarist Dan Reeves’ own Faux Discx labels. The extended format allows the trio to relax a little from their usual hyperactive motorik, with tracks like ‘Fog Cutter’ and ‘Variety Lights’ and stretching out for long, measured passages of one-note riffing. Smeared vocals and the relentless metallic treble of the guitars allows for extended hypnotic immersion. (SH)

EP: FINGERS & THUMBS ‘Trenches’ (Aspidistra)

Up until the end of last year, David Wheeldon was singer/ guitarist with psych-influenced quartet Anagrams. Now they’ve split, he’s stripped things back with solo project Fingers & Thumbs. This debut EP takes a warm country-rock approach, with four tracks of light, semi-acoustic Americana. ‘Family Ties’ and ‘Crooked Teeth’ roll along pleasantly, despite the grim addiction subject matter of the latter, while ‘Sick’ and ‘Trenches’ wind back with a more relaxed, porch-rocking feel.

A strong set of songs. (SH)

ALBUM: HAMILTON YARNS ‘Calm Down Grandad’ (Hark!)

Ten years and about as many albums down the line, Hamilton Yarns are still quietly going about their business of making

PAGE 34

COLD PUMAS

some of the most playful, distinctive music around. The excellently titled, carefully packaged ‘Calm Down Grandad’ assembles toybox melodies, soft vocals, gentle guitar picking and field recordings into a beguiling, complex soundworld.

Highly recommended, and with its sleepy, In The Night Garden atmosphere, almost perfect bedtime music for tots too. (SH)

EP: PAPER PLAYGROUND ‘Wake Up Dreamer’ (paperplayground.co.uk)

Formed by three-quarters of Brighton’s once hotly tipped Educated Animals, Paper Playground’s first full EP is an impressive six tracks of shimmering, technicolour dreampop.

‘Black And Blue’ opens with majestic piano chords, skittering electronic beats, sheets of billowing synth and ethereal vocals.

It’s a supremely confident start, and the rest of ‘Wake Up Dreamer’ doesn’t disappoint, with layer upon layer of rushing, lysergic pop confections. One of the most immediate and pleasurable debuts to arrive on the SOURCE desk in quite some time. (SH)

ALBUM: STRAW BEAR ‘Black Bank’ (Oilbug)

“Urban fox…urban fox…you know there’s only one thing on his mind,” coos Brighton singer Ian Ray, ruing the promiscuity of bin-maulers. Weird subject matters roll through the wistful alt-country of an album adorned with a tree at sunset in the Cambridgeshire countryside, where this breeze of pretty melodies was made. Cocking a string-backed snook at city slicking on the witty ‘London Needn’t Be The Centre Of The World’, it’s the musical equivalent of a stomp through the countryside. (BM)

EP: VERSES

‘Come To Life’ (versesuk.com)

New kids on the rock block Verses have clawed their way to recognition over the past two years, and ‘Come To Life’ really exemplifies this journey. This stellar six-track EP, including stonkers such as ‘Ten Seconds Left’ and ‘Who We Are’, show that the Brighton lads’ clean and polished rock, with big choruses, gang vocals and sheer breakdowns, is a great starting point. So much so, their EP was given away with Rock Sound magazine. Go listen, they will be big. (LH)

SOURCE WRITERS’ CHART 2012 WORDS BY SOURCE WRITERS PHOTOS BY KENNY MC CRAKEN & LUCIE GOODAYLE

PHYSICS HOUSE BAND

Never before have we had so many different artists voted for by the many ears of our SOURCE writing team. It’s a credit both to how deeply they dig into Brighton’s music scene and to how diverse that scene has been in 2012. So here’s the only chart of Brighton artists that counts. Listen to them all at brightonsource.co.uk/2012chart.

5. RESTLESSLIST ‘Magma’

1. HOLY VESSELS ‘Springtime Bloom’

6. KINS ‘Break Ties’

A song so evocative it gives us a tingle every time its plucked guitars amble along, the finest song from Holy Vessels’ debut is a singalong masterclass in country rock. From the skipping drums and gently plodding bassline to the twinkly pianos, ‘Springtime Bloom’ makes us feel like we’re wandering through the long grass of the South Downs as the sun beams down. Imagine how much we’d love it if we’d had any nice weather this year.

2. THE PHYSICS HOUSE BAND ‘Titan’

Instrumentally perfect and notoriously popular, TPHB demonstrate a resurgence of many of the most misunderstood genres around: prog rock, jazz fusion and technical metal.

There are more notes in ‘Titan’’s time-switching madness than the rest of this list put together.

3. TALL SHIPS ‘Murmurations’

Like Black Sabbath gone prog – but in a really good way – ‘Magma’ showed that not only were Restlesslist one of the best live bands of the year, they’d also produced some of the most chaotically brilliant Brighton studio moments of the year too.

Just a demo, but, oh my, you’ll know just why we put them on the cover and called them the best band of 2013. Emotional and stripped right back, ‘Break Ties’ is like finding a lost track

by The xx.

7. ORBITAL ‘Never’

It was hard to pick a stand out track from the Hartnolls’ ‘Wonky’, a huge return to form that took the epic melodies of ‘The Brown Album’ and ‘Snivilisation’ and welded them to new sounds and beats. But the euphoric, pretty ‘Never’ had us rushing each time we heard it.

8. ABI WADE ‘Hope’

Perfectly showcasing Abi Wade’s soulful, yearning voice and cello wizardry, ‘Hope’ is a hypnotic, dreamy song that grows on you with every listen.

Sparse, emotional and extraordinary brave – things don’t kick in until the six minute mark – this is the most hypnotic track Brighton has produced all year. Melodies weave in and out of each other like the starlings circling the pier, and when the choir kicks in…oh, wow.

9. FEAR OF MEN ‘Green Sea’

4. BAT FOR LASHES ‘Laura’

10. DARK HORSES ‘Radio’

This one-off collaboration between Natasha Khan and ‘Video Games’ songwriter Justin Parker wasn’t exactly the hit Bat For Lashes’ label must’ve been hoping for, but it became her showstopping torch song nonetheless.

PAGE 36

As shimmering, bright and luminous as its title, Fear Of Men’s dreamlike second single made almost every other musician in Brighton look like lumbering try-hards.

The almost embarrassingly stylish Dark Horses fulfilled their considerable promise with this hypnotic, echoing single, which proved once again that narcissistic radio stations can’t resist songs about themselves.

JENNIFER LEFT

11. MAXXI SOUNDSYSTEM ‘Regrets We Have No Use For’

It’s been an incredible year for Sam Watts following his SOURCE cover – international gigs, Fabric slots and releases on Needwant, Futureboogie and, here, Hypercolour. His best vocal track has a restrained Sam holding back one of the oddest basslines of the year.

12. JENNIFER LEFT ‘Black Dog’

You can never have too many hand claps or whistled melodies in a pop record – that’s official, it says so in the rule book.

‘Black Dog’ had all that and a chorus that would have a Parisian café singing along.

13. NATIVE ROSES ‘Shadows’

Lush, heart on sleeve, musical – if Fleetwood Mac came back with a record this good we’d be running through the streets rejoicing. Don’t believe us? Then go and download it for free from Soundcloud.

14. GNARWOLVES ‘Coffee’

Energetic closing track on the UK’s best pop punk band’s defining EP, ‘CRU’. Actually, we think they might be the world’s best pop punk band.

15. THE MACCABEES ‘Child’

This year the rest of the country caught up to what we’ve known in Brighton for years – that The Maccabees are one of the best bands around. ‘Child’’s widescreen emotional pop

PAGE 38

was a million miles from the punky indie group we saw all those years ago.

16. CURXES ‘Spectre’

Passionate, dark and committed, Curxes’ ‘Spectre’ has the hallmarks of a modern classic, with epic synths and punkinfluenced vocals melting into something totally unique.

17. CAVE PAINTING ‘Leaf’

Coming somewhere between airy chillwave and stadium ballads, ‘Leaf’ is the perfect jumping in point to Cave Painting’s debut LP – the shimmering guitars will have your spine tingling.

18. MIRRORS ‘Hourglass’

With Ally Young jumping ship to join the remnants of Viva Brother in Lowlife, it was a quiet year for Mirrors, and the epic synthpop of ‘Hourglass’ made us miss them all the more.

19. SONS OF NOEL & ADRIAN ‘The Yard’

Kicking off their highly-regarded second album, ‘The Yard’ is typical SONA – pretty and dark in equal measure. Heavier and more prog than ever, their layered folk is completely unique.

20. ODDFELLOW’S CASINO ‘We Will Be Here’

Oddfellow’s third album ‘The Raven’s Empire’ soundtracked many a dark January night when it crept out earlier this year, and the haunted threat of ‘We Will Be Here’ was its unnerving highlight.

HOLY VESSELS WORDS BY STUART HUGGETT PHOTO BY KENNY MC CRACKEN

HOLY VESSELS’ DEBUT SINGLE ‘SPRINGTIME BLOOM’ IS SOURCE’S SONG OF THE YEAR How do you feel about winning our writers’ poll?

Mavo (bass): I think it’s fucking great personally, I’m really happy about it. I always read the SOURCE and have done since I lived here. You helped us out in July, putting us on the cover when nobody on the planet knew or cared who we were, that was just great. What a nice Christmas present this is.

How did you fund the album?

T: We did a PledgeMusic campaign and that went through the roof. It wasn’t a very high target to begin with, but it was realistic, and we managed to exceed it by 150% or something.

We’re in a much better position than we would’ve been, cos now we’ve got physical CDs and stuff.

How much attention did ‘Springtime Bloom’ bring you?

Tommy (keyboards): It was the first thing we ever put out on the internet, and that was pretty much the amount of releasing we did with it. We didn’t have the money to do anything else.

M: My memory of it was thinking we could sit around for another six months trying to figure out how to do this really, really well or we can just bang a single out ourselves. It was a case of just, put your finger in the diary over the next three weeks and say, that Monday, let’s get the ball rolling. There’s no point hanging on, you can wait around forever.

Did you offer any special rewards to people who pledged more money?

T: Yeah, for £90 you could buy a song about you and three people bought them.

And things took off from there?

M: Yeah, we just sent a lot of emails to people, and you were obviously kind enough to put us on the cover when it came out. It snowballed from there. We had the launch party for the single at the end of that month at the Green Door Store, which was rammed. The guy from Indie Shuffle picked up on it, a few blogs picked up on it. We just put it out and told as many people as we could.

So now you’ve got to write them.

M: Yeah, we offloaded that one onto (singer) Frank. It’s quite nice, cos one guy sold his house, and his wife and daughters went travelling for a year, so he wanted a song about that.

T: A guy bought one for his unborn son M: That was a friend of mine from school. The other was for our guitarist Joe’s nan. His uncle bought it and said, “This is a song for your nan, so keep it clean.”

You’re playing Love Thy Neighbours’ night at Sea Monsters 3 too, with Abi Wade.

M: I’ve known her for a while, and I work with her sometimes, at an after school club, looking after kids. She’s great, I’m looking forward to seeing her play.

T: We haven’t chosen which song to do for the Sea Monsters album yet. I think they like to have a new one so we might give them the song for Joe’s nan.

Tell us about this month’s album launch?

T: It’s at the Blind Tiger with Common Tongues, Soccer 96, Autumn Red and Songs For Walter. A Christmas piss up, a gig and a get together.

Anything else planned for the new year?

M: They’re bands who we’ve been talking about doing gigs T: We’ve got vague plans to go to this house in Reigate that’s with for a while. Common Tongues were putting on their owned by a friend of ours and just spend a week there playing Christmas gig and asked if we’d play and we crashed their and writing, see what comes out of it. Maybe that will be the party so to speak. start of the next album.

SEA MONSTERS

NEARLY EVERY GOOD BRIGHTON BAND ON ONE BILL. YOU’LL BE DROWNING IN GOOD MUSIC. WORDS BY BEE ADAMIC, CHRIS BIGGS, STUART HUGGETT, JAMES KENDALL, AMY JO MCLELLAN, JESSICA MARSHALL MCHATTIE PHOTO NIMA ELMS

It’s probably the best thing to happen to the local music scene since ABBA won Eurovision at The Dome. Sea Monsters is the perfect place to catch all the bands that we’ve been banging on about this year. It’s only a fiver a night, or £25 if you want to see all 29 bands over the week, so it couldn’t be better value for money. Here’s some of the artists you don’t want to miss.

ABI WADE

Manipulating her cello like nothing you’ve ever heard before, Abi Wade is a true original. Her unique take on the instrument and angelic folk vocals have recently seen her secure a support slot on Patrick Wolf’s European tour, and latest single ‘Heavy Heart/Faker’ proves she’s destined for the top. She’s one of Brighton’s foremost musical talents, so if you haven’t seen her before, don’t miss your chance to do so in an intimate venue. (JMM)

AK/DK

Two drummers in a band is always going to be exciting, and throw in a selection of analogue and digital synths and effects and you’ve got AK/DK. The duo’s shows are mostly improvised and they always manage to create a chaotically beautiful sound, so you’re guaranteed to experience something unique.

PAGE 52

WRITTEN IN WATERS

Their energy is fantastic, and you’re likely to find yourself bouncing around the dancefloor as they’re a whole lot of fun. (BA)

DA-10

Nowadays everyone plays synth, right? Well, not like this.

DA-10 is a two-man band consisting of synth god Danalogue and MPC wizard 10-David, and their skills in building wobbly soundscapes, twinkly beats and heavy basslines using only hardware will have the technology geeks among you in awe.

Even if you couldn’t care less about the creation of the sound, marvel at the unusual sight of electronic musicians having a blast, and dance. (JMM)

GNARWOLVES

In the last year, pop-punk trio Gnarwolves have released a cracking EP, toured the country with Lower Than Atlantis, played a handful of shows in Germany, supported Ceremony, Fucked Up and Boysetsfire among others, and are always willing to squeeze in an extra local show here or there. A Brighton Gnarwolves show feels like what you’d imagine early Blink-182 or NOFX gigs to have been like – full of energy, constant crowd surfing and mass sing-alongs. Prepare to party. (CB)

THEDEALWASFORTHEDIAMOND

Complex and dynamic, The Deal Was For The Diamond have been sharpening their progressive metal juggernaut at a steady pace for some years, mixing up a breathtaking, speaker rattling blend of noise and precision. For some reason, they seem to finish off every venue SOURCE has caught them in (hello, the Engine Room and the Providence – or rather, goodbye). Stunning stuff. (SH)

GREAT PAGANS

Part of the striking, audio-visual Anti-Ghost Moon Ray collective, Great Pagans play hauntingly melodic, soft-edged guitar pop. Their recent eponymous EP was six songs of instant tunefulness, with a light touch and shimmering, spectral beauty. Great Pagans could prove one of the week’s unexpected, understated triumphs. (SH)

HOLY VESSELS

Brighton’s country-rock revivalists are excellent songwriters, which is probably why their ‘Springtime Bloom’ single won the SOURCE Writers’ Song Of The Year. Read more about them on page 40. (JK)

KINS

Yeah, they’re on our cover, in case you didn’t notice. If you’re too impatient to flick all the way to page 19 then here’s the short version: beautiful, melodic grooves that fall somewhere between Foals and The xx while sounding like their own band. (JK)

LOOSE LIPS

Embracing the energy of pop-punk like American teenagers in the mid 90s, Loose Lips are a refreshingly upbeat trio who have fun writing infectious tracks and playing them loud. After winning over crowds as the opening act to a plethora of other young British acts, the unsigned band are set to make a name for themselves. For now, their loyal following remains largely local but it won’t be long before the good word begins to spread. (AJM)

NEGATIVE PEGASUS

Counting One Inch Badge’s Todd Jordan among their number, Negative Pegasus are a heavy psychedelic trio, in the vein of such overdriven riff minimalists as Brooklyn’s Oneida. This year’s debut LP ‘Looming’ churns like a washing machine filled with liquid ecstasy, and you trapped inside. They will rinse your mind clean. (SH)

900 SPACES

Disco-pop quartet 900 Spaces play energetic, synth-led indie in the infectious style of Those Dancing Days and You Say Party! We Say Die! A refreshingly unpretentious band, led by bounding frontwoman Emma Lou, 900 Spaces are equal parts cheerfulness and bashfuness. A joy to watch and dance to. (SH)

THE PHYSICS HOUSE BAND

If you haven’t seen TPHB live you’re a) one of the few, and b) in for a right treat. Despite being prog-jazz fusion this is no chin stroking experience. See No.2 in our Writer’s Chart for more. (JK)

RUM COMMITTEE

It’s great to see hip hop represented on the Sea Monsters bill – Brighton has a great scene, arguably lead by RumCom. Their LP ‘Boozetown’ revels in the underbelly of the city and is as gritty musically as it is lyrically. Only problem: with such a huge line-up – TC Johnston, Prince Kong, Gizmo and Captain Bukioe, plus singer Rag ‘n’Bonez Man and a quartet of producers – they might struggle to fit on the Albert stage. (JK)

SEA BASTARD

The heaviest band at this year’s festival play the sort of crushing doom metal that you could imagine actual Sea Monsters themselves grooving to in the ocean’s pressurised depths. The excellently named Sea Bastard play very loud and very long: they could only fit three tracks on their awesome ‘The Great Barrier Riff’ album.

But what incredible tracks. (SH)

SOCCER96

Sheepskin and UV-wearing (when we saw them at least) analogue dance pop outfit Soccer96 are one of the bands most likely to break through in 2013. Tracks like ‘SuperWarrior’ are quite sparse, otherworldly grooves while single ‘Call To Arms’ is a crunchy pop gem. If the idea of AK/DK sounds a bit much, these guys are a much easier jumping in point. Warped pop music that’s as fun as it is random. (JK)

THE SQUADRON LEADERS

Look sharp there. The Squadron Leaders are a saxpowered, instrumental surf music trio, with a cargo bay full of twangtastic originals and curveball covers to keep you on your toes. ‘A.I.’, for instance, doesn’t stand for artificial intelligence but a certain globe-conquering US punk anthem. Should prove to be the festival’s most shameless party band. (SH)

SUAVE DEBONAIR

Jumping on the bill for hip hop stalwarts Slip Jam:B’s showcase, Suave Debonair brings the party with his comic, skilful rhymes. Suave’s been in the game for a while, collaborating with 2012’s breakthrough trio Stooshe before they swapped their potty-mouthed r’n’b credibility for pointless TLC covers and advertising Furbys. With multiple identities and styles, Suave could steer this show in any direction. (SH)

WRITTEN IN WATERS

The extravagant Written In Waters are a complicated, progressive quintet, led by operatic vocalist Beth Cannon.

Gothic in a classic 19th century style, this year’s self-titled EP (produced by in-demand avant-metal specialist Jaime Gomez Arellano) prints their lyrics on a set of loose, surreal tarot EVENT: Prince Albert, Mon 21st – Sun 27th Jan cards, which hints at the mix of CD: ‘Sea Monsters 3’ out on Mon 21st Jan humour and deathly seriousness the WEB: oibrecords.com band deal in. Heavy as you like and way, way out there. (SH)

ED SOLO

BATTLEJAMMING PRODUCER DROPS HIS LP WITH DEEKLINE WORDS BY ZAC COLBERT With his debut LP ‘Bounce ‘n’ Shake’ set to drop in January, we talk to Ed Solo about the album, the evolution of Battlejam and the wonders of new studio equipment.

coming up on the 5th with Beardyman again which will probably be the first one in at least a year with both him and JFB.

You’ve been working with Deekline for years now, but this is your debut LP together. Why’d you guys make us wait so long?

We never really thought about it, I suppose. We were both doing so many different things with different labels, then Deekline suggested it and I thought, why not?

You mentioned the importance of JFB getting Serato, what other tech will you be using?

JFB’s gonna have about six decks set up I think, and a few musicians so he can sample them. Beardy’s moved from his Kaoss Pads, he had about four or five at one point, to his own kinda software design which he controls with an iPad. He’s been developing it for a few years and I think it’s pretty much ready.

The first disc is a traditional album and the second disc is more like a mixtape – tell us about the creative thinking behind that.

It’s to give people more for their money cos when we do the digital release we’re gonna have a deluxe version with instrumentals and a cappellas, and maybe a parts version as well. Plus you can go on iTunes and get compilations for like six quid and get 40 tracks and we’re competing with that. I think with the digital version of the album there’s 25 tracks on it.

What sort of stuff have you been using in the studio, any new bit of kit you’re loving at the moment?

Yeah, a little hardware synth called the MiniBrute, which is an analogue synth made by a software company. It’s the first time a software company’s made a hardware synth. I had to wait quite a while for it cos there’s a big demand and they couldn’t make them fast enough. But now I’ve got one and it’s pretty fun, I used it for the first time on a track the other day.

You’ve got a lot of talent featuring on it, is there anyone you wanted to get but they weren’t available?

Erm, no I don’t think so. Everyone on it is someone we’ve worked with in some capacity over the years so thought it would be good to get them on the album.

Awesome, you’re already putting it to good use. What sort of tracks can we expect from you in the future?

I’ve been doing a little bit of house here and there but it’ll be under a different name cos I do so many different things and it becomes hard. I play out in the clubs and someone might be there expecting the ‘Random Acts Of Kindness’ stuff, and You’ve also got Battlejam on the go, which you’ve been other people want to hear drum‘n’bass or breaks, and with so involved with for ages. How’s it evolved now that many different things you can’t keep all the people happy. The Beardyman’s taking a back seat? house stuff’s kinda bassline-y, a bit like Yeah I’ve been there from its conception Foamo, but more on the progressive really, ever since Jean-Marc got his side. And that’ll come under a new Serato box and realised he had a mic label. I’ve always liked lots of different input which he could sample. He met styles of music y’know, and I get bored ALBUM: ‘Bounce ‘n’ Shake’ Beardyman around that time as well and easily, so when I’m in the studio I’ll be BATTLEJAM: 5th Dec, Concorde 2 that’s how the whole thing started. Of working on a drum‘n’bass thing and I’ll WEB: facebook.com/EdSoloUK course Beardy’s got big, so now we’re think, bored of this, let’s do something doing Battlejam Presents. We’ve got one else.

STREET STYLE WORDS BY JAMES KENDALL PHOTOS BY LOMOKEV AT LOMOKEV.COM/STYLE

Sweatshops, child exploitation and mass production infamously make up a pretty nasty dark side to the fashion industry. But business is still booming despite us apparently knowing better, so is it time we started to get preachy about Primark?

This month we found Nicola who showed us that what you wear can have both style and substance if you think more carefully about what you’re buying. “I decided five years ago not to buy new things from shops”, she says.

“I didn’t want to carry on buying things which were made using slave labour or with children being used to make my clothes.”

Are we just being ignorant in our fashion choices and would we rather look good on a budget rather than doing good? “People don’t want to know the truth but the second you do know you really don’t have an excuse”, Nicola says. “It’s been tough doing what I do but by making these changes it’s a simple way of making a difference to so many lives.”

Hat from People Tree “I got it in a shop called Fair on Queens Road and it’s by a line called People Tree. We’re really lucky to have shops like Fair in Brighton but I think it’s just a shame that places like Topshop only do small ranges of fair-trade clothes; it’s a bit tokenistic.”

Coat from eBay “I think it was originally Topshop. I get a lot of second-hand clothing online.”

Skirt from Oxfam “The vintage look is definitely important to me. I think the smarter, feminine and tailored shapes just look better on me but it’s probably taken me six or seven years to find my style. I know I used to get it wrong and end up looking like I was going to a fancy dress party!”

Shoes from eBay “Finding shoes is the hardest thing about what I do as it’s really difficult to get ethical ones which are cool but aren’t incredibly expensive.

They are expensive for a reason and I support that but I can’t afford to spend £80 or £90 on a pair of shoes every time I want one so I try to get them second-hand and hardly worn instead.”

UNSUNG HERO

100 PEOPLE WHO MAKE BRIGHTON WHAT IT IS NO.36 JON BARRENECHEA WORDS BY JAMES KENDALL As his second cinema gets ready to open at the Komedia, we talk to the man who keeps us in proper films, Duke Of York’s general manager Jon Barrenechea.

What are you most excited about with Duke’s At Komedia?

At the moment, just it actually opening. We’ve been building for months but we’ve been working on this project for years, trying to get a second site in Brighton in different places. So beyond the fact that it’s a great cinema, that it’s happening at all is quite exciting on its own.

You must be really pleased with the position.

The location is the highlight of the whole thing, because you couldn’t pick a more Brighton place to be. The North Laine, Gardner Street, the Komedia building – it doesn’t get any more Brighton than that. We’re excited that it’s in the heart of town. It’s something that we always wanted, to be a cinema in town. And what we’ve done with it is really good, I think. It’s a great combo.

What were the challenges?

Building inside an existing building that was running the whole time we were working – that was logistically quite difficult. The architects had to figure out how to fit two screens, two bars and all the facilities you need within the old Komedia music venue. And because we used the same staff that run the Duke Of York’s to open the new cinema, we couldn’t forget about the Duke Of York’s. And it all coincided with our film festival.

What does it mean for Big Duke’s?

The way I imagine it is that Duke’s is the older brother who sees the new sibling arrive and might be a little apprehensive at first but hopefully they get along really well. We’ve done a lot with Duke’s this year because we wanted to make sure it’s not neglected and it didn’t feel left behind. But it’s going to do what it’s always done, show great films to packed audiences.

What has been favourite film of 2012?

Nostalgia For The Light. It’s a Chilean documentary about astronomy and torture, believe it or not. It’s quite an amazing film.

The Place “I am gazpacho, oh! I am a summer soup, mmm!” wisely crimped The Mighty Boosh, but as we all know soup is a winter food and one of the few silver linings on the many black clouds the season brings. So what better time to check out the new Soup-urb café that’s taken the place of Nia at the end of Sydney Street.

The Meal We’re delighted to discover that Soup-urb doesn’t just sell hot liquid meals, they also have a huge range of stuff that a high end café should, “but soup is what gets us excited”, they exclaim in their menu. So we order a bit of everything, dipping into it like British tapas. The cauliflower and chorizo soup

(£3.75) is delicious, like cauliflower cheese – thick and extremely creamy. The crab soup (£4.50) isn’t bad either and despite the coconut milk and chilli isn’t remotely Thai. It feels like an English seaside winter warmer. The East Sussex rarebit (£5.75) is big and sloppy, with just the right amount of spice to let the cheese sing out. The chicken and parma ham salad (£7.50) has a huge breast, a fresh herby salad full of delicate flavours and goes perfectly with the tangy marmalade. There’s an upgrade option for the soups that means you can add fresh lemonade and a sausage roll for £2.25, and how can we resist? The sausage is actually homemade and very meaty. We add in a portion of crisp crackling with apple sauce (£2.75). That’s healthy, right? One of your five a day.

The Verdict A lovely setting on a wintry Saturday afternoon, Soup-urb’s food is perfect for the season too. On the decadent side of hearty, there’s lots of cream, lots of cheese, just lots of everything your body loves as it gets ready to hibernate.

Were We Sussed?

We don’t think so but then we did order way too much food for two people, even though we only spent £15 each. We probably just looked greedy.

In Conversation With

Ed Hubert

Like, Totally… We Talk To the director and stars of new brighton skate Film Words by Liam Carroll For the past year and a half Brighton-based skate flick producer Ed Hubert has been very busy indeed. His previous release LA* set the bar pretty high with phenomenal skating and camerawork, but follow up Like ups the ante with a bigger budget, comic social networking theme and the inclusion of an over-excitable 90s children’s TV star. We caught up with Ed and the wheel-based stars of the show, Dan Emmerson, Ollie Smith and Niall Birnie, for a quick grilling.

Right, first off, Dave Benson Phillips. What? How? Why? Ed Hubert: Originally it started as a joke. We talked about having some A-list support for the vid and when DBP popped up I sent him an email for a laugh. Turned out he was really up for it.

Ollie Smith: First off he wanted £1500 for it. I think he ended up with about £100 and a free lunch. He loved it though and was great fun to work with.

Niall Birnie: Yeah he was brilliant, we would have him back anytime.

Another potential head scratcher is the Facebook theme.

What were you thinking?

EH: I just went for a theme that wouldn’t be seen as cool and that would bum a lot of people out. I think that worked. I got lots of hate for it online.

OS: I really liked it.

Dan Emmerson: It was originally a toss up between Facebook and Myspace. Just like Facebook won in real life, it won for us too.

NB: I can be quite serious sometimes.

DE: I really wanted to go to Paris and it was amazing. We didn’t do enough drinking there though, which I think affected our skating.

OS: I loved Deutschland. The skating was great but the nights were better.

NB: It was good going to spots I’d seen in a previous video then doing a trick better than what I’d seen. That’s what skateboarding is all about.

The vid does give off a great sense of fun, but there must have been harder times as well. What were the highs and lows of working on it?

NB: My highest point was definitely skating with Dave Wallace, he’s pretty much my man crush. Lowest point in the vid, and probably my life, was the masturbation station in Berlin. We all dared each other to go in but had to share the same cubicle so we took turns. The stripper was haggard and the booth stunk of fresh semen.

OS: Meeting Dave Benson Phillips has got to be up there. That and Scott O’Malley’s heel flip down the Preston Park rose garden four-stair. And watching myself skate. And Dave Wallace’s Dutch accent. And those pink shorts.

EH: Those pink shorts were a low for me. Gave me a headache.

DE: Leon Karakashian rolling in off the top of the Level toilets.

That was nuts. My low point came after I smashed myself in the nuts two times in as many days. I almost quit the vid. I was wondering around Paris borderline dying and getting loads of really weird looks.

EH: I’ve mostly got lows come to think of it. Another one was Chris [Dadswell, owner of PUSH Skatestore] falling off a building and breaking his back.

There are a lot more European spots in Like compared to LA*. Did you have a particular list of sites you wanted to Now the DVD’s out are you going to chill out for a while, or get footage at? have you got something in the works already?

EH: No, not really. We’d just sit around talking and making it OS: PARTY TIME! up as we went along.

DE: We don’t want to give Paris and Berlin were away too much just yet. givens, big cities with EH: I want to do lots of spots that are something a bit different. easy and cheap to do.

Something funnier, with DVD: Like, out now at PUSH Skatestore and likevideo.yokaboo.com That said I wanted to do less skating.

TRAILER: tinyurl.com/LikeTrailer the whole vid in Milton NB: Yeah, and more LAUNCH REVIEW: brightonsource.co.uk/reviews/like Keynes. Love that place.

A-list celebrities.

Warehouse & Motel Tropical NYE Party Audio

Warehouse joins forces with Motel for the ultimate New Year’s Eve bash, and the talent they’ve got is enough to get you hot under the collar. DirtyBird’s Eats Everything is backed up by new house wonderkid Huxley. His high-grade strain of house echoes his earlier forays into garage, where robust basslines groove under soulful vocals and glittering disco harmonies. Dusky’s also aboard to bring their classic-meets-contemporary sound, typified by the irresistible acid groover ‘Flo Jam’. (ZC)

The Garden House Party Brunswick

The team behind Croatia’s Garden Festival take over The Brunswick for this intimate New Year’s Eve bash, recreating that old school house party vibe (you remember, from when you were too young to get into clubs) with a spot of domestic redecoration. DJs include Ron Basejam (Crazy P), Joe 90 (Futureboogie) and create-digging specialists Psychemagick, whose sublime re-edits of Talking Heads and the theme from Sorry! should be on every party playllist.

Advance tickets are recommended: it’s a big line-up in a small venue. (SH)

Controversy: The Prince Party Caroline Of Brunswick

The man who penned the most ubiquitous New Year’s Eve song bar ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is celebrated with this special edition of regular Brighton tribute Controversy. Let’s face it, even 13 years down the line, you’re unlikely to avoid ‘1999’ this evening, so you might as well cut to the chase and get down to the Cazza. Prince fans shouldn’t need any further recommendations for this Paisley Park celebration, but, just in case, it’s only two of your purple pounds to get in. (SH)

Brighton’s favourite night dedicated to the music of the 90s is here to help your balls drop, we mean, here to help the ball drop. If, like us, you’ve ever dreamt Will Smith was your father and took you trainer shopping then Pump Up The Jam’s your answer to that hideous question, “Oh, what you doing for New Year’s?” You can expect to hear the likes of Baby D and Michael Jackson, Daft Punk and LL Cool J, from DJs Willerby and Outbreak. (ZC)

Supercharged Concorde 2

Shy FX is a don of d’n’b. We’re not quibbling but, as excited as we are to see him, we’re aching to rock out to UK garage pioneer Wookie. From the early morning intro of ‘Scrappy’ to the murky chords of ‘Storm’ and the instantly recognisable Spanish guitar of ‘Back Up’, which so perfectly complemented its bumping bassline, there’s not a tune he’s made that we wouldn’t play out. So yeah, sorry Shy, but this star war belongs to Wookie. (ZC)

Stonelove Digital

Matt Stonelove’s created a seminal Newcastle/Brighton rock night that fuses the old with the new, so Led Zeppelin can be heard next to Mumford & Sons. From indie anthems to stoner rock, Stonelove’s been filling Digital to the brim every Friday night for the last four years. If alternative’s your bag, then this is where you should be, baby. (ZC)

Blah Blah Blah NYE Afterparty Digital

From 3am onwards, Blah Blah Blah DJs take over the party with Julio Bashmore headlining and we can’t think of many DJs we’d rather dance the New Year in with. The Bristolian producer made house music cool again with ‘Battle For Middle You’ and his sets are similar to his tunes.

They swell and undulate before crashing on the dancefloor like a sexy wave, if waves are sexy, which we’re shore they can be. (ZC)

BETA HECTOR Fortune Of War

Tru Thoughts’ Beta Hector – AKA Brighton bassist Simon Hill – headlines the Fortune Of War’s NYE party. Fairly frequently found within the Fortune’s wooden arches, Beta Hector’s DJ sets touch on classic soul, funk, rhythm & blues and hip hop. Expect all the above and perhaps some space age Hector originals in the style of last year’s deep debut album ‘Sunbeam Insulin’. Grab your place early, it’s free and likely to get rammed. (SH)

Celebrating their first New Year’s Eve in Brighton, Funfair are going all out as you’d expect. A photobooth, a raffle to win £300, a glitter cannon, and bubbly – what more do you want for £15? A decent DJ? Well Rich Pack is worth the money alone. He mixes together rock’n’roll and classic soul in a way you’ve never heard before, beatmixing old tracks seemingly using the Force (and a bold use of the pitch control).

It promises to be all sorts of fun, in a special, glam setting. (JK)

The Big Itch Green Door Store

New Year’s Eve was roadblocked at the Green Door last year (we know, we ended up giving up queuing and having an extremely peculiar night at The Pond).

We’re gonna recommend getting there early again this year, ‘cos it’s only bloody free entry. Furthermore, rockin’ good times are guaranteed at The Big Itch, with more 50s and 60s garage sounds than you can shake your voodoo stick at, and live bands to boot. If not, we’ll be in the pub. (SH)

It Is Still 1985 Haunt

If you had to bet on who was going to do a Ghostbusters themed NYE night you’d know your money was safe with Henron and the ’85 crew. Of course, Pool Valley has its own supernatural spell, and when the clocks strike midnight the Haunt just rewinds back into the 80s all over again, a world in which Ray Parker Jr is forever the coolest ghost hunting funkster in New York City. Busting makes us feel good. (SH)

Born Bad New Year’s Hop / Ipop!

Komedia

Always a great alternative to the usual dance party NYE nights, Born Bad brings its annual mix of rockabilly, garage rock, surf and jive to the Komedia.

With Born Bad resident DJs Jon Slade, Jim ‘Sonic’ Smith, Steph Goodman and Duncan DeMorgan laying on the greaser tracks, dress to impress in vintage 50s dresses or a rebel motorbike outfit. The venue’s second NYE party of the night is down in the Studio Bar, with a floorfilling selection of dancing favourites from every decade of pop. (SBB)

AKAAKAROAR Life

Resolutely ignoring the freezing coastal winds that typify a Brighton December, AKAAKAROAR are putting on a NYE party with a Cuban theme – think sleazy décor, rum cocktail specials, sunshine artwork and a lot of dubious dance moves. Musically, it’s a showcase of some of the most interesting yet popular electronic musicians around, with Detroitinfluenced Martyn topping the bill, along with bass aficionado Eliphino, South London Ordinance and Tessela upstairs, and two further rooms downstairs. Whip your thermals off, this is going to be hot. (JMM)

Critical Sound Afterparty Life

For Life’s NYE afterparty they’ve got Critical Sound to start your year off with both drums and bass. Label boss Kasra is joined by collaborator Cyantific to front the line-up. The pair produced ‘Outer Limits’ back in 2007, a sumptuous tune of skittering percussion and grumbling subterranean basslines. Foreign Concept’s also in tow, with Codebreaker and Bassline MC providing vocal duties. (ZC)

The Physics House Party Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar

SOURCE’s favourite psych-prog power trio The Physics House Band are pulling together the line-up for Sticky Mike’s NYE bash. The band have had a phenomenally successful 2012 and were only pipped to the top spot in this issue’s Writers’ Chart by the narrowest of margins. Riff trio Tigercub and melodic producer Luo are among the acts joining them live tonight, with Vintage Fly Sound System and plenty of DJs and VJs pitching in. (SH)

Booty Bakery Tube

If you’re (wo)man enough to admit that Destiny’s Child were frickin’ awesome (we are, and they were) then Booty Bakery’s got the NYE recipe for you. It’ll be a fusion of new and old bass with some good old fashioned r‘n’b and a sprinkling of classic hip hop, shaken and stirred until the mixture’s fluffy. With Lick providing the ice cold yoghurt refreshments you’ll be returning every Thursday in the new year. (ZC)

Bassface Volks

Lunarcy and Free Bass team up for the Volks’ huge old school drum’n’bass night. A tenner entry gives you an epic night of dancing, including twin back-to-back appearances from two pairs of dancehall legends: Ray Keith and Bladerunner, and Jumping Jack Frost and Bryan Gee, both maxing out three hour sets. Keep the Red Bull handy though: just when the curtain comes down at five in the morning, the afterparty begins, taking the most hardcore through ‘til 10am the next day. (SH)

SIX OF THE BEST

Alternative Christmas Albums Words By MATT BARKER, Stuart Huggett

The gold standard of Christmas albums will forever be genius producer and convicted murderer Phil Spector’s definitive 1963 collection ‘A Christmas Gift To You’, although The Beach Boys’ ‘Christmas Album’, the work of Spector obsessive Brian Wilson, was a worthy successor.

They’ll be inescapable while you’re stuck in the Argos queue over the coming weeks, so here’s six less overplayed efforts to soundtrack your holidays.

James Brown

‘A Soulful Christmas’

You wouldn’t actually want to spend the holiday round James Brown’s gaff (firearms under the tree, PCP in the yule log), but the Godfather did love a good Christmas record. Of his many seasonal recordings, 1968’s ‘A Soulful Christmas’ gets the nod for its evergreen opener ‘Santa Claus Goes Straight To The Ghetto’ (later reinvented by Snoop Dogg and friends) and the cover shot of Brown striking a triumphant pose in full Santa outfit. And lo, on Christmas Day 2006, he died. (SH)

ZE Records

‘A Christmas Record’

1981 was a good year for the Christmas album, with ZE Records’ noble effort vying with Les Disques Du Crépuscule’s stylish, art house ‘Chantons Noël’ for a place in the clued-up, self-conscious music fan’s stocking. ‘A Christmas Record’ brought most of the New York label’s superior roster (Suicide, Was (Not Was), August ‘Kid Creole’ Darnell) together for an outstanding set of seasonal disco, funk and country originals.

We should thank this album every December for giving The Waitresses’ party classic ‘Christmas Wrapping’ to the world. (SH)

Spearmint

‘Oklahoma!’

Shirley Lee and his intelligent indiepop band Spearmint released this conceptual mini-album in 2000. Set in a fictional small town on Christmas Eve, each song explores the lives of a different inhabitant, their loneliness and dreams. Saddest figure is the cowboy-dressing homeless man Oklahoma, “Standing in the middle of Woolworths, in the middle of

Page 2

Christmas” until one day he’s disappeared, dead. A British provincial It’s A Wonderful Life, without the happy ending, Spearmint’s use of northern soul samples keeps the album uplifting despite the tragedies. (SH)

Sufjan Stevens ‘Presents Songs For Christmas’

Think you know a few Christmas songs? Too clever by half troubadour Sufjan Stevens knows way more. ‘Songs For Christmas’ compiles his first five seasonal EPs, taking in dozens of traditional carols and hymns, and such off the wall originals as ‘Come On! Let’s Boogey To The Elf Dance!’ This year’s ‘Silver & Gold’ sequel brings the song count up to 100, including such unlikely Yuletide numbers as ‘Alphabet Street’ and ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’. The ultimate alternative Christmas collection. (SH)

Bob Dylan

‘Christmas In The Heart’

The most divisive selection on our list, the hardcore Dylan fans in the SOURCE office reckoned this straight-faced 2009 album truly beyond the pale. “He sounds like a geriatric weasel!” protested one. But as the wise folk of Walford used to say: cheer up Arthur, it’s Christmas. From its chocolate box sleeve to Dylan’s production pseudonym Jack Frost, ‘Christmas In The Heart’ was an un-ironic success, with the infectious version of Mitch Miller’s call and response 60s single ‘Must Be Santa’ an actual hit. Eggnog all round. (SH)

MOSHI MOSHI Records ‘A Christmas Gift For You From...’

Moshi Moshi’s MO is seeking out the best new bands, yonks before anyone else gets to hear them – for example, they put out Disclosure’s first single – so it’s no suprise to find the likes of Slow Club, Summer Camp and the appropriately-named James Yuill getting festive here. Undeniably, this is the sound of a bunch of young hip types having an unironic lark in the studio, and if that isn’t the true meaning of Christmas, we don’t know what is. (MB)
