FRESHERS’ EDITION 2010

WELCOME TO...

SKINT

O AS THE FAKE TAN FINALLY FADES and the dulcet tones of Stevie Wonder’s Glastonbury set drifts off into the memory banks, Skint magazine heads home and gets set for Freshers and a host of big nights and hot stories from the coolest city on the planet. That’s right kids, if you’re new in town… Bristol’s cool now! What used to be the realm of The Wurzels and Brunel is now proudly home to Banksy, David James and Festival Strength Cider! And we here at Skint Magazine thought it was about time this city had a listings mag to match. Lets face it folks, I’ve read obituaries with more life than most of those rags. With this in mind, we got in touch with hundreds of the South West’s hottest young writers… and when they said no, we roped in loads of old mates who couldn’t get a job for love nor money. We’ve got some sordid tales from the continent in Viscount Meyham’s travel column, Georgie will be giving you the run down on what’s hot or not from Bristol’s cat walk and we’ve got a million and one ways to waste your wedge with previews of all the big gigs and club nights as well as the big film releases. Ladies and Gentlemen…. Skint Magazine.

FRESHERS’ NEWS All Stars Party - Frenchay Campus 25th September, £25, 8pm Headline Act – Bombay Bicycle Club

Napoleon in Rags and Maps and Legends the line-up starts to justify the £25 price tag.

s the line up suggests, the guys and gals down at UWE’s SU have had a busy summer booking some big names for this year’s big Freshers’ bash. Topping the bill are London favourites the Bombay Bicycle Club.

Bombay Bicycle Club Having beaten off competition from The XX, La Roux and Mumford & Sons to win the Best New Band award at this year’s NME, the BBC will no doubt pull a hefty crowd of fresh indie kids to the UWE All Stars Party on the 25th. With support from the Pendulum DJs and Professor Green in room 2, as well as DJ Semtex, Out Like A Lion,

these high standards remains to be seen, but with Propaganda’s DJ Dan in support there aren’t many better places to waste a fiver.

Freshers Party - Bristol SU

5th October, £5 adv. Headline Act – The Maccabees DJ set

ith a more low key line up, and more affordable entrance fee, the Bristol Freshers Party is always a good start to the first term. This years line-up doesn’t quite have the A-listers attached to the All Star programme but the Maccabees, having played the main stage at Reading and Leeds festivals, represent a significant scalp. The Maccabees actually topped the bill on this years NME tour (above the Bombay Bicycle Club), having picked up a nomination for Best Video for ‘Can You Give It’ at the awards. As well as releasing critically acclaimed top 20 album Wall of Arms, The Macabees received a 5 star Guardian review for their live shows at Brixton Academy. Whether their DJ set lives upto

Brisfest

he Bristol Festival, or BrisFest as it’s now known, has gone from strength to strength since starting up in 2008. BrisFest offers up one of the last festivals this summer, and as it’s all within walking distance of the city centre, there’s not a tent or a sleeping bag in sight. There are over 500 bands, DJs, comedians and performers at this year’s festival, as well as everything from music industry discussions, to didgeridoo and samba workshops. The festival prides itself on being a community centred event, with the majority of acts and performers from in and around Bristol and

the South West. The two main outdoor stages are hosted by city venues Mr Wolfs and Lab, with an unplugged Anchor Stage, programmed by Jelli ReThe Heavy cords, opening up on the Saturday. On Sunday, local favourites The The festival kicks off at 6pm on Friday the 24th with fire dis- Heavy headline the Main stage, while plays, crazy walkabouts, huge scale Black Out JA + Run Tings Recordprojections, light shows, interactive ingz bring the Lab stage to a close. arts and loads of live music.

Lunacy Endangerment Pamplona... and

The Running of The Bulls... LAST MONTH, a university drop-out, serial

drug-abuser,

divorcee,

bankrupt and corruptor of the innocent, passed out in a human crush at the Opening Ceremony of this year's Pamplona Bull Run. He came to, covered in Sangria, other people's blood and his own urine, wearing a pair of brown gradient Ray-Ban Aviators and carrying twenty Euros and a gram of Cocaine in his left sock... , he is SKINT's very own Travel Guru...

Now

riends, addicts, perverts and dignitaries, welcome. Our time together is doomed to be short, so let's waste no time on lubrication – this union was never destined to be 'good' for either of us. Each and every day in this hideous 'Famous for Fifteen Minutes' disposable, fuck-orget-fucked society, is for me now navigated with no more tangible a purpose than an all-consuming urge for shark meat or the desire for Helium powered flight. In truth, a year such as this has been so far, would likely have proved impossible without such an abandon of traditional values and responsibility. I have visited Lithuania in search of sexual gratification and Serbia in search of freedom, I have thrown my physical form from aeroplanes on Ecstasy and from two-hundred foot cranes on bungee cords only ever seeking advice and reassurance from the flickering hundred watt light bulb of the Dream machine. The programme is not a long one and we meet just as I have crossed, what I at least have calculated to be, the

halfway point on the time axis. The latter half promises more than the first and there's every chance that my infirmed body will simply refuse to play along any further before we cross the finish line. Be not fooled, the road to our present location has been no gentle stroll. Many have sought to obstruct my progress and it seems that one cannot go night-fishing for succubi at midnight in ones own front garden, stark-bollock-naked - save for a pair of neon green socks, a poker visor and a composite carbon rod baited with MDMA - without affecting the local housing market.

driver had been vomited on whilst at the wheel and the toilet was a worthy contender for the next Turner Prize. The coach looked like it had played host to the Manson family for a month and smelled like a curious blend of shit, sick and semen. Having disembarked this 'Bangbus' for the criminally insane, I spent the balance of the first day acquainting myself with my new surroundings at the campsite and drinking and smoking by the pool. It is always important to get the measure of ones travelling companions and the nineteen hours on the coach had certainly been a decent indicator. However, the true moment of 'calibration' came when I sat down with a small group of miners from Western Australia that were discussing moral boundaries at the time. The conversation had led them to the topic of the swinging scene in London.

My trip to Pamplona for the annual Running of the Bulls did not see me equipped with full diplomatic immunity as my Serbian escapade had done, and the realisation that I had booked a seat on an Australian tour operator's coach sent a small ripple of fear up my spine. I knew their reputation, and sure enough, by the “I was fisting this chick while her time we had arrived at our destina- husband watched and she asked me to tion in Northern Spain our SKINTMAGAZINE.CO.UK 9 guide had been fired, our

take my watch off and “go deeper”. I said “No”, well you know, enough's enough ay... I was already in up to here!” Quite so. Everyone has their limits after all. For some it's a pint and a half of Real Ale once a week. For others, well, for others it's fisting someone else's wife while they watch, but not under any circumstances beyond the wrist. As the opening ceremony approached my drinking tolerances had clearly redlined. The Australians, New Zealanders and South Africans that surrounded me were now approaching their power-bands and were partying in downpours of Sangria until the sun rose in the morning sky. I had procured a quantity of cocaine from the only local I had met with a decent command of the English language and a few lines had helped me to gather myself. Not wanting to fall victim to the hoards of pickpockets that I had been warned about, I took a moment to reposit the balance and a twenty Euro note in my sock before ambling onwards to the nucleus. The opening ceremony takes place in one of the town's squares, a cobbled affair filled with revellers via several narrow roads and alleys. The Spanish Police stood four abreast as I passed them on my way into the square. Once inside, the crowd density went from busy - to packed - to asphyxiatory with terrifying speed. At five foot six and a half inches tall and possessing all the physical prowess of a man in his mid to late eighties, I am neither

the ideal height nor build for involvement in crushes of this kind. As the masses made for the exit, I had been unable to draw breath properly for several minutes and was only barely holding onto consciousness. Certain elements within the crowd were deriving enormous pleasure from pushing communally in one direction and then bracing for the backlash. With such a weight of people, this action gathers tremendous force and by the time this latest wave reached myself, and those around me, there was no hope of staying upright. As I fell and passed out in the middle of a stampede of drunken monsters twice my size I was sure this was it, I was fucked...

I came round in an adjoining side road with one of the British contingent who, apparently having seen my vacant, glazed expression pass in front of him had pulled me out from the bottom of the pile up. God save the Queen, the rest of the Brits will look out for each other. Upon my return, the campsite had descended into a post-apocalyptic, entirely lawless wasteland populated by droves of paralytic, laughing deviants running amok and sodomising each other with vigour. This was the case twenty-four hours a day. If you were brave enough, you could unzip your tent at any time of day or night and gaze out on scenes that would have made Caligula blush. One phenomena of particular interest was that it was unacceptable to allow a female that you had seduced “linger” after the deed was done. This ruling was not 'optional' and was enforced by the inhabitants of all neighbouring tents, whom after having provided a running commentary on your performance, complete with instructions and requests would listen carefully for the final throes, upon hearing which they would simultaneously erupt into a chant of “Out! Out! Out!” until their will was done, all to the sound of the rapturous celebrations of the gathered crowd.

On waking at five in the morn-

"the toilet was a worthy contender for the next Turner Prize" ing, a time with which I am by no means familiar, I have no qualms in confessing that I was in two minds as to what lay ahead. In terms of training I had done nothing except drink heavily, voraciously consume any and all controlled substances that I could lay my hands on and maintain a steady twenty-five to thirty-a-day smoking habit. My 'Personal Best' for the 100 metres, set whilst at school some years before, stood at twenty-eight seconds - and the intervening years of masturbation, drug abuse and drinking were unlikely to have improved matters. The San Fermin run measures 826 metres from start to finish and I think it fair to say that I had likely never run for that distance without a break before. Other than the above though, I was ready.

The coach, whose seats had already been completely covered in heavy duty black plastic sheeting to avoid being stained with blood, dropped us off in town shortly before six that morning. My attire, which had been compulsory for the opening ceremony of the previous day, now looked as I felt. The torn white linen trousers dip dyed in Sangria, urine and foreign blood from the knee down were lashed to my waist with a crimson sash that bore the town's crest at one end. My once white shirt now a veritable Jackson Pollock imitation along the lines of “Untitled #27 – Fuck-knows-what on Cotton 14.5”” Almost instantly, I lost the familiar faces of the British contingent from the coach. After a bacon and cheese sandwich and a can of Red Bull, my search for them led me

through the barricades and onto the course, that in itself was a strange sensation. The crowds were growing and photographers were taking position on the fences - the bloodlust was escalating. The leering faces of a thousand snuff fans ready to begin masturbating furiously at the first sign of injury, loomed down on me. I wandered through the crowds towards the stadium and picked up a copy of the 'Diario de Navarra', never normally one to cast judgement on a paper based solely on its thickness, I did on this occasion nevertheless wish I'd remembered to bring a copy of the Sunday Times with me, supplements and all. The newspapers you see, are not for reading but instead are carried by some runners as a kind of, well, last resort - what after all, could be better than a small roll of recycled paper for repelling the advances of six hundred and forty kilos of lean muscle crowned with two razor-sharp horns? In any case, as the choices at the time were have one or don't have one, I felt comfortable with my selection. Where the fuck had those blasted Britishers gotten to? No one who wished to avoid the wrath of the obscenely judgmental Spanish spectators would dare start their run this far along the course - cowardice may still carry the death penalty in Pamplona. I'd worked out my starting point using a finely balanced set of scales. On one side sat the risk of death - on the other, the fact that now was probably as good a time to go as any. Contrary to my best instincts, I decided to try and find the British contingent one last time and. Knowing that they weren't up towards the stadium, this meant walking closer to the bull pen. The start was only minutes away and I was a long way from where I wanted to be when that first firework went off. By the time I decided to abandon the search and turn back it was already too late, the crowds had descended upon me and moving anywhere was no longer an option. God damn it! This was not how I'd planned it! This narrow little street, crammed with die hard athletes, so close to the bloody bulls that I swore I could smell the brutes and pinned to my spot, in the middle of the road waiting for the death bell to ring. The cross section of participants is quite incredible and ranges from youngsters in their early teens

Pamplona opening ceremony 2010

through to octogenarians on their last legs and though not strictly permitted, a fair number of females had infiltrated the mix. I would love to tell you that I was at peace with my impending doom, in the same way as is often espoused by those of strong religious conviction, as the first firework went off however, there was no evidence to support this notion. Perhaps it was the fact that I knew my legacy would be pieced together back home from my personal effects, a collection of Midget porn DVDs and a shed full of dildos and spanking paraphernalia salvaged from a Central London whorehouse the month before. Whatever the reasons, one and all fell under the sword that was my Spanish daily, women, children, the infirmed - no one was spared, no quarter offered as I scrambled over the fallen and the forsaken. The gates were open, the bulls were coming.

turn around and watch the closest of the beasts pass within a foot and a half of my chest. In a group as the bulls were, they have all the force and momentum of an Intercity train, the cobbles themselves rumble as they would during an earthquake. I took off up the street after them but much like the fat kids during my school days, their pace was too much for me. The dust settled out on the streets while the mayhem continued in the arena, my job was done - the Pamplona Bull Run could be crossed off my list. And so, till next time? Before I go, allow me to impart the knowledge that participation in the run can prove a powerful aphrodisiac for certain members of the opposite sex during those few days - indeed “Did you run?” often translates exactly to “Should I fellate you now?”.

As I entered the square where I Mahalo had intended to start, two men had passed out and were being dragged Viscount Mehyam out to either side by the authorities and a third had physically shit All rights rejected, relinquished himself, though he was still run- and vehemently denied. ning. I had just cleared 'Dead Man's Corner' when the thunderous rhythm of the herd became audible above the chaos of the screaming crowd. Running flat out, I turned back and my eyes fell upon the salad bowl that the dreaded corner had now become. Full grown men were tossed left and right like lettuce leaves at the mercy of an over zealous TV chef in a time-trial. An instant later, the pack was upon me and I Meyham at Skint HQ crashed into the human wall on my right just in time to SKINTMAGAZINE.CO.UK 11

A Rough Guide to Retail...

...with Georgie Kahvedjioglou

n September 2008 Cabot Circus shopping centre was opened, revolutionising consumer culture in Bristol, adding most High Street stores, a Multiplex cinema and a stream of cafes and restaurants to our city. With it’s huge domes of glass and spacious make-shift streets, Cabot almost takes the edge off the grey mass of concrete that engulfs the city center. However the best of Bristol’s shopping extends away from the city centre, as much more is offered beyond the grim towers of Cabot. Park Street holds some of the best Independent retailers in the city, including Motel; which has become celebrated in its trend starting prints and eclectic women’s’ wear. BS8, 5050, Cooshti and MyYard are all some of the big names Park Street has to offer. Stokes Croft is home to some of Bristol’s freshest up and coming designers. The studios above the Canteen house an array of local designers including Madidas Harrissa, Puckoo couture and Sew that Jaz, run by designers and dress makers Laura Boyle and Louise Halswell. Starting out on the festival circuit,

ing goodies and cutting-edge desig ns, tucked away just off Park Street. Shop owner Zena and her partn er design and make their own brand (Sev en), but also stock rare brands including; ‘Styli sts Own’ and ‘Only’. Its charm and individuality keeps this shop popular and its customers loyal . Vintage pieces mixed with a contempor ary edge, its own original prints, one- off jewe llery pieces and exclusive trainers. Seven really is a firm representative of Bristol’s’ best and holds the magic of a true independent.

Sew That Jazz have revolutionised Bristol’s’ fashion scene, with their original and bespoke designs. Through word of mouth the brand has become popular for their hand-made wear made out of recycled fabrics, including their notorious Hoods or ‘FUDs’ as they are now known . This area is also known for Dutty Girl, a firm Bristol independent, popular for it’s unique Women and Men’s range. Dutty Girl have recently launched their own pop-up store (also in Stokes Croft), labelled The Gold Mine, stocking an extensive range of wellpriced Vintage wear. The Gold Mine also has an area to wind down and have tea and cake, which makes for a perfect way to shop. The pop-up is set to popdown in October, but rumours of an extension are rife, as the shop has been such a huge success. Cox and Baloney recently moved from their space in the Woolies indoor market to Cheltenham road and has some of the most beautiful vintage clothing Bristol has to offer. Gloucester Road, best known for it’s mass of charity shops and for being the largest independent high street in the UK, has some of the most intriguing shops in Bristol. The most well known of these is RePsycho, a wonderland of vintage and retro fashion for both the sexes. There is even a small cave downstairs full of second-hand records, cassette tapes and cds. This is all just a taste of what’s on offer. There is everything out there, plus that little bit more, so take your pick.

FOALS

MUSIC

s the Foals departed the sweat-soaked stage on their last visit to Bristol’s Academy they left their fanatical audience crestfallen with the news that the much hyped five-piece would be going to ground for a while. But their return to the city, on the back of their excellent second album, Total Life Forever, is sure to provide continuing proof that Foals are finally relaxing into life and owning the moment. After exploding on to the scene proper back in 2008 with their debut ‘Antidotes,’ Foals have had to master the uncomfortable privilege of operating under the banner of being ‘the next big thing’, no mean feat when you’re being compared to legends like Radiohead and the Cure. But with Total Life Forever, the band have located the pumping popheart to their jittery, punk-funk soul and have cemented a sound that’sh unmistakably their own.

On stage, epically fringed frontman Yannis Philippakis possesses a latent energy, woven into the melancholic beauty of his vocal, that explodes forth as the driving beats finally spill over into euphoric choruses which are impossible to resist. Dancably brilliant stuff from a band who retain their intelligent, angsty beginnings.

EVERYTHING EVERYTHING

o be honest, it’s hard to make sense of the falsetto howlings of Everything Everything frontman Jonathan Higgs but then again, I was too busy strutting the floor to their highly distinctive jagged indy-funk to care. Manchester based EE have really taken flight in 2010 with their debut album ‘Man Alive’ garnering flattering tags from all the right critics, with NME describing them as ‘Pop’s new Picassos.’ Certainly their ability to weave a groove that trips and ties but still explores and expands below Higgs’ eccentric delivery is evidence that like Picasso, they are unafraid of experimentation to push things forward. A definite SKINT pick for breakthrough acts of the year, this one should be a classic.

The Boxer Rebellion

The original NYC funksters have been putting down beats meant for dancing since 96 in ‘the eternal quest for the groove.’ The party will orbit their imperious, Berlin-influenced 4th album ‘Strange Weather, isn’t it’.

Glorious reintroduction to the Mercury Prize winning foursome. Their new cosmos inspired album ‘Surfing the Void’ is stunning stuff, the kind of planet surfing pop Muse would be envious of.

The Manchester trio may have been around for a while, but they still give an inspirational performance. Enchanting wordsmith John Bramwell’s lyrics are nestled in the sparse, folky backdrop of their latest album ‘Sky at Night.’

The London based band that have endured a tough upbringing at the hands of the industry but despite the setbacks they’re two albums down and still producing music of quality and complexity.

CRYSTAL CASTLES

rystal castles may have a name that suggests the kind of contradictory fragility of a Bat For Lashes or Jimi Hendrix lyric but they are not to be underestimated. Anyone who witnessed the four to the floor madness of their chaotic festival shows this summer will know that this two piece from Ontario can bring the ruckus. At the front of the stage wailing cacophonously but with an infectious bouncing enthusiasm is the captivating figure of vocalist Alice Glass, who in 2004 proved to be the missing piece in project founder Ethan Kath’s synth and bleep-pop jigsaw. The pair recently released their second album Crystal Castles (II), which has seen their sound smooth slightly from the angular 8-bit beats and raw punk angst of their debut into tunes that punch and slide with a haunting clout. But on stage Crystal Castles have lost none of the fire and brimstone which has made them crowd control’s worst nightmare. Pack your pogo-stick and put your hands in the air. This one is not to be missed.

e’s a founder member of tentatively re-formed garagerock war machine ‘The Libertines’ and the highly regarded (though now defunct) ‘Dirty Pretty Things.’ He’s a club night promoter and most recently an author and actor. Now the supremely talented Carl Barât steps out alone to beguile audiences in a new guise, as a solo artist promoting his highly anticipated new album. He climbs aboard floating gin-palace Thekla, the penultimate stop on his whirlwind October tour with his five-piece band, which sees him mix unreleased material with past classics from riches of ‘The Libertines’ and ‘Dirty Pretty Things’ back catalogues. On Glastonbury’s Leftfield stage, Barât appeared like a Victorian romantic with officer’s jacket and his long hair falling over his right eye and more than held the audience with the upbeat swing of his Morriseyesque new material. But as it was for Julian Cassablancas in his solo outing, it was the inescapable ties to old projects that had brought so many through the door and what they were most excited to hear. An undeniable talent, even without Doherty, that demands to be seen.

Mumford & Sons O2 Academy 06.10.10

O2 Academy 11.10.10

NME lifetime achievers perform a sell out leg of their UK tour promoting 10th studio album ‘Postcards From A Young Man.’ Worth cruising ebay or mugging a tout; it’s sure to be special.

Great pop songs are at the heart of zany Marina Diamantis‘ success as she translates a selection of tracks from her debut album ‘The Family Jewels’ into one of her inimitably theatrical stage shows.

Already sold out but worth raiding your student loan for the extra after smashing it up at Glasto and Reading this summer with a measured mix of new material and trusted Mumford anthems.

If Plan A was to be a grimy, angst-ridden rapper then Forest Gate’s Ben Drew should definitely stick to Plan B. Reinvented as a suave soul crooner, Plan B has scored a number 1 album and commercial domination.

SKINT CLUB nights Motion Launch - in:Motion

hile most of Bristol’s club scene has been frolicking through the fields of the festival circuit or tearing it up in Ibiza, it seems there was no vacation to be had at Motion, who have been flat out working on their autumn game plan. These boys have been piecing together a who’s who of local and national promoters to launch some kind of seemingly phantasmagorical, allconquering, underground music hyperbrand, the likes of which will surely leave the rest of Bristol’s venues incessantly soiling themselves, in both fear and envy. For those new in town, Motion has always had its foot firmly wedged in the nether regions of Bristol’s club scene, hosting huge one-off nights, which effortlessly pack out this 1200 plus venue. A skate park by day, at night this massive complex transforms into a labyrinth of bars and back rooms leading to a huge main arena, which, in recent years has played host to electronic music’s big players. The launch of In:Motion, sees a truck load of Bristol’s big club nights, like Run and Blowpop, come together with dance institutions such as Bugged Out and Ninja Tunes under one corrugated iron roof to throw some frankly colossal parties kicking off with Weapon of Choice on October 1st. But as you’ve probably gathered, there’s more going on here than these pages can cope with, so we’ve managed to pick out a few of October’s highlights.

Simian Mobile Disco

20 SKINTMAGAZINE.CO.UK

Hospitality. High Contrast. 10pm-6am. £16adv.

The first date in your diary is October 2nd, when Hospital records roll in with their legendary club night Hospitality. The label’s hottest property, High Contrast will top the bill, with support from hospital bed-fellows Netsky and Danny Byrd.

Contrast has been hot property on the club circuit since releasing High Society back in 2004. Since then he’s become one of the big names in DnB, releasing mixes for Fabric and Mixmag while scooping Radio 1’s Essential Mix of the year as well as remixing tracks for The White Stripes and Missy Elliot. Netsky seems to be one for the future, with last months single Moving With You earning a remix from Die and Interface, while Danny Byrd needs no introduction. Hospital Records has become synonymous with all that’s good coming out of drum and bass in the last decade and their club nights are no different. They’ve added some muscle to the programme with Fabio and Marky with goes a long way to justifying the price tag.

BUGGED Out. Simian Mobile Disco. 10pm-6am. £14adv If this doesn’t tickle your fancy, then hold tight till next weekend when it’s Bugged Out and Delicatessen’s turn to rattle the rafters. Veterans of the 90’s Mad-chester party scene, Bugged Out was spawned from night club Sankeys Soap, where their Friday nights saw the likes of Daft Punk and Chemical Brothers take the decks. Delicatessen however, is comparatively still a wee baby. Delicatessen is Simian Mobile Disco’s 6-month-old club night project, which would surprise most people if it didn’t mirror the success of the UK duo. Bugged Out has pulled huge crowds all over Europe for a few years now and with SMD’s new venture on board they pretty much guarantee that Saturday 8th October will be no different. Simian Mobile Disco, as well as playing extensively worldwide, have knocked out two quality studio

albums with Beth Ditto and Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip featuring on the latter, Temporary Pleasure. Paul Woolford and Jamie Anderson help make up a distinctly Tech house line-up, in what we hope is the first of many outings from Simian and the Bugged Out boys.

Shit The Bed. Sub Focus LIVE. 9.30pm-6am. £16adv. This next night has become something of an overnight West Country institution. Selling as many t-shirts as tickets, SHIT THE BED are now on their 15th outing and show no signs of slowing down. Too big for former venue Lakota, Blast - aka STB - have relocated at Motion for the foreseeable future and this time round bring Subfocus and Toddla T to the table. These two can boast two of the biggest club records of last year in Sub Focus’ self titled debut and Toddla T’s first offering Skanky Skanky. Sub Focus has been in and around the drum and bass scene since his demo was handed to Ram Records boss Andy C back in 2003. Since then Sub Focus has been performing, collaborating, remixing and finally, in 2009 producing his first studio album. Toddla T – aka Tom Bell - has been a busy boy in the last couple of years. Fresh from a US tour, Tom is already putting the finishing touches on his second studio album. An unlikely product of the Sheffield dancehall scene, Tom played the standout set at this year’s St Paul’s Carnival to a packed crowd at the Malcolm X Centre. This one’s a big night so best tell mum Sunday lunch is going to be a write-off this week.

Presents The Bomb @ Bunker 78 Queens Road TC and Eddie K 1st October 10pm £5adv./motd

ew arrivals on the scene, the Bomb have managed to make Clifton a credible place to party on a Friday. Exploding out from amongst the trendy bars and bistros, the Bomb have been packing out the Bunker’s substantial dance floor since launching last year. Celebrating their first birthday next month, James and Amo have brought big names to the triangle on a regular basis with Joker, Danny Byrd, Plastician and Example all clambering into the booth in the last 12 months. After a low key summer, the Bomb are back and celebrating their first birthday in style with Mumdance, Shadz & Superisk and DJ Derek on the 24th before teaming up with Park Street skate store 50:50 on October 1st to kick off a big month of

Fridays down at the Bunker. The first Friday of the month sees TC return to the Bunker re-branded as @ TCDnB with Hench new boy Eddie K in support. Having played to a packed house back in June, TC obviously liked what he saw and returns from a host of European dates to play another hometown show. TC has fast become one of Bristol’s most sought after DJs, producers and vocalists. With an award winning album already under his belt he’s gone on to remix tunes for Tinie Tempah, Rhianna and Nas as well as collaborating vocally with Pendulum on Hold Your Colour and on the Sub Focus track Follow the Light. Eddie K adds a Dub-Step twist to what we expect to be a more Drum and Bass infused set from TC. DJ Amo will get the

place jumping from the off so its best to get down early to avoid the queue. 10-3am. £5 advance tickets from 50:50, £6 on the door before 11. Coming Up… Look out for more big nights from the Bomb… Two weeks later the Klaxons will be swapping drum sticks for dub plates and will be spinning tunes on the 15th. A fortnight later and DJ Die’s new label Clearskyz will be hosting Dillinja with Rodney P and Skitz, so how about that! In fact we like this night so much, we’ve asked very nicely if we can come down with TC and celebrate the launch of this very magazine! So come check us out, say hi, hang out and get the chance to win bottles of booze for you and your pals!

This Frontier Needs Heroes

FILM GUIDE

15.10.10

THE SOCIAL NETWORK “A n idea is like a virus. Resilient, highly contagious. The smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you.” Okay, so this may be a quote from the wrong film but I think it particularly apt in this case, for it may only be the Dom Cobbs of this world who can plant an idea in the mind, but any old Mark Zuckerberg can steal one. Zuckerberg, for those of you who don’t know is the creator of Facebook, the internet phenomenon which has become the iron lung for the office worker and life support for our dislocated existence, keeping people connected around the globe. But while most of what we habitually upload is mindless rot, the story of Facebook’s legally contested birth back in 2003 is one that is much more beguiling and is the subject of David Fincher’s (Fight Club, Zodiac) new film. Jesse Eisenberg stars as Zuckerberg, a gifted Harvard student who is frustrated by his inability to stand out among the cream of America’s crop. Surrounded by elitism and rejection

RESTREPO

Zuckerberg goes to work, creating a comparison website ranking the relative fuckability of Harvard females based on photos hacked from the student directories (or facebooks). This then attracts the attention of a trio of blue blooded entrepreneurs who enlist his services to construct a website of their own and somewhere out of this pool of ideas the online social network was born and rapidly spread like a virus. If you’re worried that this could amount to little more than watching geeks in basements tapping away at a computer for hours then don’t. Because Fincher is less concerned with facebook’s history than with the timeless effect of power, status and greed on his characters. So as the site takes hits and the money rolls in the film drives on into an immaculate character study. This is a man who would do whatever it takes to stand above the masses and join the elite in a society that said he couldn’t, and of the people he burned along the way.

- 08.10.10

n the wild, untamable corner of Afghanistan known as the Korengal Valley there is a lonely outpost known as Restrepo. In 2008, the 44 young men of 2nd Platoon, Battle Company, 173rd Airborne Brigade arrived to undergo their tour of duty in Afghanistan’s deadliest trench and this was captured in all its human gravity by documentary filmmakers Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger. The result is a stripped down slice of cinema verité, with no narrator to force-feed us what is so evident in the faces and voices of the men stuck in the futile exchange of life in this primeval valley. The outpost itself has since been abandoned, but the film of its one time inhabitants is destined to live long in the mind.

REDS

Due Date

Burke And Hare

Retired Extremely Dangerous? Bruce Willis and a bunch of aging oscar darlings are former assassins forced out of retirement to blow stuff up because the CIA wants them dead. Loud, tongue in cheek fun with plenty of promise.

Innovative and challenging art/documentary about gifted playwright Andrea Dunbar who died aged 29 and her surviving daughter Lorraine. Reflecting on life’s suck into the void of poverty and the passage to understand a mother’s struggle.

Robert Downey Jr plays it straight as the expectant father hitching a ride across the country with chihuahua loving oddball actor Zach Galifianakis to make the birth of his child. ‘The Hangover’ director Todd Phillips marshals the madness.

Edinburgh 1827. Dr. Knox and the medical fraternity are starved of cadavers for study until raggedy resurrectionists Burke (Simon Pegg) and Hare (Andy Serkis) oblige them with fresh-meat from a murder spree. Darkest of dark comedy.

MR NICE T

- 08.10.10

o many Howard Marks is a legend. The simple utterance of his name is like an incantation to the medicinal power of Mother Nature. To hear him speak on his past in his gravelly Welsh lilt inspires youth in the pursuit of adventure and personal freedom and to look into his eyes is to glimpse a complexity that has tasted both triumph and great pain. And yet Marks was no musician, no politician or poet. He was an international drug runner who dealt with the IRA, Mafia, MI6 and Mexican intelligence in a colourful career that saw him travel the globe in order to bring marijuana to the masses. So why do so many hold such a man in great reverence? Director Bernard Rose goes some way to answering that question with Mr. Nice, a Britcom based on the autobiography of the drug trafficker turned raconteur. The film stars Rhys Ifans as Marks from the tee-total days of straight A’s at Oxford to his incarceration at Terre Haute Penitentiary in Indiana. Ifans however, was one of several actors vying for the role in the protracted project as Amber Marks explains: “Hundreds of interested parties contacted dad. Scripts were written, sums of money promised and drunken meetings enjoyed. Possible players included director Oliver Stone, actors Sean Penn, Daniel Day-Lewis and Woody Harrelson, and even writer Hunter S Thompson.” It’s a great shame that Thompson never came on board as for me the two men share in that spirit of subversive freedom realised through recreational drug use and in that rare ability to navigate a complex world with a head full of high grade narcotics. But while the script may not zing, in Ifans they have a star able to communicate Marks’ bumbling charm and educated decency as well as his deep and honest love for the natural high of quality sinsemilla. And maybe it’s this quintessentially British trait which makes him so admirable. He was no Tony Montana, he was Mr. Nice.

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT - 29.10.10

t’s hard being a kid. But it’s not exactly plain sailing being an adult these days either as Lesbian parents Nic (Annette Bening) and Jules (Julianne Moore) discover in Lisa Cholodenko’s excellently observed comic portrait of a contemporary family unit. Having been conceived through a sperm bank, their now teenage children have grown

curious to meet their co-creator. He turns out to be Paul (played with exquisite mischief by Mark Ruffalo) a Harley riding big kid with a greying goatee with whom his offspring and mum number one Jules begin to warm to. But like all cuckoos in the nest his presence upsets the balance of things and threatens to pull the family apart.

Let Me In

Wall Street 2

Charlie St. Cloud

Jackass 3D

Gaudy and wholly unnecessary horror remake of Thomas Alfredson’s note perfect vampyr classic Let The Right One In. Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a bullied child who finds renewed vitality in the company of young bloodsucker Abby (Chloë Moretz). Let me out!

On-screen pastry Shia LaBeouf plays liberalat-heart Manhattan gogetter Jake Moore out for revenge, while original 1987 antichrist Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) tries to go straight and warn the world of impending economic meltdown. Like Douglas, lacking real teeth.

Apple-eyed big brother Charlie (Zac Efron) is off to university but promises little brother Sam that they’ll play baseball together every day until he leaves. Then Sam gets hit by a truck and dies. Charlie hangs out with his brother’s ghost until he ditches him for a bird

Well what can I say? It’s hardly going to push the boundaries of cinema but there is something undeniably entertaining about watching people chainsawed down from trees, bungee rocketed in a portaloo or riding a jetski through the garden hedge.

Gloucester Road Pub Stroll... H

...it’s all down hill from here

as life at the union bar got you feeling a little deflated? Will the next plastic pint of Carling tip you over the edge? Well what better way to waste an autumn’s afternoon, than strolling the streets of Bristol enjoying a swift half or two en route. If you’re unfamiliar with Bristol’s boozers and you can’t wait to ditch your local for somewhere with a little more pizzazz, then here’s two and a half

(down hill) miles of the South-West’s best watering holes for your casual delectation. Now don’t worry, you won’t need a map/compass/Duke of Edinburgh award to negotiate your way through this little lot. And, weather permitting, two feet and shoes will more than suffice as far as transport goes.
