We are super excited to be able to invite you to The Monitors’ debut social. Taking place on February 20th at Power Lunches, two bands, one shanty group and our dodgy mixing will be seeing the weekend in with a bang.
Located in between Haggerston and Dalston, Power Lunches is one of our favourite small venues and has recently hosted the likes of Joanna Gruesome and Bunki. Our event will see Brighton’s latest hopefuls Our Girl headline. Having already had the thumbs up from Lauren Laverne (and our own Amadeep Chana), and packed out venues across the capital and in Brighton over the past month, this will be a busy one…
Supporting will be Brazil, another three-piece who piqued interest early last year with their debut track ‘Hide Away’, before disappearing for a couple of member realignments and to write a fresh fresh set of tunes. The first of those was premièred by NME this week, and we expect to see them between those pages many more times hover the next few years…
The City Shanty Band will also be performing their idiosyncratic inner-city take on sea shanties in the interlude, which has to be seen to be believed, before the Monitors DJ team get behind the decks until 2am. No requests. Even if the request is just “please stop.”
The whole thing will be kicking off around 8:30pm, and you can RSVP your attendance on the event page over here on Facebook. You don’t get anything extra by doing so, but it’ll make us feel popular.
You don’t need any extras anyway, as entrance is FREE ALL NIGHT. However, we’ll be taking donations on behalf of the life-saving charity CALM all night, so please do bring a handful of change to chuck into the hat. Also, it’s Monitors ass. ed. (heh heh, ass head…) Nicholas Burman’s last big night in London before he moves to Barcelona, so feel free to bring him a leaving gift. Some sun cream might come in useful, the poor lad does burn easily…
