Ah July... the glorious English summer is in full swing, the
shires resound to the thud of leather on willow and in South West
London the sound of polite queuing and strawberry munching is
punctuated only by the grunt of white clad cavewomen. Meanwhile in
Camden, another more recent tradition is being observed as the
thermostat bubbles up from hot to sizzling and Be unveil another
month of cutting edge bands and DJs.
Playing live this month are the some of the most exciting new
bands around including the likes of Canadian-via-Bristol
synth-poppers Fitness Club Fiasco, hotly tipped Dansette Junior,
psychedelic visionaries Sunbirds and new pop sensations :Kinema:,
whilst host and ringmaster David H is joined on the decks by the
likes of Mercury nominated The Invisible, Manchester's hottest
electro act The Whip, and Fabric resident Stopmakingme.
Now in its third year Be at Proud redefined London's club scene
with its unique mix of indie, disco, electro and rock n' roll,
spectacular live acts, performance art and burlesque. From Mystery
Jets to Friendly Fires, Au Revoir Simone to Ebony Bones, Be has
showcased many of the most exciting new bands around today, and
seen the likes of New Young Pony Club, Annie, Munk, Disco Bloodbath
and Rory Phillips all take turns on the decks.

:KINEMA:
Thrown together across an epic European road trip during the summer
of 2007 Dom Ashton, Andy Nelson and Ross Flight discovered their
shared love for music, laptops and famous actresses. :kinema: have
developed their sound over the last 18 months, combining elements
of Yacht Rock, Soul and Contemporary Pop and Dance music into
something sounding like Off The Wall-era Michael Jackson being
re-imagined by a 21st Century Indie band.

2 HOT 2 SWEAT
2 Hot 2 Sweat formed when Matt Leuw and Mia Lane decided to put the
sometimes disturbing contents of their brains to music. Debut
single Your Space Or Mine was released on NROne Records, followed
by Half Assed Rom Com - a dancefloor filler musing on the dismal
dating scene. The latter coincided with the band's performance as
part of the Electric Proms, at a tribute night celebrating the life
of the legendary John Peel. They won support and airplay from Radio
1's Huw Stephens, 6Music's Tom Robinson, XFM's John Kennedy and a
host of other DJs. They recorded a session for Marc Riley, were
featured in Artrocker and played with a host of amazing bands
including the Duke Spirit, Bearsuit, Rolo Tomassi, So So Modern,
Golden Silvers, Micachu & The Shapes, The Invisible, Django
Django and Kids Love Lies. In 2009, they played Latitude Festival
and are now throwing themselves headfirst into 2010.
