Dixon Brothers DJ

2 brothers, 4 hands, 1 big ol' bag of tricks!

Week in - week out the Dixon Brothers set light to the best house party you've ever been to!!

From Dizzee Rascal to Lynryd Skynard to Shy FX - it officially happens right here on Friday nights

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwukBNqaemI

The evenings will be a move away from indie and the music will contain elements of folk, electro and pop providing the soundtrack to the night.

The venue will be subject to full decorations; anticipate a dark circus theme, with a gypsy caravan, flame throwers, a carousel seating area, intriguing performers, hanging lanterns, psychedelic and beguiling dancers- all led by our own motley crew of ring-masters.

In the South Gallery there will be a compelling mixture of electro-fuelled party anthems from All Night Long DJ's Ben & Gaz playing the best tracks of yester-year to keep everyone on the dance floor. Think big hair and big hits spanning the last four decades from the likes of Madonna, Starship, Kenny Loggins to name but a few!

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.

THE BOOK CLUB // KITES // ERIC NESS // INVASION OF... - 03 August 2010 to 04 August 2010

www.proudcamden.com — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:27:38 GMT

I(HEART) MUSIC PROMOTIONS...Present: I(HEART)..LIVE!

Tuesday 3rd August, Proud Camden
...
THE BOOK CLUB // KITES // ERIC NESS // INVASION OF...

Cult South London night, I (Heart), return to the legendary Proud Camden with a rare line-up of alumni from some of Britain's biggest indie bands

On Tuesday 3rd August, Proud Camden's revamped stables will host the exclusive showcase of new projects from The Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things and Milburn. For one night only, I (Heart) will give music-lovers and fans of indie behemoths the chance to get up-close-and-personal with some of their hero's with the highly anticipated debut of their new bands The Invasion Of and The Book Club.

Having already earned an envious reputation in the music industry as an ex-Libertine and Dirty Pretty Thing, Gary Powell continues his musical triumph with a performance at Proud Camden. Powell's time in the industry has earned him a string of titles including Best New Band from NME and MTV2 with Dirty Pretty Things, and a wealth of critical approval and notoriority from his time in The Libertines as Pete Doherty's right-hand-man - not to mention supporting everyone from The Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Pet Shop Boys. Born out of the demise of Dirty Pretty Things, Powell's new 5-piece band The Invasion Of will kick the evening off with their eclectic mix of rock n' roll. Fans of Powell's former bands will not be disappointed with what promises to be a spectacular debut.

Continuing this impressive start is Camden-based Musician Eric Ness. Brilliantly fusing glam jazz, pop, and swing the Norwegian born singer/songwriter and his 7-piece band are well-known for whipping crowds into a dancing frenzy. His live shows are somewhat of a spectacle, including wildly sexy back-up singers - one who alternates between playing flute and belting out riffs, and a plethora of instruments from double bass to mandolins. Expect hints of jazz, swing, and big band from this unusual act.

Joining the mix is a band described as bridging the gap between Joy Division and Donna Summer - The Kites.

Headlining this spectacular night are indie new kids on the block The Book Club, founded by Joe Carnall of infamous Sheffield indie rock band Milburn. Carnall's success includes touring with big brothers The Arctic Monkeys and signing an exclusive deal with Mercury Records. After taking time away from Milburn, Carnall has kept it in the family and gathered his cousins to produce what has fast become a popular beat combo. Carnall fans can expect to hear the familiar voice and melody from his Millburn days but with a new edge.

To top off this rare line-up of live acts with floor-filling DJ sets is the hugely entertaining I (Heart) and Don't Wait Animate DJ's.

Following recently completed refurbishment, the Proud venue itself is now even more fitting for I (Heart)'s new night. Contrasting sharply to Proud's previous look, the South gallery, main gig room, stables area and brand new terraced café have undergone extreme renovation and redesign to dramatically change the Proud Camden experience. With guests such as Amy Winehouse, Jarvis Cocker and Mumford & Sons adorning the new venue earlier this month, I (Heart)'s new night promises to add even more music VIP names to the new Proud
Camden.

LINE UP IS AS FOLLOWS

THE CHAMPMAN FAMILY
The Chapman Family are an alternative indie-rock band from the north east of England who merge intensity with chaos encouraging comparisons with Joy Division and Sonic Youth. They aim to provide a distortion fuelled antidote in a musical climate big on apathy and lacking in integrity. They are dark and noisy and according to the NME in the UK make "music to change your life, if you're that way inclined."

http://www.myspace.com/thechapmanfamily

HOT CLUB DE PARIS
Hot Club de Paris went on a rampage; they shot up the border guards, hijacked a horse and cart and galloped down the fault line leaving the peasants on the dirt road confused and breathless. They took their shirts off and shrugged in the silence of brand new bloodshed. They danced cheek to cheek with all the pretty girls of the day. They were gentlemen; aloof and serious, camp and devious. They swung for Judas on the red carpet at the awards ceremony. The paparazzi blinded the bystanders with their flash bulbs, whilst Hot Club de Paris slipped into the darknes of the city leaving someone else to figure out the whole contextual mess.

STARMAN is a UK based pop band which brings colour and fun to your ears! Consisting of 5 talented musicians Andrew Stone (lead singer), Luka Cadez (Drummer), Jesus Ruiz (Guitarist), Mickey Cowdroy, (Bassist) and Craig Custance (Keyboard) all of which are from different ethnic backgrounds and even countries, this band will certainly bring a smile to your face! It stands without question that Starman is definitely the one to watch out for in 2010.

With infectious melodies, catchy hooks and high energy this is one band you don't want to miss! The band was formed in June 2009 by lead singer and dance teacher from Pineapple Andrew Stone and 21 year old music entrepreneur Robert Davies, director of Click Records Entertainment.

Starman have been catapulted to fame on Sky1's smash hit documentary series "Pineapple Dance Studios" which currently draws in over 1.5 million viewers a week.
Starry-eyed fans have watched the band's epic battle to break into the music and entertainment industry on the cult show - they are also doing the same thing in real life.

Led by the charismatic and sometimes controversial front man Andrew Stone, a successful dance teacher at Pineapple, the band are poised to hit the big time with gigs all over the country this summer including: T4 on the Beach, and Party in the Park, and more!
