Brixton Academy Friday Oct 31st

[philth]

I heard that UW would be off by midnight both nights, although I can't remember where.

I was thinking of going to the Black Rabbit 2nd birthday party with Jon Carter, Justin Robertson and Guy Williams afterwards, even though it is miles away and over at 3. But if UW are off by 12 I might make it for a couple of hours of fun.

Sorry matey boy.. but you heard wrong. Performance times are now up on http://www.brixton-academy.co.uk/

UW aren't due on until 11.30pm! Looks like it's gonna be a full 2 hour set though.. marvellous!

[philth]

Aha! That's that plan out the window. It starts at 8pm though, so maybe I'll go there first. Or is there going to be a Dirty meet before the show?

I'm off to London now, not sure when/if I'll be able to check this topic the next days. So, what about doing a little meeting before the gig? As previously mentioned in this topic, The Dogstar is probably the right location. (not too far away, and they've got food ). Meet you guys there, at 7pm?

(if you see a (tall) girl with black (white stripes) Adidas Superstars, say Hi! )

Meetup pubs: http://www.urban75.org/brixton/bars/index.html

The Beehive and The Prince Albert sound ok.

THE BEEHIVE 407 Brixton Rd SW9
Garishly lit Wetherspoons pub with hyperactive ashtray cleaners, security cameras tracking your every sip and hideous fake decor - but it's mighty cheap with decent food, a mixed crowd and late licence.
phone 020 7738 3643

PRINCE ALBERT 418 Coldharbour La SW9
Unquestionably, the finest pub in Brixton! Attracting a mixed and very friendly crowd, the Albert enjoys a fierce loyalty from its patrons who enjoy the cheap beer, extended hours, extremely eclectic music selection and the legacy of its legendary landlady, Pat Burke (who sadly passed away in May, 2002). Located next door to the 414 Club, this is the best place for a pre-club drink or just a pub night out. We recommend it. Look out for their poetry slamdowns, excellent quiz nights and, fo course, our massive free live music nights.

DOGSTAR 389 Coldharbour Lane, SW9PHOTO
(Formerly The Atlantic). After an excruciating period where it became the downmarket joint of choice for prowling, pill-popping, lager lads on the pull, a change of management in 2005 briefly transformed the pub into an up and coming venue. It then rapidly slid downhill again, but another refit (early 2007) saw the interior turning into some sort of boudoir which seems to have improved things considerably although this landmark pub continues to fall far short of its potential. (The Dogstar was home to our monthly FREE DJ/Multimedia/Cabaret night, Offline until we moved to the superior JAMM venue.)
Admission is free weekdays (open till 2am) although it costs on weekends (4am close). Expect a thorough but friendly frisking on your way on.

The Beehive is only good for one thing - a cheeky cheap vodka redbull before heading to the Academy. Otherwise it is full of Brixton chavs and dodgy old men!!
There is a good pub/bar that does good food just around the corner on Brixton Staion Road called the Hive... it is quite small though.
Prince Albert is ok for a drink, but I still say the Dogstar is the best, with no attitude or trouble, especially pre-gig.

That's a short set.

Sounds like a very nice show. Can't wait to hear it.

Edit: Actually, I would kill to see a show like that. There are 8 songs in that list that I haven't seen live.
