Brixton Academy Friday Oct 31st

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.

Some notes: It wasnt Lenny Penne, it was Bamboo with Lenny Penne "vision" lyrics. Karl played guitar over Banstyle. Massive balloons were released during NUXX. I mean MASSIVE. They didnt play ALAF. They played Peach Tree, and Glam Bucket. So the correct tracklist is:

1. crocodile
2. spoonman
3. moaner
4. dirty epic
5. beautiful burnout
6. peach tree
7. strumpet
8. two months off
9. you do scribble
10. glam bucket
11. banstyle
12. push upstairs
13. born slippy .nuxx
14. cowgirl
15. bamboo (with lenny penne lyrics)
16. jumbo

I thought i heard some 'to heal' chords but that might have just been the start of beautiful burnout... anyone else?

As for bamboo, yeah i agree, like the webcast version, but with more squelchy bits. And I was moaning to the misses about a lack of underworld mash ups only just recently, so pleased to hear that

you did hear To Heal @BB. There was no Darren last night (maybe he was sick? he was at Brighton last week) and Rick was _very_ busy so I dont think he had time for jams! it was a more song based set with stops/starts but it was still a great set. very smooth.
