Rebellious Creative Presents... Friday 20th April, Marble Factory, Bristol 7pm - 10pm --------------------------------------------------- After their sold out show in October, Slamboree are back in their home town of Bristol for a special one off extravaganza. Joining them for the night will be Dutty Moonshine! Tickets: £14 Available from http://bit.ly/Marble20April --------------------------------------------------- Slamboree (Full Live Show) Slamboree are one of a kind ensemble. The idea was hatched in the deepest darkest crevices of multi-award winning producer Mike Freear’s mind after working closely with vocal powerhouse and linguistic snake charmer Kathika Rabbit and guided by the tantalising visuals of theatrical artistic director Lizzie West. Slamboree is a collective of multi-skilled, revolutionary performers and musicians that put energy, passion and pure insanity into their unique and extravagant immersive stage experiences. --------------------------------------------------- Dutty Moonshine (Quartet) The Dutty Moonshine Quartet is made of the core 4 members of the Dutty Moonshine Big Band. An act paving their way to the top of popular culture with their narrative driven songs and self titled genre “Big Band and Bass”. The Quartet show is a hard hitting, bass driven, mad antics show. Taking the DJ/MC combo to the edges of mayhem. --------------------------------------------------- AFTER PARTY - Follow us into the night...more news soon.

A Certain Ratio In London 21.04.18

Dictionary Pudding proudly present... A Certain Ratio GENERAL SALE / FRI 24TH NOV FROM: http://www.seetickets.com/event/a-certain-ratio/the-garage/1178642 Dictionary Pudding are delighted to announce a very rare show from A Certain Ratio. Arguably the cream of the crop of first-wave Factory Records artists, the ACR back-catalogue is now finding fresh life as part of a comprehensive and remastered reissue series on Mute Records. A Certain Ratio embraced the ethic and culture of the late seventies post-punk explosion, but sounded like nothing else around them and refused to fit in. Formed in 1978, the band had various members throughout their career, and a core line-up of Jeremy Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson. Hailed universally as pioneers of what became known as punk funk thanks to the success of Shack Up on both sides of the Atlantic, their sound is not easily pigeon holed and their influence can never be understated. The band introduced the avant-garde elements of funk, jazz, electronics, tape loops and technology to the pop song, wrapping it in a post punk aesthetic, adding great clothes and the coolest haircuts. They have gone on to influence generations of musicians - from Talking Heads, LCD Soundsystem, Happy Mondays, Franz Ferdinand, ESG, Factory Floor and Andrew Weatherall. The Guardians Dave Simpson paid tribute to the band, once described as James Brown on acid in a recent Cult Heroes piece: Once you start listening to A Certain Ratio, its difficult to stop. https://youtu.be/TsJ_54WyZ48 plus Support TBA The Garage, LONDON / SAT 21st APRIL 2018 22.50 adv from http://www.seetickets.com/event/a-certain-ratio/the-garage/1178642 Presented by Dictionary Pudding Promotions MAILING LIST SIGNUP: http://bit.ly/29N0JCY
