This June at Durrr

This June at Durrr is looking HUGE!
2nd:

LADYHAWKE (LIVE)

Club favourite Ladyhawke comes down to play live for us tonight! New Zealand’s one woman power ballad revivalist will be knocking out the power chords and encouraging mulleted, Harley straddling, soft focused rocking! Think Stevie Nicks, Heart and 80’s Bowie….

MIDFIELD GENERAL (DJ SET)

General Of The Midfield, Skint records head honcho and all round lovely man Damian Harris (aka Midfield General, duh) will be hitting the decks tonight! With fantastic new album ‘General Disarray’ in Ye Recorde Shoppes now, you’ve probably danced like a grinning monkey to the fantastic ‘Disco Siren’ at some point over the last couple of months - come hear the man lay down one of his infamous party spectaculars!

9th:

WHITE WILLIAMS (LIVE)

White Williams have a sound that echoes all the best in 80’s pop and combines that with a tick tock club sensibility that places them in roughly the same area as a cross between Whitey, Metronomy and LCD Soundsystem. Led by Joe Williams, tonight they grace our stage and play highlights from their debut album ‘Smoke’.

16th:

ESSER (LIVE)

Nascent pop genius Ben Esser has already made one of the summer’s catchiest tunes in the shape of ‘I Love You’ and has an album on the way. Instantly catchy, loveable and joyous expect to be wowed by this charming young man and his band’s excellent vein of indie pop wonders!

PURE GROOVE (DJS)

One of London’s foremost record shops, tonight the Pure Groove team take over the Live room to bring you a set packed to the gills with the latest and greatest new sounds!

JDH & DAVE P (DJ SET)

Guests of ours earlier in the year, JDH & Dave P return to the decks tonight for another installment of beat based fun. Two of American clubbing’s leading lights, they put on the Fixed parties in NYC and Dave curates Philadelphia’s excellent Makin Time night. Expect to hear a cool selection of records that our trans-atlantic cousins are grooving to !

23rd:

WHITEY (LIVE)

Underground legend Whitey hits the stage for a rare London club appearance tonight in anticipation of new album ‘Stay On The Outside’, which will be with us later in the year. Always special and never dull, make sure you don’t miss this one!

VIDEO HIPPOS (LIVE)

Baltimore’s Video Hippos make lo-fi indie gems, reminiscent of Sonic Youth, Animal Collective and shoegazy things like MBV, only with more drum machines and casio bothering. They also have a song with the exellent title ‘Piss Traction’, which makes us giggle. Check out their myspace for a couple of downloadables….

EROL ALKAN (DJ SET)

Erol joins us once more for what is sure to be another fine display of L’Arte de Dee Jay. Fresh from producing LOTP’s debut album, and about to head off into festival land, catch what will be one of his few club gigs of the summer. If you don’t know how good he is at what he does by now, you’re an idiot. Come and join us as we annoy grammarians by using the word ‘party’ as a verb….

30th:

PNAU (LIVE)

Aussie chart botherers PNAU are well known down under for providing ears with super sexy sampled-up dance wonderment. Recent single ‘Baby’ has been turning heads all over the place, so come down and see just what these guys are doing so well that everyone wants a piece of them!

A TRAK (DJ SET)

Canadian Hip Hop wunderkind A Trak is a turntable legend. The youngest ever DMC World DJ Champion (at 15), he runs the Fool’s Gold label, has worked closely with Kanye West on various things and ran the Audio Research label with his brother (the one with the ‘tache in Chromeo). He’s recently remixed Bonde De Role, Architecture In Helsinki and Digitalism amongst many others. You won’t get many chances to see him in the UK outside of a festival tent, so don’t miss!
