Gig of the Week : Memory Tapes @ The Freebutt Tuesday 9th March
Dayve Hawk aka Memory Tapes has been setting blogs alight with his woozy, sun-dappled dance pop & remixes for fellow indie types such as Yeasayer & pop behemoths Britney Spears & Michael Jackson for the best part of a year now & his debut album “Seek Magic” was one of the unsung highlights of late last year. On Tuesday he will be gracing the stage in Brighton for the very 1st time & it is sure to be a great night out.
Competition Time!
Once again we have not 1 but 2 competions for you this week. First up we have a pair of VIP tickets to give away for Spiritual Element’s 12th Birthday at Concorde on 1st April. The Line up includes Fabio & Grooverider & Ratpack. All you have to do is answer this simple question:
Q: What name do Grooverider’s mum & dad know him by?
Next up we have a pair of VIP tickets to give away for Finley Quaye’s show at Concorde on 4th April. Just answer the following question:
Q: Which other member of the Quaye family was a member of Massive Attack & went on to solo success?
To enter either compilation email us the answer to info@resident-music.com by Monday 12pm with the subject heading either: Spiritual Element or Finley Quaye competition & we will pick a name out of the metaphorical hat. Keep an eye on your Inbox – we’ll inform the winners by email.
Right, tickets. Now it seems these days a week can’t go by without us getting a mountain of new tickets & this week is no different. Here are just a few of the tickets we have received this week: Mr Scruff, Dead Meadow, Johnny Flynn, Vic Godard & Subway Sect, Acid Mothers Temple, Quasi, Scratch Perverts & Crippled Black Phoenix. And that barely scratches the surface. On top of those we should let you know that a number of gigs are selling fast so you shouldn’t sleep on Deerhunter, Health or Son of Dave if you’re thinking of going. We would also like to inform all those going to the Turin Brakes show at Concorde on the 27th of this month that the doors are now 6pm & it will be an early show.

Gig of the Week : Dextro / Lost Idol @ The Albert Monday 1st March
Dextro’s ‘Winded’ album has had much airtime on the Resident stereo since it’s release & it flies off the deck everytime. Much like fellow Scots Boards of Canada, his music is pastoral & melancholic but his blurry landscapes also enter jazzier post-rock terrain. Support comes from Lost Idol (aka Resident James) – another record that flies off the deck everytime we play it. You may have caught his much talked about show supporting Fujiya & Miyagi recently – now his electronic krauty grooves will warm up this top night out.
On the tickets front, this is quite possibly the most mental week we’ve ever had for ticket deliveries so pay attention – here’s just a selection of what we’ve had in the week (you’ll need to check out the link at the top for the full listing) : The Strange Boys (unsurprisingly already selling well), Deerhunter (they never fail to thrill!), The Unthanks (this’ll be special in the church), Doll & The Kicks (gig’s this week!), Health (hell yeah!), Tim Hecker (down the front, sitting on the floor, gazing up in wonderment – that’ll be me!), Kate Nash (virtually all gone already), Johann Johannsson with a string quartet (tiny gig – don’t miss out), Joy Orbison, Caspa, Primary 1, Electric Six, Damon & Naomi, Neil Cowley Trio, Tenebrous Liar, Thomas Truax, Wolves In The Throneroom, Wolf Eyes, Secret Affair, Everything Everything / Lyrebirds, Royal Bangs, Doctors Orders & oh so many more are now on sale. Remember, you can book tickets by phone if you can’t make it into the shop – some of these shows will sell out very quickly so don’t miss out. You can either collect them from here at a later date or from the venue on the night (in most cases). Simples!

Gig of the Week : Oumou Sangare / Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou / Kalahari Surfers – Friday 19th Feb @ The Dome
We’re very excited about this one! Oumou Sangare has a formidable live reputation & is considered one of the jewels of Malian music but really for us it’s all about Poly-Rythmo. This is their 1st tour of the uk & it comes only 45 years after they formed. They tore up the Barbican in September last year & we’re sure they’ll do it again on Friday. Voodoo afro funk with few, if any, equals.
Tickets wise we have had the usual wheelbarrowful of arrivals including those for a gig to benefit the Haiti Earthquake Appeal which has a juicy local line-up including Fujiya & Miyagi, Los Albertos, Transformer & Midfield General. We have also had tickets for The Fall, Phenomenal Handclap Band, Vitalic, Hayseed Dixie, Femi Kuti, Coco Rosie, Devotion, the new saviour of Hip Hop, Erykah Badu’s boyfriend Jay Electronica & plenty more besides. Silver Mount Zion tickets continue to fly out as do a whole bunch of others, so remember not to hang about if you really want to go to a show. The full tickets listing is on the link below.

Gig of the Week : MEN (ex-Le Tigre) @ Freebutt – Saturday 16th January (www.myspace.com/men)
Pulling together some of the best feminist talent in dance music today, including JD Samson of Le Tigre, Ginger Brooks Takahashi & Michael O’Neill (not forgetting Le Tigre’s Johanna Fateman who works behind the scenes as a writer & producer for the collective), the Brooklyn based outfit have earned themselves a ferocious live reputation during recent support slots with the Gossip & Peaches. Their incessant dance rhythms & synth driven beats deliver disco house that will have everyone dancing their socks off.
Tickets-wise…….the promoters are back from their Xmas break & as such, we’ve had a heap of deliveries this week with tickets now on sale from : Mount Eerie, Micachu / Speech Debelle / The Invisible, Upset! The Rhythm night featuring Bird Names, The Sticks, Trash Kit & Cold Pumas (it’s this week so be quick!), Super Dub Pressure early birds, Shackleton, Good Shoes, Erol Alkan, Thomas White, Leisure Society / Sons of Noel & Adrian, African Soul Rebels Tour featuring Oumou Sangare & Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo (many of us Residents will definitely be checking out this afro-extravaganza), Plugs, So So Modern, Gift of Gab, Dj Yoda & too many more to list here, so check out the listing from the link below for a full run down of what’s on sale at the mo. Remember that we can take bookings over the phone if you’re not fancying facing the blizzards.
Also well worth a mention if you’re venturing out in your snow-boots this week is the Gary War / Cold Pumas / Colours gig at the Cowley Club on Monday 11th. There are no advance tickets but this’ll be a busy one, so get there early. Doors 8pm. Entry £5. Also, Resident Liv will be playing out this week at her Eagle Legs night at the Penthouse (above the Freebutt) during / after the MEN show so if you fancy a bit of Riot Grrrl / Soul / Indie ear candy, get yerself along there on Saturday 8pm-1am, especially as JD Samson (ex-Le Tigre) is rumoured to be spinning some tunes later on. Finally, there’s a new night for all you dubstep heads starting at Life (previously Arc) this week : Aka Aka Roar (www.myspace.com/akaakaroarbrighton) is launched this Monday (11th) with a 2 hour set from Applebim & runs every Monday night thereafter, 11pm – 3am.
