The next Soup Kitchen night takes place on Saturday August 4th 2007 playing the best in indie pop and alternative rock.It will be a girl (fronted) band special from the 1960's to the present day! From the Ronnettes to the Pipettes, Girls At Our Best to Shop Assistants, Raincoats to the All American Summer Fun Band, Talulah Gosh to Tender Trap, Shangri-Las to The Schla La Las we hope to cover as much in as we can! And if you want to make a request we will see what we can do!
Alongside the regular dj's (Bola, Trev, Nat Lady) will be our guests who are Rowena (Santa Dog) and Chimes (Penelope Tree/Ten Year Plan). It's free entry and takes place downstairs at Latin Square, 43-45 Farringdon Road, EC1M 3JB. It's near Farringdon station which is served by both the Underground and Thameslink.
Hope to see you there!
It will also be someone's *cough* 40th *cough* birthday.
We also have a facebook and My Space pages.
EDIT: Coincidentally the Observer's music monthly has compiled the Top 10 Classic Girl Groups today. Not sure I will play 10 to 8 at the next Soup Kitchen night! The related Observer blog thread is here.
Yay for girl-fronted pop bands! Wish I could go! Actually, I have been thinking of making a mix CD (well, a mp3-mix, probably) of girl bands from the 1960s to the 2000s, featuring most of the bands you already mention. :)
What? No Crystals in the Observer list??? Ts ts.
More worryingly, I found, was that were no Chiffons, no Candy & the Kisses, no Dolly Mixture, no Marine Girls and no Bangles.
