I've got a new night I'm starting up. It's called The Dead Billy Club and the first one will feature four bands.

It's happening at The Good Ship in Kilburn on 26th March. Advance tickets will be £4 (WeGotTickets link coming soon) and £5 on the door.

The reason for the new night is simple. This is more about guitars and noise and less about pop. This will be for fans of Big Black, Butthole Surfers, Minutemen, bIG fLAME, 'Sister' era Sonic Youth, Guitar Wolf and other noise bands. The website and myspace explains the idea:

*Ok. This is something new. The Dead Billy Club. The idea is simple - it's to be a band night. But not any old bands. This will be about abrasive guitars, mechanical rythyms, walls of noise and electronic sounds. This is a place for the things that don't quite fit anywhere else. A refuge for the things I can not place in my other nights around London. A place to address the balance. Bands that Dead Billy like and are likely to play are as follows:

Big Black. 70 Gwen Party. Prolapse. Terminal Cheesecake. The Monks. Dawson. Sonic Youth. Splintered. The Real Losers. Minutemen. Subway Sect. Black Flag. Loop. AC Temple. Fire Engines. Flying Saucer Attack. The Cramps. Radio Birdman. Head of David. Datblygu. Scratch Acid. A.R. Kane. Bongwater. Dr. Mix and the Remix. Jesus Licks. The Saints. Bardo Pond. Big Flame. Wire. Spacemen 3. Clinic. Six By Seven. Billy Childish. 1000 Home DJs. The Fall. Kraftwerk. Oblivians. Guitar Wolf. Xinlisupreme. Butthole Surfers. The Telescopes. Motorhead.

There are no hard rules. There are no fast rules. It will take the shape I want to give it. The first night is set to happen on 26th March 2008 at The Good Ship in Kilburn.*

And here is a little bit about each of the bands that are playing the first night.

"Think Biffy Clyro only without the cheese, think iLiKETRAiNS but without the holding back, think Shellac but with more effects pedals, think "this is bloody great" and then go and see them live and be blown away all over again." GodIsInTheTVZine.co.uk

Scul Hazzards http://www.myspace.com/sculhazzards
"A three piece from Australia. Focused, raw and almost nostalgic and they could be homage freaks! (think the best of Steve Albini). Scul Hazzards are one of those edgy jagged pointy rusty-edged violently noisy, relentlessly dense, good, low end staccato bands that violently jab (and jab and jab) at you." - The Organ

Jesus Knives http://www.myspace.com/jesusknives
"London based feedbackprogressivepostrockaggressivehardcore alternaterocknoise. 2 Northern 1 Southern, shouting, not shouting, rhythmic, even more rhythmic, instrumental, semi-instrumental, homemade recordings. Put together from the remains of other noisy bands." Their My Space page

Sky Comes King http://www.myspace.com/skycomesking
A storm of crunchy guitars that see fit to combine the post rock leanings of Mogwai/Godspeed! with a more traditional rock sound.
