The WIAIWYA / Fortuna Pop Christmas Party

Dec12

Pictures

A lovely party and top xmas album... it's something to do this Friday!

Almost guaranteed more star studded than the première of "Ali", and the smash hits christmas party combined...

Friday 14th December
The Bull and Gate, Kentish Town, in that London.
Admission £5. Doors 7:30 pm - late
Plus mince pies, party paraphernalia, and DJ Paul from that Track and Field spinning Christmas hits past and present, and maybe even future

STARRING:

THE LOVES' live show is a full on rock 'n roll assault, with occasional drunken outbursts, a heady mix of 70s new wave stomp mashed with the Phil Spector wall of sound. John Peel loves them and, having already recorded two Peel sessions this year, they are also scheduled to play at Peel Acres on Valentine's Day 2002.

THE WOUND-BE-GOODS. The return of the legendary el records popstars with their beguiling, sophisticated pop. Now featuring Pete Momtchiloff (Tallulah Gosh, Heavenly, Marine Research) on guitar. New album 'Brief Lives' out on Fortuna POP! in 2002.

Plus Special Guest DARREN HANLON, he's Australian, you know, and we've flown him in from Sweden especially...

Also... wiaiwya has joined up with our American friends once more to bring you "50,000,000 elves fans can't be wrong", a transatlantic pop christmas, available in the uk by mail order only (£10 (incl p+p and a free poster) payable to wiaiwya, from 1 bankside, 10 brock lane, maidenhead, berkshire, sl6 1lp, uk... order early to avoid disappointment, etc etc etc)... it
includes all of the delights below, only in song form:

- menswear endowment "the loneliest snowman"
(along the lines of the lilac time, at closing time)
- seks bomba "double-o santa"
(pun-laden loungecore in a Bacharach stylee)
- mj hibbett and the validators "give us a kiss (for Christmas)"
(blustering charm laden sing along from Leicester's leonard cohen
antithesis)
- nixon "anorak christmas"
(cute swedish synth-pop-indie that'll have you spinning like a helicopter)
- the Rory McBrides "(we like) eggnog!"
(JTQ meets "tequila" from our england obsessed american cousins)
- Sool "spicing the christmas cake"
(1 minute 3 seconds of Bavarian waltz-time-bliss)
- the pines "chalet"
(gorgeous female fronted folk pop acoustica that actually smells of
snowflakes)
- velodrome 2000 "christmas sucks"
(joey ramone, pete Shelley, Joan jett and stephen pastel couldn't have done
better)
- the waistcoats "(i wish you could be more like) santa Claus"
(a sentiment we all agree on, and expressed as only a Dutch garage (as in
garage) group can)
- weevil "Coventry carol"
(like monks with a vocoder singing garage (as in UK))
- the professor "thank you"
(the professor thanks, among others, tuna belt... with words)
- the weisstronauts "silent night"
(yeah, right... like you can't guess... it rocks)
