FAREWELL LEAS GIG FOR BATTLESKA GALACTICA

BATTLESKA GALACTICA play their farwell gig at the Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone on Saturday September 6th which also doubles up as a CD release party!

The "That Is Really All" show also features LOS SALVADORES, TAR and TWICE THE SIZE.

Energetic skacore act BATTLESKA GALACTICA have been one of the most popular Folkestone bands of the decade and previously released two albums: "Will Skank For Cash" (recorded at The Forum in Tunbridge Wells in 2002) and 2005's "Songs From The Crypt".

Once famously described as "the only band to operate a rotation system", there could well be one or two guest appearances from previous members on the night. The band will also be selling copies of their new six-track "If Found Please Return To..." cd at the gig, priced just £3.

Maidstone-based LOS SALVADORES are a deranged experimental punk band with several festival dates amassed this summer. Formed in 2004, and signed up to Corndog Records in 2007, the band’s debut album "Attack of the Clones" was released in February and, supported by a national tour, has so far sold close to 1,000 copies through HMV and other high street shops.

Blending blast beats with banjos, the energetic six-piece gigs extensively across the UK and is currently working on a new release at Out House Studios in Reading, where Enter Shikari recorded their gold-selling album.

Ska punk band TAR supported BATTLESKA GALACTICA on their last highly successful gig at the Leas with Jesse James back in May 2006 and always supported Jester and More than Normal at the Leas in January 2005.

TWICE THE SIZE are seven booze-fuelled maniacs comin' straight outta Brighton. They are an infectiously riotous bunch of merry-makers who deliver their own brand of party ska.

Tickets, priced £7 in advance or £8 on the door, are available from the Box Office on 01303 228600.

Folkestone history from "manky badger"

It's not me, I am not the manky badger, but I found this blog talking about a trip to Folkestone, and how Folkestone had changed...

We lived in Folkestone from September 1984 to April 1986, so I consider myself something of an expert on all things Folkestonian. It has to be said that the place has changed somewhat in the intervening twenty one years. The wonderful aquarium shops are gone, as is “Eureka” – the place which sold absolutely everything really cheaply. HMV is no longer in the basement of Debenhams, and WH Smith’s has lost its top floor. The Rotunda and the scenic railway are gone. In fact there’s not a lot left apart from Chambers bar and the ice cream shop.

Ya ya YAAAH!

I don't know about you, but I like it RAAWWWWW! Win a cool bag.

Got a cool prize to give away this week, it's going to go to best trader, which is the person who is number one in the charts NEXT Friday.



It's a Busta Rhymes backpack, and it's black and it's one of those one strapped courier bags.



I think it's been sent to promote "Turn it up", which is the Busta Rhymes Greatest Hits package, which they also sent. So I'll throw that in too. It's got "Turn It Up" and "Woo Hah" and the one with the music from Knight Rider, and all of them.



If you're not confident you will win, then you can buy it from HMV here or from Amazon here...



I will dig out another CD for this week's winner.
