LFC does RoTa - Saturday 30th January



On Saturday 30 January, Laissez Faire Club will once again be showcasing its favourite acts at Rough Trade Shops' RoTa at Notting Hill Arts Club. This weekly free afternoon event has been running for seven years now, and each time invites a label / fanzine / club night down to book the talent.

LFC has been invited back after a handful of well-received soirees over the last couple of years, and gracing the stage on this occasion are Tooting based indie pop maestros and LFC favourites Right Turn Left, Brighton's fiercest blues revivalists Ice Black Birds and newcomers The Jacquerie - who impressed so much at the LFC vs On The Bus show at Power's Bar in Kilburn last month I felt obliged to ask them back to do it all again.

I'll be flying the LFC flag from the decks, and Sam from Ice Black Birds will be putting the P into Party after the bands with his current electro set...

Here's what the folks at RoTa had to say about the bill - they know their shit so best not to argue:

"Super-savvy London and occasionally New York club night Laissez Faire brings their flavour of classic guitar pop songcraft with ultra-catchy angular jangling from hotly-tipped RTL, blues-dance mashers IBB and huge choruses and soaring Buckley-esque vocals from The Jacquerie. Laissez Faire's regular club nights have seen many future stars take the stage - don't miss tomorrow's big names today!"

The event runs from 4-8pm, and is completely free of charge. Happy hour drinks deals too, and sofas to sit on (in between the bands of course). Come along and make it the start of a big Saturday night out.
