Keep Your Ears To The Ground



I'm delighted to announce that Laissez Faire Club has been asked to host the official London single launch party for one of the most exciting bands around at the moment, Brighton's Ice Black Birds (who recently tore things up at LFC's RoTa takeover last Saturday afternoon).

They're self releasing their debut single 'Ears To The Ground' on Monday 29 March, and LFC is throwing a party in celebration at The Old Queen's Head in Islington that very night.

The support bill is pretty mouth-watering, too. Babe Shadow, who support Florence & The Machine on her nationwide tour in May, are coming along to perform their summery indie-folk songs and Beaty Heart, a mysterious New Cross collective, will be kicking things off for the evening.

The decks, as always, will be manned by myself, and we have Club. The. Mammoth. (the guys behing the brilliant Free Fridays at The Hobby Horse in Dalston) doing a special guest DJ set as well.

Oh, and it's 2-4-1 on all cocktails on Monday night at the venue. It's going to be one hell of an evening. Diaries out now.

Laissez Faire Club vs RethinkPopMusic

Our friends at NYC's RethinkPopMusic have produced this great video documenting their week in London last October, when two of their bands, The Vanguard and Ambassadors, came over for a week of shows and interviews (all arranged by Laissez Faire Club). A lot of fun was had!

The song on the video is 'Pop Singer' by the Ohio based Eat Sugar, a new addition to the RPM family.
