DAVID GOO VARIETY BAND
Fresh from a sell out gig at the prestigious Bush Hall in Shepherd's Bush, we're delighted to have the incredible David Goo and friends at the Albert.
"Funloving, upbeat music about the everyday life of a psychotic mind."

Tel: 020 7274 3771
Transport: 2 mins from Brixton tube/BR/buses.
FREE ADMISSION! CHEAP BAR!
Map and venue info
We've got a fearsome night of quiff-shiverin' rockabilly, big band blockbusters, rambunctious rock'n'roll rattlers and bogroll-despatchin' punk-rock metal, with two fantastic bands, a ton of top DJs, rock'n'roll videos and an overflowing moshpit of beered up joy.
LIVE ON STAGE:
HACKSAW
BBC Bristol faves and official ball sponsors for Bath City vs Cheltenham, Hacksaw's combination of flying bog rolls and drink-fuelled, high energy songs made them an Offline sensation last year.
Expect an earful of noise, a faceful of Andrex's finest and big smiles from a band described as "daft as a bag of gibbons."
"Continuing in the comedic punk rock traditions of Wat Tyler/WWT/Oizone/Electro Hippies et al, Hacksaw are worthy of great respect and idolisation from The Masses" METAL HAMMER
EVIL GENIUS
Described as a "musical mix of Nick Cave channelling The Cramps" and a "Jagger-fronted Bad Seeds" the "charmingly demonic" Evil Genius should set the dance floor alight with their rip-roaring roackabilly mash ups.
"unhinged neo-rockabilly, rather like Billy Childish squaring up for military parade with The Birthday Party. Encore!"
- Music Week
