Thursday's Offline Club at Brixton was one of the best for a long time. We had a great line up with the incredible MORTON VALENCE, a massed throng of ukes with the DULWICH UKULELE CLUB, fast-rising hip-hop with LADY LYKEZ and the floor filling skiffle delights of THE SEVERED LIMB - plus underground no-budget independent film screenings with FLIXATION.

And this is why we do it!

Just got chance to post up some pics from last week's Offline bash at the Dogstar with Josie Long, Voodoo Trombone Quartet, Atomic Suplex, Anchorsong and Vic Lambrusco's Cabaret Hour - plus Craft Corner.

It's great to see Offline back in its old home and pulling good crowds, but it was so hectic I didn't get chance to take many pics.

Here's a few from the night:

I can't remember the last time I was blown away by a club, but Shunt was one of the best clubs I've been to for a very long time.

We went down to watch the Actionettes play and I thought I was in for another run-of-the-mill tarted up under-the-arches kind of club, but how wrong I was.

The night started ominously with the security staff insisting on scanning in my ID - but inside the security was very, very light.

First off, the space is absolutely MASSIVE. And I mean huge! There's tons of space and it takes ages just to work out where everything was.



There was a mini rolling skate rink with people running around like nutters. The Actionettes danced on two stages simultaneously - one of them 20 foot in the air. It was really exciting - it felt like the sort of underground parties that Jagger might have gone to in the 60s.



The all-girl Monks tribute band The Nuns played on another stage. There was a cinema playing Nancy Sinatra.

There was snooker and table football. The crowd was mixed. The music was fantastic - 50s, 60s and a smattering of dance - and the DJs looked sharp as fuck.



It was one of the best nights I've had out on ages. It's such a shame that the club's closing soon (it's going to be replaced by - you guessed it - shops) but if you do get a chance to go - don't miss out!

We love the 12 Bar Club. It's one of the few old-school live venues left in central London that hasn't either been closed or turned into a ghastly style bar.



There's always an interesting mix of folks there, and loads of bands to check out.


We saw the excellent David Cronenberg's Wife, the bonkers and brilliant Filthy Pedro and Major Matt Mason there last night.



The stage is almost comically small and the tiny upstairs gallery gives a great view of the heads of the bands and precious little else!


There's a well stocked bar in the club, beer prices are reasonable and any place with photos of Aladdin Sane and Suzi Quatro on the wall is alright by me.
