We've got a special party night lined up with stunning, luscious electro-pop from MORTON VALENCE plus live rockabilly/skiffle from the incredible SEVERED LIMB - backed by the usual line up of DJs, plus original videos, street photo slideshows and more.
LIVE ONSTAGE:
MORTON VALENCE
Serving up full-fat slices of hook-rich electro-pop soaked in Cabaret-era decadence with a sensational live show to match, Morton Valence are one of the best bands we've ever put on at Offline.
The band's debut album, 'Bob and Veronica Ride Again' has picked up rave reviews, and they're one of the few bands nominated for the Storm the Charts campaign, so make sure you get down to Brixton for this one!
"A rich treasure trove of songs" **** Q Magazine
"...released possibly the best single of the past decade, Sailors" BBC
"alluring and seductive" **** Uncut
"Spectacular" Drowned in Sound
"a full fat slice of hook rich electro-pop" BBC
"One of the year's loveliest albums" Artrocker
THE SEVERED LIMB
With more washboard action than a Birkenhead washhouse, and more tea-chests than a Typhoo depot, the SKIFFLE KIDS are guaranteed to set the floor shaking to sweet, sweet rock'n'roll, country and skiffle. And expect some very special guests!
NORQUAY
Norquay is already making waves across Scotland, London and beyond where he's performed for Alex Kerr-Wilson and Ruth Rothwell at Discovery and is through to the Scottish finals of UK Live and Unsigned.
His John Martyn style and raw, unabashed personality define a unique talent emerging from the Scottish music scene.
New tracks, produced by Jamie Duffin, are recording through 2010 and his debut single Hear No Evil / Comets is out on October 4th.
MULTIMEDIA
Original photos, old footage, pop 45 sleeves, and more.
DJS!
We'll also have a full crew of hard-drinking Offline regulars throwing down a top selection of tunes, including:
EDITOR (urban75)
An ale-fuelled onslaught of ska, punk, rock'n'roll, big band, rockabilly, Mrs Mills & Liberace in a floor stomping package proving that drinking'n'DJing can be a perilous trade.
NIPSLA (Falling over studios)
Packing more pop than a Rice Krispies factory, Nipsla's DJ bag is a veritable jumble sale of joy, overflowing with indie, dance, electro and party tunes.
BARON BOBBY BAUHAUS (charcoal soul)
More mysterious than Robert Smith's eyeliner bag, Bobby gets dancefloors rocking with quirky, darkside indie-pop and kohl-smudging breakbeats.
