Straight outta Essex, The New Town Kings laid down a fantastic set of old time trad ska and reggae. They were ace!
Room was at a premium with the nine piece band shoehorned on to the Albert's 'intimate' stage!
The crowd loved 'em!
Lang and Lopez on the decks.
Offline regular and Prince Albert favourite James Pyke slammed down another killer set.

LIVE ONSTAGE:
NEW TOWN KINGS
Since 2006 New Town Kings have been rocking venues and festivals across the UK and Europe with their own brand of Ska, Rock-steady and Reggae. Their fun, fast and uplifting shows have made them firm favourites on the circuit and big things are expected of their new album.
James Pyke is mayhem live! One of London's wildest grime and hip hop performers, and fresh of the stage in the lead role in London Urban Collective's Purgatory Hipopera, he'll get the whole place bouncing off the walls in no time. One to watch...
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.
MS. LOPEZ (The Actionettes)
A glorious celebration of 50s, 60s, Motown and obscure dance tunes from the Actionettes' very own Glamour Queen of Vintage Vinyl.
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.
