We have reached the 13th Installment of Off Modern and to celebrate this fact we are going all out!

Joining us just before they all jump on a plane to Texas for SWSX, we present to you:

DJANGO DJANGO
http://www.myspace.com/djangotime
It’s almost impossible to box this band in. In the trusted words of the guardian, Django Django are ” Psychedelic art pop at its brilliant best”. Pulsating percussion, fast rhythms, handclaps intertwined with a lot of whiskey, a burning hot sun and a mustang. They are sure to bring that much needed heat to a very icy Elephant & Castle.

FRENCH KISSING
http://www.myspace.com/frenchkissingband
Another band to undoubtably take the winter chill away. French Kissing serve up a strong dose of sunbleached 60’s Harmonies and garage pop to go bonkers to. In the word’s of one blogger, French Kissing make Brian Wilson want to put on his speedoes and head back to the beach – enough said.

BEATY HEART
http://www.myspace.com/beatyheart
This south London four piece will get you moving. With their own brand of b-more inspired loops, samples and frenetic tribal drumming Beaty Heart should not be missed.

The next Off Modern event is swiftly approaching, it is happening on January the 14th, at Corsica Studios, between 9pm and 3am, there will be live music from Welsh psych boys, Race Horses, and London’s Wild Palms. As always Off Modern’s residents, Tomfoolery vs Nasty McQuaid will be playing records till three am, we also have the hotly tipped future superstar dj Stopmakingme making an appearance, and guess what, he has kindly made us a super exclusive mix, which you can listen to here.

Art this month is being supplied by Guy Gormley, who has created an immersive event for our second room, and Time To Waste will also be exhibiting work throughout the venue. As well as all this we will be holding a zine fair, where you’ll be able to get some preview posters from the new Off Modern journal, as well as work from Ditto Press, Clinic, Gute Luft and Holy Ghost. If you’ve got something you’d like to sell, please email Will and let him know, his email address is will@offmodern.com.

Try and brave the snow because, as always, its lovely see you.

This Thursday November 5th marks our first anniversary as a collective and it’s about time to give you a little taster of what’s going down at Corsica Studios. Replacing Gaggle, our special guests this month are Loverman who we had the pleasure of putting on at South East in East in the summer.

You’ll remember we posted about Loverman a few months ago and since then they’ve made this superb video for their single Crypt Tonight…
