Ah, it’s that time of year, the sun comes out and we bathe ourselves in its cancerous rays like its going out of fashion. Lavishing it all over our pasty excuse for a complexion. Between the punctured holes in the cloud it pieces through blinding and burning without a second thought. Sun its overrated, it makes you sweat and in turn you smell and the result is you into; a meandering dripping graceless lump.
But, for some reason it makes people happy, is brightens up the most ardent dullard such as myself. So, it’s quite apt that this SUNday, that monthly club Chamber returns with something to help shield you from those darting, burning shards of light.
For those taking the time to watch the poor excuse for a ‘competition’ in Sundays FA Cup semi final clash between Manchester United and Everton, you can regal what’s sure to be total demolition of Everton for an afternoon drink over at the Legion in Old Street.

You know the feeling. It’s a Sunday evening and you reflect on your weekend with the impending working week dangling in front of your nose like a rancid carrot and you think:
"well, that was nice. But what have I actually done?”
You wonder if you’ve wasted those precious days that you look forward to every week and it’s a Sunday evening. What are you going to do? Wait for ITV’s inevitable period drama? Or maybe Channel 4 is showing special never been seen before behind the scenes clips of ‘I’m a Big Celebrity Get Me Shipwrecked on Ice’?
Or like the inquisitive Artrocker that you are you could go and seek out a gig to perfectly round off your week and actually give you something to talk about on a Monday morning. I mean Monday mornings are rubbish anyway and you’re bound to be tired so why not have a reason for it this time? Makes sense no?
Well with club nights popping up around the country like acne on a pre-teen go and investigate what is happening in your area. And for those in the capital a lovely little night called Chamber has popped up. So, get yourself over to The Legion (348 Old Street, London, EC1V 9NQ) at 7pm on Sunday and get your crisp five pound note ready to give you the chance to see five bands. A pound a band essentially, credit-crunching enormity.
So whilst DJ’s Jonny Phantom and King Chinchilla fill your ears with musical sensuality get prepared to watch Paris/London based electronic master **k (pronounced 2 star k) who entwines you with his brooding, experimental and minimal electronica Which simmers on evasive, austere and becomes a law unto itself.
Then after refreshing yourself, long time Artrocker favourites Plastic Passion will be playing songs from their debut album ‘Contrived Imagery’ which will make you reach for those Cure and PiL albums once again. Not to be out-done is moody London trio R O M A N C E whose erratic and sparse rock, brooding bass murmurs and jagged guitar lines create a dark sense of foreboding.
