This is the END of Spoon of Music..

by Lee Puddefoot on Thu, 2009/01/29 - 5:58pm Post to Twitter

After something around two years, Spoon of Music have been operating at the Windmill in Brixton. That small cosey old man hub of local eccentricites and a horde of enticing new music.

But, alas as with everything; nothing can infact live forever. Maybe i dont really want to know how your garden grows because i just want to fly i believe someone once said. But i digress.

So after featuring acts such as The Chapman Family, The Official Secrets Act, 586, Kasms, Micron 63, The Mighty Roars, William, Dave Cloud and the Gospel of Power (he of Budweiser infamy) and copious amouts of other aural tear-aways we see the final goodbye on Tuesday 3rd February 2009..

So let me lay out what exactly is giong to happen…from 8pm the doors will open, you upon paying a paltry £4 for entry will be given a free CD celebrating what has passsed/past…this small celebratory disc will include the following..

Thee Vicars, The Conscripts, the slow blade, The Chapman Family, William, And What Will Be Left of Them, Phantom, Deathline, LR RocKets and a bunch of other luminaries..

Get yourself here: The Windmill, 22 Blenheim Gardens, Brixton Sw2 5BZ

On this day: Tuesday 3rd February 2009

At this Exact time: 8pm

Ater this you will get yourself a drink from the resonably priced bar and get ready to watch the storming Blood Brothers-esque screamers The Shame. After they push their grizzly finger through youe ear drums you’ll have another musical battering from artrocker favourites Load.Click.Shoot!.

Finding time to catch a breath, have a toilet and get another drink uniform oddball types Silvery will whirl you around in a circus like frenzy popping out nuggets from last years frantic debut album ‘Thunderer and Excelsior’. Go ahead, yes. Thats Goosebumps on you.

Following on from these will be Nottingham’s finest purveyors of agitated new wave Nephu Huzzband, whose debut (and live) album, cunningly entitled ‘Live In London’ got many artrockers a little steamy last year.

Rounding off said evening will be Shock Defeat! displaying a jittery array of Mark E Smith like eccentricities. Imagine it.

And there you have it, a glorious end to Spoon of Music’s quiet revolution.
