Damn the Snow and to Hell with the rain - The Last Spoon of Music has been re-scheduled and The Mighy Roars make a come back!

Damn the blasted snow blanketing London like a collossal white turd. Thus highlighting how impossibly inept the London transport system really is. Shows were cancelled, souls were stranded and we all got to make a snowman.

Frozen hands and stinging ears were the result of London’s snowiest debacle for two decades - so due to such wintery abandonment the final Spoon of Music was cancelled.

But fear ye not artrockers it has been re-scheduled and features now even more famous artrockers of years past…roll up roll up and let me shout from the roof tops…

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 17th 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 17th 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 Noir-rock from the ex-Electric Shocks (Artrockers from the very begining) Deathline. Let Karou and Jennie get you all pent up and sexy and after they push their sultry finger through your ear drums you’ll have a musical tickeling from the poptastic Mitchell Museum who have made their way down from the blossoming scene thats happening in Glasgow at the moment.

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 The Mighty (Mighty) Roars (so mighty i had to name them twice) displaying a furious array of punk rock power. Imagine it.

Their debut album Swine and Cockerel (One Little Indian) was a big hit at Artrocker HQ in 2007 and now their back with their first show in nearly a year to show you new material from their forthcoming second album.

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

‘A rollicking rock and roll rodeo ride: PJ Harvey, The Pistols and Yeah Yeah Yeahs….love it!’ Shaun Keaveny, XFM 104.9

The London bred guitarist and drummer ratchet up a Sex Pistols storm over which Swedish singer-bassist Lara Granqvist vents like Karen O morphing into Jello Biafra. The Mighty Roars are primal amphetamine bubblegum… Q MAGAZINE
