BIG CHILL BAR :: HUMMEL :: 02/11/05

Hummel is perhaps better known at the moment for his sterling remix of The Black Seeds’ “Your Sunrise” and his live work with Rhian Sheehan than he is for his own material, but hopefully that will change with the release of his sixth solo album, out sometime early next year. For this show he has been preparing a downbeat(ish) dubby montage incorporating “obscure NZ shxt” (his words) into a “live” laptop performance of his own quirky electronica. Also playing will be Clare B and the Crazy Baldhead.

From: 7pm til 12am
On: Dray Walk, just off Brick Lane, London E1 6QL
Nearest tubes: Liverpool Street or Aldgate East

Tickets are flying fast off the shelves for this, Shapeshifter’s first and only London headline show this winter.

Supporting them will be very special guest MC Tali and on DJ duty will be OG (Central Records) and Kaps (Soun).

Tickets are £10+b/f in advance from Ticketweb (08700 600 100) – http://ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=uk&query=detail&event=141032

CARGO :: BBQ SESSIONS:: 21/08/05

For this Sunday session we are very proud to present a musical smorgasbord for your pleasure.

Our “headline” act is an acoustic set by the sensation of 2004, Fly My Pretties.

Barnaby will also be playing some music under his other guise, the fabulously funky Flash Harry and we have another Black Seed (and Flight of the Conchord’s maestro) Bret Mckenzie showcasing his own side project, The Video Kid. Last not but not least, there will be poetry and performance from Sistar Spacific and friends. Manning the decks in and around these performances will be the ever funky and eclectic Ms Mill, the wonderfully deranged Mikey Ray and the all encompassing LOOP soundsystem.

Cargo chefs will be cooking Kiwi delicacies outside on the barbie – not sure exactly what yet but green lipped mussels, lamb cutlets and other delights were mentioned.

COMMENT :: BOOKING FEES

We received several emails complaining about the high booking fees seetickets.com charged for the Scribe show. We agree that £2.20 is a very high price to charge but were tied to using The Forum’s ticketing agents by the hire contract.

For The Black Seeds and Fat Freddys Drop shows we will be using Ticketweb. They charge £1.20 for venue pick up and £2.70 if you have the ticket posted to you. To speed up venue pick up’s and thus reduce queues, for every 150 of you who buy “will call” tickets, we will hire an extra person to give you your tickets on the door. Hopefully this means we can get everyone in quickly and painlessly.

We have also printed out proper tickets and will be selling them at our Big Chill Bar sessions on 8th June and 13th July, and at the ToastLife Festival on Clapham Common on 11th June, where we will be running a CD stall. These direct sales will have NO commission or booking fee, but will be cash only.
