The Red Rose is mainly a comedy club, not a music venue, hence the crap sound.

I liked the general ambience of the place when I went there. I can't say that I noticed the sound as being particularly bad, but that's not to say that it wasn't.
T&B, do you mean that the PA was bad, or the acoustics? |

If he meant the acoustics, he was right. They are not good. The sound reverberates against the ceiling a lot.

Every time I have been there it was the acoustics that struck me as being quite bad. No idea how ''famous'' it is but it's one of the oldest.

The Vortex
Matthew Shipp Trio Monday 21 April ![]() Joined by Whit Dickey on drums and Joe Morris on bass, Shipp delves deep into the original format that first gave birth to the very idea of jazz itself: the absolute freedom of an acoustic session. Matthew Shipp is truly a force to be reckoned with: one of the most creative and intelligent musicians on the planet. Just keeping up with him is a task beyond most musicians' abilities; recognizing his ideas and spurring him onward is a task for the very few. When it works, it's glorious. When it fails, chances are you'll stick around for more. This is a must for all fans of free jazz. |

Saya (Tenniscoats)
Sunday, 13 April 2008 Cafe Oto 18 - 22 Ashwin street Dalston, London, E8 3DL £5 http://www.wegottickets.com/event/28621 Saya, vocalist and primary songwriter for Japan's Tenniscoats touches down in London for a rare solo spot to open Dalston's latest live performance space CAFE OTO with a set of inspired psychedelic avant-pop. Tenniscoats celebrate all that makes song vital in our collective consciousness, matching emotive live performance against delicately psychedelic folk songs. As Johan Berthling of Swedish trio Tape commented: "Their starting point is pop songs, but with a staggeringly free approach: psychedelic folk tunes, complex instrumentals and short pop jewels side by side, everything is possible. A song can be performed in a myriad ways. Their interplay is angular and at the same time the most sensitive one has heard. A feeling of a music that constantly goes on, whether Saya and Ueno are on stage or not. A music free of pretensions, but urgent as few things I have heard." Saya is one of the key figures in the tokyo underground pop scene, a catalyst and collaborator, organising shows and giving opportunities to younger musicians on the scene, whilst spreading her own wings with far-flung collaborations. Two are due later this year with The Pastels (on Geographic/Domino) and Deerhoof's Satomi as OneOne - the name a sweet pun on the japanese onomatopoeia for a dog's bark. These follow last year's two stunning records - Totemo Aimasho (trans. 'Lets meet very much' for the Australian ROOM40 label) and Tan-Tan Therapy (for Häpna in Sweden). Saya is also a member of Maher Shalal Hash Baz and runs the Majikick label with her partner Takashi Ueno (Tenniscoats' guitarist/saxophonist) from their base in Tokyo's outer suburbs. "Innocence without the sweetness that sometimes puts people off of twee-pop, hearkening back instead to the ramshackle psychedelic sing-song of the Red Krayola... well worth checking out." pitchforkmedia.com ABOUT CAFE OTO Cafe OTO is a venue based in Dalston, London presenting the most innovative artists working today with a particular focus on new music. The venue's aim is to support and foster a vibrant creative community rooted in their local surroundings whilst embracing the best new music and art from the U.K. and abroad. Cafe OTO (meaning noise/sound/music in Japanese) comprises of one large café/performance space open during the day serving food and drink with an evening programme of live music, films, talks and discussions. Based on the ground floor of an old warehouse on Ashwin Street in Dalston the venue opens in April 2008. www.myspace.com/tenniscoats www.tenniscoats.com www.cafeoto.co.uk www.wegottickets.com/event/ |

OMSK events unfold across multiple rooms, providing a platform for live art, experimental sound, bands / DJs, film, video and installation.

The OMSK collective are looking for work for this and other summer/autumn happenings. Please visit www.omsk.org.uk and have a read of our manifesto, which has a fair go at trying to outline the kinds of work we support. If it fits, or if you feel like changing the manifesto to make it fit, then send CDs/DVDs/short written proposals to: OMSK 1st floor, 17-25 Cremer Street, London E2 8HD or email: omskorganisation@gmail.com _________________ |
