Bleech (live)

Kicking off proceedings we have special guests Bleech playing live on the 7. The London three piece, consisting of sisters Jen and Katherine along with school friend Matt on drums are the first band to play a monthly residency at Koko’s Club NME and we’re pleased to welcome them here.

Clash magazine described them as ‘London’s Best Kept Secret’, NME as an ‘energetic rummaging through Lush, Sleeper and Elastica’, the Sun as ‘engaging’ and the Fly love them too: ‘This is the sound of Ash waking up and realising they’re teenagers again. It’s the noise of Suede being catapulted against a wall. In modern terms it’s like Cage The Elephant getting together with Dinosaur Pile-Up and writing a punk song the size of an eighty-stone Super grass. So simple. So brilliant.'

The band, managed by Andy Ross (ex-Food Records) have also been shown love on the airwaves from Steve Lamacq, Lauren Laverne, Stephen Merchant and John Kennedy.

Batteries Not Included DJ
Crimes Against Pop DJs

Life In Film Live

Batteries Not Included is London’s best new party. With three rooms of Indie, Electro, Pop & Rock across the 1000 capacity Quad at LSE’s Student Union it’s set to be the venue for Saturday’s biggest night out. Every week special guest DJs and the hottest live bands come together to bring you the finest Rock n Roll in town.

It’s the sound of the city, the best festival moments you never had and dancing til your feet pop. The freshest sounds mixed with classic tunes to soundtrack your weekend.

Crimes Against Pop host the Underground on the 21st playing pop, off-kilter indie, hip-hop, electronica and eclectica, fresh from their 6th birthday celebrations.

Life In Film are our live guests, their engaging and infectious drive is the dance floor filling antidote to the end of the summer. Played by John Kennedy on XFM, Huw Stevens on Radio one and described by Steve Lamacq as ‘‘a nice piece of fidgety pop,’’ they headlined the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury and you’ll be seeing a lot more of them
