RUTH LESS Is she starlet or harlot? Disfigured beauty or a strange new form of the physical ideal...?

HEAVY METAL PETE Echoes of a special agent escaped from darkness and confusion, but who remains...?

You may be deeply offended. But you won't look away. Mad, bad and regrettable to miss: that pretty much summarises The Double R Club." - This Is Cabaret ------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE: BIG BAGS (OVER A4 SIZE) MUST BE CHECKED INTO THE CLOAKROOM ON BUSY NIGHTS ------------------------------- |

ALASKALSKA- EP RELEASE PARTY TIMES:DOORS 8PM / CLOSE 11.30PM PRICES: ADVANCE: £6 | ON THE DOOR: TBA ------------------------------- Rockfeedback presents: ALASKALASKA ALASKALASKA are an art-pop 6-piece from London. They make beautiful, groove-laden music that seamlessly blends jazz, disco, funk and R&B into a bold and playful sound uniquely their own; synthetic beats play alongside live drums, delayed guitars and shimmering saxophones to create something musically rich and delightfully intricate. Band leader and principle vocalist Lucinda twists brooding and introspective lyrics - akin to the words of Arthur Russell - into infectious melodies reminiscent of Warpaint, Dirty Projectors or Talk Talk, which demand repeat listens and could as easily soundtrack a wistful evening alone as they could a party. They've built a cult following and reputation as extraordinary performers through a handful of low-key London shows. 'Bitter Winter', the lead track from their debut EP, and 'Familiar Ways', are the perfect introduction to their brand of off-kilter pop. 'Bitter Winter' / 'Familiar Ways' is released via House Anxiety / Marathon Artists on Monday 22nd May - full EP coming summer 2017.

MATTHEW AND THE ATLAS TIMES:DOORS 7PM / CLOSE 11.30PM PRICES: ADVANCE: SOLD OUT | ON THE DOOR: £8 ------------------------------- COMMUNION PRESENTS.... MATTHEW AND THE ATLAS Matthew Hegarty (AKA Matthew And The Atlas) is a British songwriter and multi-instrumentalist and was the first artist to be signed to Communion. After the dreamy and textured Americana of his To The North and Kingdom of Your Own EPs had built him a cult global following, Hegarty released the debut album Other Rivers in April 2014, prompting Q to call him "the British Bon Iver". Recorded in East Nashville with Brian Holl and Eric Hillman from Foreign Fields, His latest album, Temple (22.04.16) is a cathartic expression of its writer's own fears and feelings. New parenthood inevitably colours Hegarty's perspective on the world – a world whose natural wonders seem terminally threatened by the relentless march of technology and apparent human advancement. The "black figure" (the nebulous being that first appeared to him after he was near fatally stabbed in an attack) returns from Other Rivers to again loom over parts of Temple, and throughout the album its protagonists seem to be striving, aching even, to find their place in amongst it all. But ultimately there's hope in the darkness; redemption to be found in honest human relationships. The album's themes inspired Hegarty to team up with photographer friend Dave Watts. The pair travelling alone to various remote locations across Cornwall and Somerset, with Watts shooting Hegarty in the wilderness, a tiny figure moving through a vast, desolate landscape - a small man in a big world.
