Quick message to remind of 3 gigs not to be missed this week...

Highly recommended tonight (yet another sent this way by Julie
Tippex who previously sent us Zombie Zombie, Faust, So So Modern,
etc):
Marvin + Super Adventure Club + The Munchkins at Henry's, 8pm, £5 /
£4 for mailing-list members + friends

Marvin are a guitar-drums-keyboards three piece from Montpellier,
France. Marvin like to have fun, and want you to have some too.
Eschewing the pretence and po-facedness that so often seems to come
as part of the territory of DIY music, Marvin make blistering, noisy
and truly joyful pop. Pounding drums and walloping riffs are offset
by quirky, catchy analogue synth melodies, the result being
something akin to a heavierDevo, the poppiest moments ofLightning
Bolt or the tight, proggy silliness of Oxes or Trans Am. Vocals come
in the form of simple refrains, chants and yelps, which seem somehow
like the appropriate response to the primitive energy and joy
generated by three musicians bouncing playful melodies and rhythms
off each other. Throw in a bit of The Boredoms and Pere Ubu, and
you'll start to understand the fun you'll have here.
