Bank
holiday Sunday! Five live bands, a free five-track 7” single +
goodie bag! Be there or wish you were!
As if releasing consistently high standard vinyl releases wasn't enough, Fruits De Mer Records have teamed up with similarly reputable label, Mega Dodo, to curate an afternoon and evening of music at Putney's Half Moon venue. This takes place on Sunday 24th of May. For those who don't like going out on a school night, fear not, it's a Bank Holiday the following day! The advance ticket price of £15 gets you a five band billing along with a whole bunch of freebies including -
* the Games For May 7", with tracks by all five bands - exclusive to the gig
* an exclusive CD featuring a previously-unreleased album by PIPE (the predecessors of The Past Tense)
* Cary Grace's 'Where You Go' CD album
* a compilation CD from Headspin Records
* a compilation CD from Mega Dodo
* a compilation from Stylus Records
* a compilation CD from DJ Marrs Bonfire
* a CD by ZX+
* a CD by The Portraits
* a CD by the Blue Giant Zeta Puppies
- that's a 7" EP + NINE CDs!
plus...
* an A3 gig poster
* an 'artifact' featuring Todd Dillingham
* a sticker from Claudio Cataldi
* and a very silly game from Fruits de Mer & Mega Dodo

The fun starts at 4pm and goes on till closing time. Along with the live bands there'll be rare vinyl DJ sets from Marrs Bonfire and Cranium Pie's Julian Smith. The event is almost certain to sell out so don't hang about buying your tickets. The five acts playing live (and who feature on the free 7” single) are -
Tir na nOg
Legdendary psych-folk duo formed by Leo O'Kelly and Sonny Cordell in 1970. They'll also be launching The Dark Dance, their first studio album in 40 years at the gig - and there'll be an exclusive 50-run individually lathe-cut 7" available for £10 a time to the first 50 people to buy the album.
Schnauser
Favourites here at
Harmonic Distortion are Bristol's quirk-prog supremists. Read our
review of their Where Business Meets Fashion album here.
The Past Tense
The Past Tense
Three-piece band from
Worcester Park/Kingston. Their sound is a fusion of mod, '60s beat,
garage, psych and punk. Their track “Vision (from Another World”
was recorded especially for the event's free 7”.
Crystal Jacqueline and The Honey Pot
Crystal Jacqueline will
be familiar to Fruits De Mer aficionados. A founding member of the
Honey Pot she'll also be launching latest album Rainflower
(Mega Dodo Records) at this gig. We've heard it and it's pretty
special, review coming soon!
Mark and The Clouds
Mark and The Clouds
London based band that
evolved from Instant Flight. Purveyors of '60s tinged power pop
though their offering on the 7” has a more folky vibe, all
12-string acoustic and harmonies. Entitled “Any Part Of Town”
it's only available on the free 7”.
