September MUSIC @THE
CANTEEN
Mon Canteen Jazz Session - An open jazz jam session for seasoned players to join the house trio and others in exploring classic jazz & latin tunes. 1 Tue 2
Matt Woosey - Like the blues? Proper blues, mind, bashed out on a guitar with moanin’ and howlin’ and all that razmataz? Matt Woosey’s your man, then, or maybe your mannish boy.
Wed Panther Panther - Blessed with a dual Mexican and British heritage Pablo Perezzerate has his own distinctive take on electronica, unveiling mystery narratives over unfolding grooves and resounding beats. 3
Thu Little Arrow & Ivan Moult Album Launch - Anyone remember the Incredible String Band? 4 Whoever invented the term psych-folk must have seen Little Arrow’s evocative lyrics, jangling folksiness and occasional big band swooshes coming from their Welsh hinterland. Nicely, they meet lyrical songsmith Ivan Moult halfway, his rich acoustic sound boasting the hint of a stadium ring.
Fri 5
Speaking In Tongues
Sat 6
Dub Renaissance All Dayer Ft Future Dub Orchestra & Dj Highart
Sun 7
Le Skeleton Band
- The Canteen don’t do tribute acts as a rule, but this absolutely bang on reconstruction of the many faces of Talking Heads would surely merit a benign nod from the great Mr Byrne himself. Fabulous music brought to the liveliest of life by Chris Apthomas and friends. - flexible collective pulled together by composer/producer JT Clarke to realise his electro-dub fusion ideas by way of deeply bass-driven tunes with easy dancehall grooves - Music from 1pm - late
- This post-rock trio come from the other Montpellier - the one in France - with a kind of swampy Gallic Waits-ishness that hovers between Jacques Brel and the Alabama 3. It has surreal moments and banjos.
Mon Canteen Hip Hop - Guest MCs and musicians join the rhythm section collective for a monthly exploration of all things hip (and, indeed, hop). 8 Tue 9
of the ultra-funky Groove-iST
Twelve Months of Summer - Monthly showcase of the best acts from the acoustic scene pulled together by the sparkling Miss Rosina Buck (who is one such herself).
Wed UUOO/Ruane Maurice - Say it like ‘wooh! and the next thing you know there’s Sam Wooster whipping 10 up deep dub step presentations of his slightly epic songs. Switch your attention to fellow Brummy trio Ruane Maurice and you’ll be swept along by their cleverly poppy hip-hop collages. Either way it’s a good ‘un.
Thu 11
Three London Planes - Add jangling guitars and close harmony vocals to psychedelically folkish songs and what have you got? Either a time-warp back to The Byrds circa 1967 or Bristol folk-rock threesome Three London Planes.
Fri 12
Harare - Whatever you hope for when you think of Zimbabwean music be sure that Harare has it aplenty:
Sat 13
Wormfood - there’s only two of them, but that’s all they need for Constance Dalrymple’s smokey voice
Sun 14
The Wonderful Sound of the Cinema Organ
ringing jingling guitars, rich-toned marimba, irresistible dance rhythms, swooping basslines, uplifting vocals , they’re all there, plus the unavoidable big grin that the music always puts on your face.
to tell her edgy stories while Eliseo Soardi supplies a dazzling selection of hip-twitching rhythms on the acoustic guitar. They could play this anywhere - no batteries required! - but they’re playing it for us, cos we’re worth it. With DJ Mango Park. - Don’t expect a mighty Wurlitzer to arise from the floor - but you can expect pretty much anything else from this kinda jazzy 9-piece outfit from Leeds. They’ll plunder whatever they like from wherever in the world just as long as it’s exactly right for their oh-so-smart music.
Mon Canteen Jazz Session - An open jazz jam session for seasoned players to join the house trio and 15 others in exploring classic jazz & latin tunes. Tue 16
Tallulah Rendall - The bare facts - Tallulah Rendall writes songs and plays guitar while she sings them - don’t do justice to the rock’n’roll energy and vision of her work. In her head there’s a stadium and her gutsy music fills it more than adequately.
FREE ENTRY - BUT PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY TO THE MUSIC BUCKET! LIVE MUSIC MON-THURS 9:30 -11:30PM | FRI & SAT BANDS & DJS FROM 9:30-1:00AM | SUN LIVE MUSIC 4:00-6:00PM
Wed Bristol European Jazz Ensemble - With band members from the UK, Italy, France, Switzerland 17 and Denmark These guys are a fine representation of the contemporary music scene. Their music – composed by trumpeter David Mowat - is equally eclectic, ranging from light Latin breezes to hard bop excursions.
Thu 18
Schoolboy’s Death Trio
Fri 19
Brass Junkies -
Sat 20
First Degree Burns - Ever since they gained a horn section there’s been no holding back the power of First Degree Burns and their good-time Skip-Hop sound. Think ofThe Beat with a tad more urgency and you got it!
Sun 21
The Bruce/Ilett Six - When two versatile and entertaining jazz musicians like Jonny Bruce (trumpet) and Denny Ilett (guitar) get together to swing you can be sure that’s just what will happen. When they call up a few of their favourite musicians to join the fun then it’s all bound to happen big-time.
- Not quite as grim as the name suggests – this lot present saxophonist and poet Andrew ‘Schoolboy’ Hayes’ musings on life and death in an upbeat and artful jazz-hop production. a dynamic 8 piece brass band inspired by the funky Mardi Gras sounds of the New Orleans street bands. Two trumpets, two saxophones, trombone, drums/percussion and tuba keeping it funky at the bottom end this high-energy, good-time music will bring some carnival atmosphere to the place!
Mon Mike Dennis - Mike Dennis comes at hip-hop from both sides - he’s deeply immersed in the whole beatmaking 22 thing, digital style, and yet he also knocks up a pretty decent rhyme or two with which to embellish his tracks. The surprising thing is that he’s also Grade 8 on the violin, and that that turns out to be relevant, too.
Tue 23
Jess McAllister - It’s not really folk, what Jess McAllister does, it’s more herself with an acoustic soundtrack. There’s all kinds of stories to be heard when she starts to sing, some written into her personable voice and others her deftly written lyrics, but whatever the story one conclusion might be … Let’s All Drink! Makes perfect sense to us.
Wed Roshi feat. Pars Radio - Here’s something deeply traditional sent back from a future desert-based
24
tribe of apocalypse survivors who enshrined ancient Iranian music and the classic sounds of electronica scrambled into ritual dance music. It works brilliantly because Roshi Nasehi’s voice has such captivating power and Graham ‘Gagarin’ Dids knows it’s all about synth sounds - and because it just works.
Thu Eyes for Gertrude - The extraordinary duo of Hannah Dean and Chantelle Pike first had Eyes for 25 Gertrude at Dartington College but they also noticed Toronto where they took their highly original blend
of jaunty folk-rock, orchestral pop and taste for an unlikely idea. It went down a storm over there and now it’s going down equally well back here. Think the McGarrigles with both feet off the ground, sort of.
Fri 26
Ephemerals
Sat 27
Wah Wah 45 feat. Colman Brothers & DJ Dom Servini - Do we have to sell you the Colman Brothers? Surely their awesome big brass grooves, classic 60s production sound and tight-asa-locknut dance energy have already penetrated your very soul! And given the bonus of their Wah Wah 45 label-mate DJ Dom Servini and his famously festival-friendly mix you know you can’t lose.
- Super-classy 7-piece outfit from London with all-original soul material whose richly brassed up arrangements give it a proper rare groove assurance. They’re also blessed with Wolf, the kind of raw-voiced frontman that could make the phone book sound like Otis, Wilson or James.
Sun Gianna Lauren/Wildest Dreams - Behind diffidently cool Canadian songstress Gianna Lauren’s 28 fringe and specs lurk radar eyes already making stripped-back rock poetry from your flaws. The same deceptiveness haunts Wildest Dreams duo of Zoe Mead and Holly Mullineaux: are they merely shoe-gazing or actually dreaming massive electropop anthems for astronauts?
Mon Canteen Jazz Session - An open jazz jam session for seasoned players to join the house trio and 29 others in exploring classic jazz & latin tunes.
Tue Mary Spender - She’s a cut above your average singer/songwriter and guitarist, young Mary Spender, 30 and comparisons with Joni Mitchell rest lightly on the easy jazziness of her voice and the quick, rich
lyricism of her songs, making her clearly “One To Watch” (according to Seasick Steve) or, indeed, hear, especially in this trio with bass and drums.
