Jeff Keenan - The founder of Bournemouth’s longest running rock night, spills the beans. Speak to any Bournemouth rock music veteran about ‘back in the day’ and at some point the Steamhouse rock nights will come up. Head honcho Jeff Keenan started out DJing in the late 80s, and The Steamhouse began out of the Malt and Hops in Southbourne shortly after. Fast forward to 2017, and after a successful reunion event a few years ago, it’s still going strong and in multiple venues, having long outlived the pub that gave it life. We chat to Jeff about his new homes at Zephyr and Canvas, and what’s next for The Steamhouse nights.
“I WAS BEING BACKSTABBED F ALL DIRECTIONRSOM ”
The steamhouse nights are one of those classic heritage Bournemouth rock nights, for those that weren’t there from the start tell us a little bit about “The Steamhouse Rock Night” It all started when I was asked by the Manager of the Malt & Hops pub in Southbourne to come and DJ for him on a Sunday night playing anything I wanted. After a few months I started to play some rock music which was well received each time I played it and the Manager, who loved that style of music asked if I could play more, which I did and we built the night from there. Sunday bank Holidays became legendary very quickly due to the the success we were already having with the normal Sundays, to the point the crowd would queue up 2 hours before the doors opened just to get a space. The crowd over the years became extremely loyal to the night and it became more of a religion for them to be there week in and week out. I left the Pub in 1995 as I had been offered the Entertainments Manager’s role at The Academy (Now O2). The offer at the time was too good to turn down as I was given my own Friday Rock night in the 2000 capacity venue and initially carte blanche to book acts. Things ran smoothly for a little while until, internal politics started to get in the way and i was being backstabbed from all directions from the owner and his Management team which meant my hands were being tied with what I could do and spend on the nights. In the end I left and stopped playing Rock music altogether.
The Steamhouse had a resurgence over the last few years starting with reunion nights, what motivated you to bring it back? People kept asking me over and over again to do one, until one day when I finally said yes, So one was arranged at The Anvil in Bournemouth on a Bank Holiday Sunday, I turned up to be met with over 300 people, all regulars from a time gone by. From that night we were asked back by the Anvil to do some more nights which again were very well received, but i felt that the venue wasn’t for me and along came the Inferno Pub across the road from the Anvil. The manager of the Pub was really behind the night at first and gave it as much support as he could and we ran the night for a good couple of years doing really good trade. We stayed at the Inferno for 5 years but the support from the Management began to waver a little, so I decided to leave. Im sure you were pretty excited when The Brewhouse and Kitchen reopened your old stomping ground in Southbourne last year, how did it feel to be back in the saddle where it all began? I was ecstatic when i got a phone call from the Brewhouse I have to say, this was the place that gave birth to the night and not only gave me 5 years of fantastic memories but also became a major part of people’s lives of which they would remember for the rest of their lives. I dont think Ive been as nervous as i was on that first night, as i really didn’t know what to expect or how I would be received by the crowd……..I needn’t have worried…...as soon as i started it was like going back in time. The atmosphere was simply amazing, breathtaking at times and really emotional. Steamhouse has transitioned from a reunion event to a party on its own terms, how did you pull that off? The Steamhouse was always a night where we didn’t take themselves seriously and always gave people a night that they would remember and with most things it seems that the time is right for this type of night to re emerge. Have you found the crowd to be a lot of the original faces since you reignited the concept or have you been gaining a new following as well, and if so how have you done this? I would definitely say that at the moment we have a lot of the original faces, coming down, but now these faces are bringing their children down to the night, who in turn are bringing their friends down and the new generation of “Steamers” is gradually beginning to build
Zephryr is a relatively new venue in town. What made you choose that location over other more established premises? After the success of the bank holiday sundays at the Brewhouse, a lot of venues wanted to speak with me regarding bringing my night to their venues, but Zephyr was recommended to me by someone I trust and that it was a new bar about to launch at the time we were talking, plus the guys there are wicked, they “get” what the Steamhouse is about. At the same time as Zephyr approached me, Canvas Nightclub in Bournemouth asked me to pop in and have a chat and as soon as I saw they had a stage, PA and proper lighting rig I immediately saw the potential to put on Live bands under the banner of the Steamhouse. We agreed a date and booked 2 local bands to see how the night would work, PV Rocks who were the support band and headlining the show was Western Sand, who both blew the crowd away. The night was busy enough to know from the Canvas’ perspective and mine that we had a winning formular between us. You have a weekly radio show on Chesil Radio, how did you get into that and what has the experience been like? Chesil Radio called me up after listening to my Podcasts that i was uploading to my Steamhouse Rock Nights Facebook Page and Mixcloud which i was doing for fun and in the style of a radio show. They offered me my own show which i record and upload to the Station for broadcast every Thursday night from 10pm. You’ve been playing since 1988, how do you think the rock landscape changed in this time, and are there any particular catalysts for change that stick out in your mind? The biggest change in the Rock music world was Nirvana! They changed the landscape and started the decline of rock music as we knew it at that time. However once we got over the grunge/ Indie period it allowed new and exciting styles of rock to come to the forefront, mixing rap with rock and then there was the explosion in the heavier side of rock the really “heavy metal” side. However, the most amazing thing is that over the past few years the bands that i grew up and played back then, are now back with us and touring and creating new music. For those who aren’t familiar with The Steamhouse, tell us a little bit about the night. I have and will always play to the crowd, so i will play big commercial rock music thats catchy and has a simple hook that people will recognise. The nights are aimed at people who want to to come out and have a great time with their friends, dancing and jumping around to songs they know. Rock classics and anthems that everybody knows

Al B Damned formed way back in 2010 and have since become one of UK’s most promising horror punk / shock rock acts, having racked up euro tours, festival spots and support slots with the likes of Mushroomhead, Wednesday 13 and The Birthday Massacre among others. We chat with main man Joey before they dust of their coffins and embark on a few UK dates, including Facebarmageddon with Raging Speedhorn and Evil Scarecrow, and hometown shows at Boscombe Community Fair and Sound Circus. First off, I hear there’s a new acoustic album coming out, a pretty cool concept for a heavy band, how did this come about? We’ve always been a fan of unplugged albums and acoustic artists. Our guitarist Nick and I had been playing a few acoustic shows here and there, just for fun. We knew that the next full album wouldn’t be out until 2018, so we
thought it would be a cool thing to do between now and then. It’s been awesome giving old songs a new life. When you’re not playing the new acoustic material, how would you describe your sound for the uninitiated? We’re a mixed bag really, kind of ‘Horror Hard Rock’ we’d say. Between the five of us we have an array of influences from punk to classic rock to metal so they all feed in. We like to keep the songs catchy, fun and all with a splash of macabre. Having formed way back in 2010 Al B Damned has definitely been around the block, does it become harder to keep it fresh after such a long time? We’ve not run out of ideas yet, but then again a lot of the songs are horror twists on our own personal experiences. Over the years the band has evolved a lot, our music has matured and therefore our themes have too. We try and avoid the horror punk cliches and just have fun with it.
. D
You guys had a hiatus in the mid 2010s, what were the reasons for coming back from the dead after this?
show. We don’t want to be just another band in jeans and t-shirts standing still.
We spent a lot of time together back then, we grated on each other and weren’t mature enough to discuss it or sort it out. We took time apart to grow up. Yeah we all had our other bands during that time but Al B. Damned is like home, after a while you can’t wait to get back.
You’ve toured Europe, is it much different from UK shows, and do you have a preference?
There’s been a fair few line ups since the band’s inception with only Joey and Pip constant, how has this affected the band and the writing process and do you have a favourite line up? Most of the line-up changes over the years have been dictated by the band member’s personal lives. Some have left to have kids, start new bands or to concentrate on other hobbies. There’s no bad blood between any of us. The writing process normally starts with Pip and I so it hasn’t been affected negatively at all, if anything new band members bringing fresh ideas and influences is a good thing. Picking your favourite line-up is like picking your favourite child, yeah they annoy you and you often want to kill them, but they’re family. I see you are playing Boscombe Community Fair, this is an event with such a great local history, some of your content is adult (to put it mildly) will you be changing anything about your show for the families present?
Touring through Europe was awesome but the fans are great wherever we go. The main difference is the amount of travelling between shows. So many times we’d hear the sat nav say stuff like “In 300 miles, keep right”. Finally, what’s next for Al B Damned? Well, we have a handful of shows coming up, we’ll release the acoustic album and then it’s into the studio early next year to record our new full-length album. We have a ton of songs written and we’re planning to really go up a gear in terms of production. We want 2018 to be a big year for ABD and really give the fans the album they deserve.
UPCOMING SHOWS 08th Sep Boscombe Community Fair 27th Oct Sound Circus 28th Oct Valkyrie Bar, Evesham, UK 08th Dec Facebarmageddon Festival, Reading,
Yeah, we can’t wait. It’s really nice to be a part of something like that. With regards to adult content, ABD will always have those horror themes, it’s not something we would suppress for a show. Swearing-wise, our lyrical content has matured since our early recordings and our set doesn’t have that much in anymore. Hopefully we won’t get too many complaints. Genre wise you guys are treading the fine line between punk and metal, do you think there is a divide between these two genres, how do the crowds differ when you play to them and have you ever been a victim of the booking cliche ‘too metal for punk, too punk for metal’? Fans of “Alternative” music are some of the most accepting and musically broadminded people we’ve met. Sure, not everyone’s going to get it or enjoy the music but we just like having fun, no matter who we’re playing to. Some shows really surprise you, we supported Mushroomhead last year and we thought people would hate us, but we went down really well. What’s the most ‘shocking’ thing you’ve done on stage, and do you feel the need to top the antics of some of the other shock rock groups around? I was pierced through the back and suspended from hooks for a music video. That was pretty crazy. Also, I used to come on stage in a coffin but we didn’t do these to shock or compete with other bands, we just wanted to put on a

BOSCOMBE
COMMUNITY
FAIR
Boscombe Community Fair was founded way back in 1995. In a time when local events and festivals hadn’t yet permeated the mainstream and for many years it truly was the only outdoor music event of it’s kind in Bournemouth.
material and their own compositions. Subgiant are a live electronic band who have become a staple part of any festival diet. Performing at nearly every major festival across the country. Whilst Pronghorn are local favourites who once ran the much lauded Endorseit In Dorset festival.
That first event was 22 years ago this year, the event has taken the rough with the smooth, but always managed to find a way forward.
In addition to the main stage there is a new addition this year with the Shebang stage. Primarily focussed on Punk and Rock, this stage features acts like Al. B. Damned (read feature on page 11) and The Sporadics. The Shebang Stage will be raising money for The Sophie Lancaster Foundation and has raised over £10,000 for charity in the past seven years.
Unlike most other local events, BCF is run entirely by volunteers who do not take a wage. The event is organised by the local community, for the local community. It may sound like a cliche but it’s true, without this approach and ethos, Nik Turner it could be argued that BCF wouldn’t have seen the longevity it has enjoyed. This year the event returns to Kings Park with a huge lineup. Headlining the main stage are Nik Turner’s Space Ritual, Subgiant and Pronghorn. Space Ritual are a space rock band, formed in 2000 fronted by Nik Turner (Hawkwind), and composed principally of former Hawkwind members. They play a mix of early Hawkwind
On top of the music, Boscombe Community Fair seeks to represent every nook and cranny of the local creative scene. As such you’ll find pieces of artwork from local artists, poetry performances, dance performances and even the Boscombe famous Dog Show on Sunday. BCF aims to bring the festival experience to the doorstep of local residents who may otherwise be unable to attend other outdoor summer events. With the cost of most festivals rising, it’s a delight to see prices for this event remaining massively affordable. Weekend tickets for adults are just £15 with family discount offers available. Only able to make it for one day? No problems, day tickets are just £7.50 for adults and £5 for youth tickets.

THE SUB:SECTION
drum&bass | jungle | bassline
by Harry D-Tox This month for the Box Fulla Records Sub:Section we catch up with Connor Threadingham, promoter of local Bournemouth event Back To Bass:ics, which has been making some big moves since its launch. First things first, thanks for taking the time to talk to us so near to your event at Halo in Bournemouth on 8 th September, I can imagine you’re all flat out with promo and getting everything ready for the night, but before we go into that, lets touch base on how and when Back To Bass:ics was started and who are the team behind it? Ok, so BACK TO BASS:ICS was founded by myself and Toby Adams (Ultrah), my girlfriend Farrah James is also a main face behind all of it! There’s also a certain amount of friends who are also a great help with the promo of the event. BACK TO BASS:ICS was launched on June 16th back in 2015. We had GUV headlining and what a night it was! If I remember rightly i think we nearly hit the 400 people mark, and for our first event we were over the moon! You guys pretty much do all your events at Halo, probably one of Bournemouth’s best looking venues as it’s an old converted church, slap bang in the middle of town and holds about 750 clubbers. What’s it like working with a venue like that and have you got any plans to take the brand on road? Our main events are always at Halo yes, me personally, I love the club! I hear a lot of hate towards the club for DB nights within the scene and from my personal experience working with them and attending nights there, I can’t understand why? The production that goes into that place is insane! I think that the way we set our nights up there works well, we always have a stage down in front of the decks for the MCs, which they don’t usually have if you were to go to a regular night in Halo, which creates an ‘up close and personal’ vibe which ravers/ artists love! What can someone who has never been to a Back To Bass:ics event expect? If you’re into your jump up drum and bass rollers then make sure you check us out! With the best headline DJS MCs there is plus some of the rawest local talent to support. You won’t be disappointed! The production at your events always seems high calibre with its laser shows, LED visuals, C02 cannons and pyrotechnics. Was that the vision from the outset or is it something that has developed over time? Most of the credit for the production has to go to the guys at Halo, their set up is second to none and them guys have it looking like a festival in there every time! A couple of times we have gone to the effort to book in some extras, for example the pyros we had in for NU: ELEMENTZ Birthday bash, the scenes were phenomenal!

Your brand really seems to be flying the flag for Jump Up. Is this intentional and what artists and labels have you brought to Bournemouth so far? I guess so yeah, the initial idea was to focus on the jump up but also bring in a few names away from the jump up side of things. First reason is a lot of the new generation ravers and youngsters are into their jump up and it seems to be the flame that’s burning the hottest at the moment. Second reason is our love for jump up, don’t get me wrong we love all spectrums of drum and bass but jump up in my eyes gives the most energy, especially with the variety of top MCs that come from the jump up side. Nothing better than 2 sick MCs going back to back, bar for bar over on a high energy set! .. Do you think it’s important to use the traditional methods as well as modern when it comes to promo and what is the funniest thing that’s happened whilst out flyering? I’m gunna hold my hands up on this one and say for a few of our events I’ve been shall we say too comfortable’ with the modern day methods lol, we always do some sort of flyering, it always helps! I know you’ve got plans to start live streaming with your residents and other guests, when is this officially happening and how often can we look forward to be tuning in? Yes, the idea is to do a weekly livestream for a couple, maybe 3 hours with different guests every week, I’ve already spoken to a fair few DJs & MCs to get them involved so it’s already looking like there is gunna be some bad boy combinations! Most of the guests will be local and up coming artists however a few big names will grace the deck now and then! When its gunna start is not confirmed yet, but it won’t be long! Finally, thanks again for talking to us, what’s in the pipeline for Back To Bass:ics and where can we follow and support your movements? It’s been a pleasure. We’ve got another smasher lined up for 9th December and all details will be revealed soon, and also a few smaller nights lined up at Bomo Bunker Eden. Another highlight of our run so far is the recent takeover for room 2 for Enter Drumfunk as they host probably the biggest label in drum and bass, HOSPITAL RECORDS on the 7th October. If you are a Dorset based promoter, record label or artist of Jungle/ DB and would like to be featured in the Sub:Section, get in contact with myself at Box Fulla Records through our email boxfulla@mail.com

www.rock-regeneration.co.uk GREYSIDE Ep Launch Show Review Those of you who are regular readers to this magazine and my column will know that I’m always on the lookout for new original music, you won’t find me in a venue on a Saturday night watching a covers or tribute band, and I honestly don’t see the point. In August I came across a new band that I have heard a few whispers about before but never seen. Bournemouth’s Greyside released their debut EP at Mr Kyps in Poole and what I witnessed gave me faith that there are still gems out there on the Dorset music scene worth searching for. The band played a set containing all original tunes with thankfully not a cover in sight.
These guys are confident that their own original tunes works really well in front of an audience. They are a four piece with a big guitar sound that have influences coming from many of the great British bands of the past. Though still young they have clearly delved into their parents record collections or looked on You Tube finding some inspiration. You can hear sounds by classic bands like The Cure and Joy Division, but they have not just copied what they have heard like most bands do they have worked with it to forge their own unique take on the traditional guitar, bass and drums sound. Front man Brandon has a great vocal range and a commanding stage presence. They are by no means the finished article as I’m sure these guys have plenty more in the tank.
The 5 track Balloon EP was recorded with the help of Matthew Musial at Bournemouth Burrow studio. Matthew has been a huge supporter of local music for a long time playing in bands including Beartown Zodiac and Not Made in China. His experience at the helm has been a great benefit to these four young musicians who have made a debut record that they can be proud of.
