A SLY look back at JUNE Reviews of all the best gigs, art, clubs, stage and cinema over the last month in Bristol

Beach Break Live 2010 Monday 14th until Friday 18th June 2010 @ Pembrey Country Park, South Wales Featuring Performances From: Plan B, Vampire Weekend, Ellie Goulding, Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, The Futureheads, I Blame Coco, Calvin Harris, Beardyman, Chase And Status, Annie Mac, Scratch Perverts Beach Break Live, founded by Celia Norowzian and her boyfriend Ian Forshew three years ago, has become the UK’s largest student festival, growing from a mere 1,000 students in its first year to welcoming 17,500 students to its new location in Pembrey Country Park in South Wales this June. With a 7 mile stretch of sandy beach recognised to be amongst Europe’s most beautiful within walking distance of the main arena and campsite, as well as over 2000 acres of stunning forestry surrounding the festival site, the new and permanent home of Beach Break Live answered every student’s prayers of a dream location where they could put their recently completed exams behind them and get ready for the summer ahead. With past acts having graced the stages of Beach Break including The Cribs, Dizzee Rascal and Friendly Fires, this year’s line-up boasted the likes of Plan B, Vampire Weekend and Ellie Goulding. The three days and nights of music were kicked off by Beach Break veterans Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip. Despite their set being almost identical to that of previous years (including recycled props from Beach Breaks gone by), a couple of new songs were thrown into the mix and the crowd embraced their unique brand of humour as the sun set on the first day. Plan B and The Futureheads proved equally as popular with the crowd but none could top the awe that Vampire Weekend inspired as headliners. Their pitch perfect and infectiously summery tunes such as Holiday and Cousins were undoubtedly a highlight of the festival.

During the festival’s second day, the mid-afternoon shift on the main stage was manned by newcomers I Blame Coco; Coco Sumner’s ethereal vocals provided the perfect soundtrack to wandering students discovering the hidden gems Beach Break had to offer. When a Beach Breaker isn’t lounging on the grass as the front of the main stage, sunbathing on the nearby beach or drinking warm ciders back at camp, they can be found occupied by various activities: Some relaxing, such as vintage clothes and jewellery shopping, fish therapy and massages available in Lost Gardens area, to those that are a little more active like making sand sculptures, participating in street theatre and paint fighting. Other free activities such as fat suit assault courses and pole dancing workshops provide ample amounts of comedy value for your dollar. In the evening the focus is back on the music as Ellie Goulding’s light voice in Starry Eyed is carried perfectly by the fading light. Calvin Harris follows as the second day’s main headliner, throwing down beats which could get the most hungover of students fighting their way to the front. After final night performances on the main stage by an incredibly entertaining Beardyman and energetic production duo Chase And Status, the throngs of students were not done with their dubstep and preceded in their masses to Merlin’s Forest dance tent where Annie Mac and Scratch Perverts topped of a scorching festival with a bit more sweat. Beach Break Live 2010 provided the utmost any festival goer can hope for; perfect weather, an amazing setting, great vibe but most importantly a food stall dedicated to mash potato. www.beachbreaklive.com Shazia Khawaja Photos by Laura Palmer

Pete Roe Sunday 13th June 2010 @ Louisiana, Bristol With Support From: Pepino Ethereal urban foxes Pepino screech to the heavens and ask questions why. Blythe Pepino’s passion comes with ease as she recalls the situations from which these comical and hearty lyrics originated. Clutter, a response to the pains of cleaning other people’s houses, is a thumper of a tune, and their wistful beauty of a song about growing up in the country (not written by Pepino) is rose-tinted and beautiful. The violins and cello add to the juxtaposed sounds of soft, drawn out vocals and gutsy, propelling sounds. Like a Tori Amos/Imogen Heap/ Tinkerbell with balls – they’re a contemporary girl de force and unavoidably likeable. Tonight’s headliner is a legend of Bristol; a folk hero and possessor of pouring, deep, friendly eyes; he is Pete Roe and puts on a triumphant show. Everyone at the Louisiana obviously adored him, with many clearly far from previously untouched by him indeed there were some heavily staunch Roe supporters. As a consequence of this love in the air, together with the home turf, there was an extremely pleasant and relaxed performance and atmosphere tonight.

With his flat cap and beard, Pete Roe is much the West Country Dickensian character, strumming his guitar, chatting and rhyming his ballads and hodowns. His songs are golden and honest but also have an oldie England charm with a smattering of nineteenth century cheeky, poetic street fellow in them. As he moved to “Landan” not so long ago and has since hit the good times with Communion, Laura Marling and Mumford And Sons et al., Pete could easily have become a Brick Lane symbol, a Shoreditch savvy squire, but he hasn’t. Pete Roe still retains his joyful, heart warming appeal. He chats of how he left his bag of clothes at home in London and has since been hitting the charity shops for everything – apart from his shoes, which he got from M&S. There isn’t an iota of diva in that man. I think everyone wants him to be their friend. You could take him to your Granny to restore her faith in ‘the young’. The EP tracks Pete performed had an intimacy and tenderness, proving he is up with the some of the best folkers around. The last two songs, including favourite The Devil’s Dancefloor, contrasted to these swayers with some serious vibrancy - the guest fiddle player adding explosions of sound with his snappy and elongated strings. Like a glinting summer’s evening lolling with friends, it was all very rosy - a good show and a proud crowd. www.myspace.com/peteroe Helen Martin

Sky Larkin Tuesday 22nd June 2010 @ Louisiana, Bristol Leeds based trio Sky Larkin were in sunny Bristol to sort out some business. While in town they decided to play music at the Louisiana. To get ready for the release of their new album, Kaleide on Wichita records, the place was decked out with artwork that came courtesy of designer Jack Hudson. Extra lights were moved in to make the evening a special gig for Sky Larkin. Although it was a bit last minute, the people of Bristol turned out to wish them well. Sky Larkin were in a typical upbeat mood, especially as they are in a city singer/guitarist Katie Harkin enjoys for the gardens and hot air balloons. Using the gig to play material from their new release did not disappoint. Title track Kaleide made an appearance featuring guitars that flip from mushy riffs to lush chordal harmonies. Katies’ voice soars over everything, the lyrical hooks make it ideal for the leading single. Their casual approach to the gig was evident by song intros being pulled together initially but tightened up when drummer Nestor Mathews joined in with his relentless enthusiastic pounding of his kit. Song starts were tighter by the mid point. Douglas Adams kept textures varied with dynamic bass playing and swapping to synth for some numbers. Former cassette single Antibodies was also a highlight of the night. Sky Larkin’s sound is the perfect mix of twee niceness and grungy rawness. A huge range of influences are evident from the Queens Of The Stone Age riffage and heartfelt pop lyrics. Definitely worth seeing these guys as their tunes will rush through you and leave you foot stomping and loving life. www.weareskylarkin.com Chris Mulligan

A Day At The Races Sunday 20th June 2010 @ Louisiana, Bristol With Support From: The Bird And The Magicians, The Terrabangs, Guiltless Adam Despite what has been a less than exciting performance from the England team in the World Cup so far, football fever had hit the Louisiana big time for A Day At The Races’ “Official World Cup Gig” where support was specially selected by the band to celebrate the tournament. The Bird And The Magicians opened the night. Despite their age, the young foursome put on a consistent set of intertwining guitar lines. The obligatory football cover of the night was a cheeky rendition of the Match Of The Day theme which, tongue-incheek as it was, set the mood for the night. Highlight of the set was their Horrorsesque Slap On Your Face. Groovy yet sinister rhythms and lovely lady vocals from singer/bassist Betty Belsten were a treat for dancing feet. Following them was sort of a comeback gig for Bristol band, The Terrabangs. With a new line-up and new songs they blasted through a set of hard, grungy noise with barely time to tune. Guitarist James Stockhausen kept proceedings lively by jousting about stage and not letting up on feedback. New song Hazy went down well with some tasty slide guitar reminiscent of Queens Of The Stoneage. The “least football band in Bristol” made special effort for the gig by covering the tediously linked in Hocus Pocus by Focus.

Guiltless Adam were next up with some epic indie. More admirable for their songs than their engagement, they steamed through their set of anthems. Guitars drenched in reverb and frontman Jack Bristow singing from the heart, the authenticity ran through the performance, from speedy Jenny’s Song to slow builder Flags climaxing the set. No football song from them but all was forgiven; shoe gaze and Vindaloo would have never worked. Just as the whistle blew on Brazils’ win over the Ivory Coast, old favourites, A Day At The Races, take to the stage. Attired in matching England shirts, their classic indiepop made them as lovable as ever. Frontman George Rigden was naturally joking with the crowd about his heartbreaking crushes that are so often the subject of songs. Sanjay Patel added nice touches with his dynamic lead guitar playing. Their songs are hits. Their automatically catchy choruses of such songs like Mixed Signals and Patricia (that’s PaPa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Patricia!) make them a joy to hear and sing along to. Taking a chance to debut new material did not disappoint either. As they masterminded the night, the band took great joy in covering Three Lions which went down a treat in the typical all singing, all dancing style we love from The Races. Having been this together for a long time and taking steps out of the Bristol scene, how long can it be before we see A Day At The Races take on the dizzying heights of jangley guitar pop stardom? www.myspace.com/adayattheracesmusic Chris Mulligan Photos by Tom Moore

Upfest 2010: The Urban Paint Festival Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th June 2010 @ Tobacco Factory, Bristol www.upfest.co.uk

Late one Friday night, you stumble out of a club in town desperate for something to eat to soak up that last tequila, kebab u like calls and you rummage around to check you finances, damn! The age old debate, kebab or taxi and you really don’t feel like walking all the way back to Filton! The lovely people at Bristol City Council have removed that agonizing decision all together. Have your kebab, eat it, and still get driven home at the end of the night, what could be more perfect? The Night-Flyers or night buses –operate between the hours of midnight and 6am, on Friday and Saturday nights and have been revolutionizing the kebab/taxi debate in Bristol over the last few years. Eight routes operate along the main bus routes of Bristol, leaving the city centre every hour on the hour taking no more than 30 minutes to drop you off somewhere along that route, not only that but the fantastic lift home only costs a staggeringly cheap £2.50. The council operate these services for us, the people of Bristol, and after having just discovered their reliable and decent service, I really don’t think I will travel any other way

The Hobbit Wednesday 16th until Sunday 20th June 2010 @ Hippodrome, Bristol Bilbo Baggins is a quiet and contented hobbit. He lives a pleasant, calm life in his hobbit hole in the Shire but his life is turned upside-down when he is chosen by Gandalf the Sorcerer to join Thorin Oakenshield, the exiled King of the Dwarves, on his quest to reclaim their kingdom and treasure. It is the story of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit, the best selling fantasy novel ever written. It’s a boisterous, addictive and gargantuan adventure that spans mountains, lakes, forests and skies, where you encounter wizards, wolves, goblins, trolls, bears, elves, giant eagles, giant spiders, dragons, dwarfs and treasure and the whole kit and caboodle has been brought to life in Bristol on the broad and glamorous stage of the Hippodrome. Trying to stage such a boundless quest is an incredible challenge but the company manage it amicably, cleverly using two large revolving pieces of scenery in an abundance of combinations to recreate houses, caves, trees, rocks, towns and dungeons. The large cast too have to constantly change characters and costumes to recreate all the wild men and monsters we meet on the journey. Such constant changing could have got very confusing and annoying but the sturdy

presence of Christopher Llewellyn as Bilbo Baggins, the flustered but good hearted hobbit, kept the audience hooked all the way. Bilbo shares our thoughts and fears throughout the adventure with a charming innocence but we always suspected the hobbit had more to him than even he knew and by the final scene, he excels himself and becomes the real, honourable hero. The greatest thing about this production is how faithful they have remained to the original book. Almost every scene, encounter and character has been brought to life here (some more successfully than others) as they give it a real go. This is also one of the downsides to the production; the desire to include absolutely everything from the book means there is a hell of a lot to get through and scenes and dialogue is often rattled through at a dizzying pace with the audience struggling to keep up. When a scene is allowed to take its time though the quality of the story is able to rally shine through; most notably in the excellent encounter with Gollum in the deep caverns of the mountain as the creature and Bilbo try and outwit each other. An interesting production of a classic adventure that any fan of Tolkien can’t fail to enjoy. www.thehobbittour.co.uk

The Crucible Monday 14th until Saturday 26th June 2010 @ Bristol Old Vic, Bristol Arthur Miller’s The Crucible holds a lingering echo over the theatrical universe. Not only is it staged and studied through out the world but also it is renowned among critics as one of Miller’s finest works. With this in mind, it is always a challenge to tackle such a text and bring with it some kind of originality to set your piece apart from the 5000 or more versions of the “I’ve done an Arthur Miller play” back catalogue. Set in 1962 during the Salem Witchcraft Trials, the play deals with themes of guilt, blame, sin, conscience and personal identity. Do you tell the truth and deny you are a witch and then face death or do you lie, sign your name away and keep your life? In this production we witness these characters battle against spiritual fulfillment and material achievement and the internal motives of hypocrisy which drive it. Using history as a double entendre to explore McCarthyism, Miller successfully creates a story with yet another tragic victory. The aspiring students of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School have a concrete mixer full of excellence and this production flies to become one of their finest yet. While they stay modestly true to the text, they use the space and relationships to engage the audience and though it is three and a half hours long, each interaction and its believable honesty will have you and time parting ways. Who cares what time it is? This play is amazing!

The set design is simple yet superb. Its basic structure leads to enjoyably slick scene changes and the metaphoric interpretations derived from the set circle how the Salem community is feeling. The wooden planks jutting into the space is threatening and suggests an atmosphere one might find at the hangman’s noose. Likewise, the costumes are aesthetically pleasing and individual to each character pairing, apart from Abigail Williams and the girls who look like a hoard of sheepish banshees as they are identically dressed. This hints at the fickleness of gangs and highlights their naivety and willingness to follow the leader (Abigail), something John Proctor rejects. This I think is one of the most important concepts to dramatise, as John Proctor’s death at the close of the play is a victory for spiritual fulfillment and individualism. Jack Bannell (John Proctor) has a tremendous stage presence and, as they say, he’s not just a pretty face. His closing speech had a tragic intensity which is worthy of the West End. Despite the language, which is sometimes unaccommodating for a modern audience, the Bristol Old Vic team successfully portrays a dramatic masterpiece which is both educating and entertaining. www.oldvic.ac.uk Kayleigh Cassidy

Random Tuesday 8th until Saturday 12th June 2010 @ Bristol Old Vic, Bristol Debbie Tucker Green has one actress only in her play, Random. There are no props, curtains or anything else to disrupt the audience’s attention from this one human being on stage. She is a mother, a father, a daughter, work-mates, school mates, police and victim. With a mixture of body language, flowing poetic words and jarring looks and sounds, she morphs into the different characters. This could have been massively confusing and frustrating for the audience but it was easy to follow and utterly mesmerising. The play begins with a normal day in an urban area. We watch the family in their routine, through the actress. Her single presence focuses all attention on the rhythmic script; getting up, off to school, off to work, sitting at home with Phil and Holly - a normal and very likeable family, the play begins humorously. Just past 2pm however and something hideous and completely random strikes. “Random” means haphazard and arbitrary. It wasn’t their fault, they weren’t targeted and it was just by chance that it happened to them. Your child/brother/friend was stabbed. And died. Yes. But it could have been anyone. The word’s meaning, no matter how many times repeated will never have the affect of relieving the pain felt by the family of a murdered child. Random maybe indiscriminate but it still hits someone: The Random. Her child, his son, her brother. “Death used to be for the old” – Sister. The whole ‘cast’ are propelled into shock and, surrounded by sympathisers and support workers, the sister finds herself escaping to her brother’s room. Anyone who has a brother can understand that the hovel of the brother’s room is totally out of bounds but there she sits and sits with no repercussions. It’s awful. There’s no escaping the thoughts whirring round during and after this play. It is beautiful, tragic and unlike many plays, what happens in it could happen to you. It’s Random, and it’s a great play. www.bristololdvic.org.uk Helen Martin

Recommended Art for July in Bristol Otto Zitko and Louise Bourgeois: Me Myself and I Saturday 24th April until Sunday 11th July 2010 @ Arnolfini, Bristol Austrian artist, Otto Zitko’s expansive, abstract drawings, improvised across the walls of cultural institutions around the world, seem to emerge from an unbounded desire to cover every surface; a primal urge to contain the whole of reality within a subjective cocoon of unbroken lines. In response, Louise Bourgeois presents an intensely personal suite of sixty drawings called JE T’AIME, made in 2005, which, by contrast, seem to emphasize the centrality of relationships in what it is to be human. www.arnolfini.org.uk

The Spectrum of Human Understanding Saturday 17th until Wednesday 21st July 2010 @ Centrespace, Bristol This exhibition pays homage to the nature of our understanding toward us and of our environment as human beings.
