THINGS are hotting up on the Camden Crawl front. We’ve heard some exciting names yet to be announced but we wouldn’t dare divulge.
All we can say is that Kentish Town will be playing a much larger part this year so prepare for a little more walking – but it will be worth it.
Frankie and the Heartstrings (see interview above), play HMV Forum – alongside an as yet undisclosed mystery headliner – and Annie’s Bar, The Bull & Gate and a whole lot of other venues along Kentish Town Road will be opening their doors to the crawl’s hottest acts.
If you haven’t got your ticket yet remember this – there’ll be nothing but the royal wedding on TV that weekend...
• Don't be frightened if you see goths clad in Jack the Ripper style cloaks and top hats lingering outside Proud Camden next week. No doubt they’re fans of steampunk band Bitter Ruin – an acoustic two-piece outfit who play there on Tuesday night. Musicians Ben and Georgia are an item but take on the stage personas of lovers trapped in a destructive relationship with sinister lyrics to match.
• Supergrass may have split but that didn’t quell their creative juices. See former Supergrass bassist Mick Quinn and Paul Wilson of Shake Appeal in their new incarnation as DB Band at the Bowery (March 11).
• Heard of First Place? Apparently they’re the next big urban pop act on the cusp of making the big time. Hailing from Bristol, frontman Yomi Davies, soul songstress Allegra, 19-year-old rapper Frenzee and producer OD Hunt, have been attracting attention with new single Best of Me, which has just reached number 2 in the AKA Music Channel chart. See them at Camden Rock, Kentish Town Road on March 17.
