Scenery Chewer #13 - Hi How Are You?



"Don't call it a comeback" - LL Cool J

Well, we didn't stay away for long.

The new Scenery Chewer will be harder, better, faster, and stronger than before, and like a four year old little Sri Lankan boy, it will charm and dazzle you with its devastatingly good looks and stunning smile.

From now on, YOU get to curate Scenery Chewer nights. So if you, your band, your work colleagues, your arts collective, your website, your magazine, hell, even your family, want to pick some performers and artists for your own Scenery Chewer event, let me know.

To kick us off, we have a belter.

The night will celebrate the first single launch of our good friends, Record Department, with support from some cracking new faces and some lovely old ones.

Record Department (www.recorddepartment.co.uk)
Vivian Volta (www.myspace.com/voltavolta)
Calling Cairo (www.myspace.com/callingcairo)
Falling Majesties (www.myspace.com/thefallingmajesties)

Our resident DJ, the mysterious and elusive BCBG, will provide the aural fondling.

Also, we have a photography exhibition from the not-for-profit organisation R-Point (www.rpoint.org.uk).

At the end of the night, the kindly 93 Feet East will make a donation to children's music charity, Youth Music. This means that, because Scenery Chewer is solely concerned with raising money for charity rather than personal gain, this night is FREE FREE FREE.

Come play with us.

Scenery Chewer #12 - The Dust You Kick Up



"Because the dust you kick up is too fine.
Because variables lurk in the wine.
Because the bed's warm and it's cold out and that's a good sign."

Hello one and all.

Scenery Chewer is currently undergoing redevelopment work so this may be the last one for quite awhile.

To see us off though, we have put together the best line up of bands yet. Come spend a lazy Sunday in The Lexington to see the first headline performance from Paper Horse, the transcendentally glitchy tones of Victoria and Jacob, the sloppy garage fury of The BrainChildren, and the keen eye and tender tones of Robh Hokum.

Sunday September the 13. The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Rd, London, N1 9JB.

£5. All proceeds to go to Youth Music charity. (www.youthmusic.org.uk)

You know it makes sense.
