JOCK SCOT AND ROBERT RUBBISH SHAKE ON IT

so one week ago today i did meet with jock scot in the upstairs of the french house dean street soho.we did talk and enjoy the night.shine on jock xox Self-professed "poet & tragedian", Jock Scot was born in Leith in 1952 & began his career in the music industry as a renown supplier of "good vibes" to entertainers as diverse as Ian Dury & The Blockheads, The Clash, Blondie, Talking Heads, Taj Mahal, Dr. Feelgood, Viv Stanshall & Wreckless Eric. After waking up in a broom cupboard at the end of a particularly arduous tour, Jock settled in West London just as the scene there, centred around The Warwick Castle pub off the Portobello Road, was regenerating. It was at The Warwick that he began reading his poetry publicly, to the acclaim of "speed-crazed street sweepers & landed gentry" alike, his anointed raconteur's voice sounding as if it might slide off of it's bar stool at any moment, much like it's owner.

LE GUN ‘La Noche de los Alebrijes Vivientes’ OLD VIC TUNNELS

Le Gun ‘La Noche de los Alebrijes Vivientes’ Established in 2004, LE GUN is an art collective consisting of five artist illustrators and two designers who met as graduates at London’s Royal College of Arts department of communication art & design. As a team of illustrators they create idiosyncratic imagery which blends a punk, occult, pop and surrealist aesthetic. As well as being the producers of their cult self-titled magazine, the group is internationally recognised for their enigmatic installations, performances, design projects and art shows. For the Day of the Dead Festival, LE GUN have drawn on the fantastical and macabre world of Mexican Alebrijes. These hybrid animals, something like three-dimensional exquisite corpses, are the dream children of Pedro Linares who, during the 1930s while sick, hallucinated the creatures and heard voices repeating the nonsensical word: alebrijes, alebrijes, alebrijes. His creations, made from papier-mâché and cardboard, caught the attention of British Filmmaker, Judith Bronowski, and her 1975 documentary brought recognition and growth to the tradition which then spread to Oaxaca where, to this day, local artisans carve and sell alebrijes made from wood. As the surreal and the subconscious are a large part of LE GUN’s world, for the festival the group have collectively created a series of giant hanging alebrijes in the tradition of the exquisite corpse, the process bringing about the birth of imaginary beings as yet unknown. The large-scale wall drawing also occupies a strong tradition in the work of LE GUN. The particular style they developed, in which the sum is greater than the parts, is what makes LE GUN’s group aesthetic so distinctive. Commissioned by NOMAD Text by Bronwyn Carter

and a short film i have made

@ Filthy MacNasties
Wednesday 29th February 2012
7-11pm FREE ENTRY
all the info about the night is below
if free please come down
bye for now xx

Bonanza & Son (ResonanceFM) Presents
'The Gaslight’ @ Filthy MacNasties.
MUSIC•ART•LITERATURE•FILM•CULTURE

A brand new ‘Café-Art night' from club-night impresarios and radio presenters Bonanza & Son…

Bonanza & Son is now in its ninth year of promoting & presenting the best in Country, Blues, Americana and Roots Music as well as djing quality music from Country to Krautrock to cutting edge Electronic music.

For over five years Bonanza & Son have also been producing & presenting their popular weekly radio show on Resonance 104.4FM
(Every Monday evening 11pm-Midnight with repeats Sunday afternoons 1-2pm) as well as running numerous successful club nights and dj sets in the Capital.


'The Gaslight' launches Wednesday 29th February and will take place on the last Wednesday of every Month at Filthy MacNasties.

Named after and taking it’s inspiration from the famous Greenwich Village Café, The Gaslight Club which was a favourite haunt of the young Bob Dylan and where he premiered early songs such as ‘Masters Of War’.
Other artists to have performed there include Son House, Allen Ginsberg, Jimi Hendrix, Bill Cosby, David Bomberg, Bonnie Raitt & Bruce Springsteen.

Expect:
acoustic sets • film screenings • spoken word • performance art • book and poetry readings • private views and one-night-only pop-up art exhibitions • dance • special guest djs • comedy • political satire • puppet shows • etc…

… And what better way to spend a wintery Wednesday eve?

Live acoustic sets from
Dylan Walshe
Multi-instrumentalist, troubadour and Strummerville featured stompin' one man band harmoniser Dylan Walshe will entrance and entertain you with his captivating stories carried all the way from Dublin to London.

He has been likened to such diverse and disparate acts as Billy Childish to Noel Gallagher and to the Blues masters like Mississippi John Hurt in equal measures or indeed any of the original Bluesmen like Leadbelly, Sonny Boy Williamson or Robert Johnson all melded together to give us something fresh in the vein of Steve Earle aboard a steamboat full of modern Sea Shanties and Celtic tales carried all the way from Dublin to London and back again.

We also think there's more than a touch of Nick Cave in Dylan’s songs as well as his namesake tucked in there too which is no bad thing.

George Frakes
George Frakes is an astonishing, young talent with his consummate fingerpicking and exquisite songwriting; he’ll be taking us on a spiritual journey upon a magic-carpet ride of Neo Psychedelic Folk, nodding respectfully to the likes of Nick Drake, John Martyn, Bert Jansch or even Hank Williams and emerging mysteriously from the mists of North London dressed and draped impeccably, as he does in paisley, velvet, corduroy and fur with song-smithery to match

Book Reading from
Pete Bennett (Monkey Island/The Dublo)
Front man of not one but two of Stoke Newington's finest bands, Monkey Island and The Dublo, Rennaissance man Pete Bennett will read from one of his books which include 'The Occassional Diary of an Opportunist Football Fan’ which was described as 'The opening book of the season . . . a salty tale of promenades, Punk-Rock, politics, family and... erm, football!'

Pop-Up Exhibition/Private view
Robert Rubbish
Exhibition of paintings and drawings from the eccentric, big grin-bearing, wild-haired, snappy-suited eccentric co-founder of Le Gun magazine and one half of Victorian-Punk revivalists The Rubbishmen. Robert Rubbish presents a special ‘pop-up’, private view of recent work which has included paintings and exquisite drawings based on life, love, hate, death and facial hair!

At a recent show at Rough Trade East he exhibited a number of portraits of musicians who famously sported facial hair. Robert is inspired as much by comedy emporiums and joke shops as he is by classical art and artists such as James Ensor and has been known to call some of his work 'joke shop pop art'.

His apocryphal and anachronistic record covers represent Robert's desire to find albums that he has been hoping to track down for years such as ‘The Complete Works Of Egyptian Ska' or 'The Greatest Hits From The Cosmic Toilet'.

As well as Le Gun Robert also publishes 'Los Pistolos' - a low tech publication with a punky, London/Mexican vibe heavily influenced by underground comics and punk zines of yesteryear.

Rubbish has exhibited extensively and internationally with recent shows in Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Japan and even China. He is currently working on a feature-length, espionage movie set between Jersey & London.

The exhibition will run for one month.
