Who said Sundays were the day of rest? Nobody here at Clash, that’s for sure.
Our acoustic Sunday Sessions at Camden’s Lock Tavern are legendary. Packed into one fine sized boozer we cram a clutch of great bands and pit them face to face with their adoring public, with some well-known bods placed behind the decks to fill the time in between bands.
This time around, Video Nasties had the unenviable task of hitting the stage first, playing to all those who’d just finished their highly delicious Sunday roasts.
Their out-of-tune guitars did little to dissuade them from putting on a great show, goaded by their staunchest fans in the front row.
"...the group relished the intimate surroundings"
After a cracking DJ set from The Boy Least Likely To (his first public outing behind the ones and twos!), it was time for the multi national wonder that is 747s.
The stripped back quartet squeezed onto the tiny makeshift stage and demonstrated to all present why they are so renowned for slaying all those who experience them. Gorgeous harmonies blended and twisted, floating out the patio doors and had all those outside peering in the window trying to find out who was making such fantastical sounds.
Night, by this time, had truly fallen, and the darkness brought with it a teeming crowd trying to force their away upstairs ahead of Cajun Dance Party’s set. The band, who are all underage and not actually supposed to be in a drinking establishment, were firmly ensconced in the upstairs office, while all those downstairs were treated to an exemplary sharing music from the discernable DJ talents of William from The Mystery Jets, whose tastes in tunes were considerably better than that of his jumpers…
With the upstairs room wall to wall with expectant faces, suitably drowned in ale and spirits, the stage was finally ready for Cajun Dance Party. Replete with a string section especially for tonight’s event, the group relished the intimate surroundings and brought the night to a head with their intricate melodies and delicate musings.
The ensuing party afterwards was awash with compliments for the youngsters, who scurried off as quick as they came, astonishingly rushing home ahead of the next day’s school.
