The Others are pleased to be playing Sean McClusky’s Future Rock’n’Roll night at On The Rocks as part of the hung drawn and quartered festival on Oct 2nd. Exact stage times to be confirmed.
Press Release:

“EVERY SIX MONTHS HUNG DRAWN AND QUARTERED TAKES OVER A CREATIVE QUARTER OF THE CITY.

On October 2nd the streets of Shoreditch will be Hung Drawn and Quartered with 15 venues joining forces for one night only. Clubs, bars, galleries, churches, make-shift cinemas, strip clubs and a subterranean swimming pool will host this huge event that will be a snap shot of modern London.

The interlocking streets will be lit with projections and commissioned art pieces creating a unique experience for 3000 people.

Music:
From the electro-action of Nag Nag Nag to the punk sensibilities of FUTURE ROCK’N’ROLL to the Balearic goodness of Sunday Best the musical line-up is a who’s who of now’. Over 25 live acts and 40 Dj’s will take over the stages and soundsystems of Shoreditch in this unique event.

1 ticket purchased in advance or on the night allows access to all participating venues in the area. Check www.hungdrawnandquartered.co.uk for a full programme and opening times. Prepare for a party to end all parties: a one-off, one day celebration of all the east end has to offer.”
INVADING THE BROADSHEETS:

For anyone who missed today’s Guardian review of Alan McGee’s BBC Radio 1 Death Disco radio show here‘s a snippet about The Others:

“Going by the songs alone, the bands who attract him are fronted by scruffy urchins and are prone to promoting anarchy in the UK. For McGee, the sounds of the future are resolutely those of the past. He kicked off with a track called This Is For The People(sic) by The Others, a raw slice of anti-rich-kid punk that could have been recorded 25 years ago.”

You can probably read the whole article online if you trawl through www.guardian.co.uk for long enough.

MORE RADIO PLAYS:
Thursday - 18th Sept Alan McGee Will Open His New Two Hour Show On Radio One With The Others' "This Is For The Poor" at midnight. LISTEN TO IT!

Sadly, as you’ll all be at On The Rocks in Shoreditch to witness Bad Seeds side project The Vanity Set playing with Vic Goddard and Subway Sect and The Others you’ll have to remember to record the show.

What? More press?
This time it’s from Planet Sound (Teletext music pages) 02/09/03.

The Others - How I Nearly Lost You:

As this Brighton Band have already supported Electric Six and are managed by Sean McClusky of the influential
Sonic Mook Experiment, they’re frankly just showing off by sending their demo.

But if they want confirmation, their caustic post-punk is well worth a deal, as it shoves an Attractions spirit
and tunes to match down one’s frontal lobe.

Let’s have an Other one, please.
