The launch of the RAR HOPE NOT HATE club night at Brixton Jamm

The launch of the RAR/HOPE NOT HATE club night at Brixton Jamm on friday 8th Feb was a stunning success. The club was packed out with music fans and press fired up for the usual
RAR mix of pop and politics and for some of us old-timers it was a lovely trip down memory lane so it was a pleasure to have Jerry Dammers from the Specials and Skegsy from the Ruts on hand to reminise about the good old days and to compare the visible signs of middle age. Essex lad
the Marlers got us underway followed by the Mentalists who proved once again that the judges on Channel Fours Mobile Act Unsigned know nothing. Then the Krak did their stuff and proved what a wise move it was for the Militant Entertainment lable to sign them up - they will be massive and between successive toe-tappers of the highest order they sent out an anti-bnp message to the growing crowd. Local heros the Thirst showed why they are tipped by the NME to be massive this year - Pete Doherty made it down but due to a hold up at the studio in Wandsworth wasn't able to do a tune but we all appreciated his support for this important night. And so we headed into the small hours with The Others. The lost bass player was eventually
located and the place went nuts with beer sloshed about, a stage invasion and general mayhem. Dominic Masters did the honours with an expletive laced tirade against the fascists. Top work Dom Dammers DJ'd the main bar and I stumbled off out into the south london night with me voice hoarse, me knees aching and a little bit Guinnessed up but happy that we'd done Red Saunders and the RAR legacy proud.

AND AN INTERESTING USE OF "GUERRILLA" FROM AAAMusic:

The Others @ Limonaia

Manuele Vestri - 09/02/2008

Fucecchio, IT, 31st January 2008

Another British Invasion gig at the Italian club Limonaia.

This time is up to The Others to entertain the avid italian audience.

Their fame of being rebel and to produce "guerrilla gigs" has preceeded them, and they did not fail to do so in the heart of Tuscany too.

The gig has been labelled by the crowd as the "best live" for 2008, which really gives an idea of how the performance was.

The band entertained the italian audience with tracks form their second album Inward Parts, but I suppose the audience was much more impressed with the guerilla act put on stage by Dominic rather than the actual music.

The night was a sure success and the band also enjoyed themselves, receiving compliments by everyone and also being challenged in an alcohol competition by one of the locals, who, needless to say, won it. British may have the best music, but Tuscan win in heavy drinks competitions!

  Reviews of new single Probate
• From http://www.the-mag.me.uk/Articles/Others-Probate/
  
  The Others - Probate
  
  (Lime Records)
  
  8/10 - A must-listen.
  The Others
  
  This is indie music with a dangerous bite! The Others have great tone and melody, but they also have the scope to notch up the anger for high-impact blistering moments.
  
  'Probate' has been recorded in a way that captures the electric atmosphere of a live show, while maintaining studio-quality standards. The length of the song, which is eight and a half minutes, does nothing to diminish its impact; it's plain and simple brilliant.
  
  'Looking For A Product' is like Chicane crossed with The Enemy and 'It Doesn't Matter To Me' is a tidy demo recording that provides a charming addition to the single for ardent fans.
  
  The Others have got a great sound, strong views and the determination to mix both together.

• Italia- Grazie! :)

  we've just returned from a 5 date tour of Italy and always we had a brilliant time!

  check Dom's blog as i'm sure he's sure to write up a full report of our time there.

  once again we were looked after and driven around by our friend Eric who also booked the gigs, hotels and restaurants.

  we covered a good few thousand kilometers from Rome and Bolonga to the very south in Lecce.

  it was lovely to see all our friends from previous Italian gigs, aswell as meeting lots of new people.

  also we were lucky to have the company of Sally, Katherine and Harley from the UK (thanks for putting up with/looking after us! ) cheers also to Richard who came over for the Ancona date!

  The gigs were great- made so by all of the people that turned up- and as always we were treated wonderfully by everyone.

  we very much enjoyed the usual Italian hospitality and it's safe to say we took full advantage of the plentiful alcohol etc....... it's not often Dominic has to be carried up to his room!

  from Rome to Bolongna to the beautiful town of Fuccecchio- on to our 'spiritual Italian home' Ancona and finally down to Lecce- thanks to everyone who came to the gigs, all soundguys and tecs, to Laura, Macca, Danielle, Marta, Serena, Fran, Elisa, Lucy, Molly and everyone else- and most of all to Eric- a huge thankyou!!

  see you again soon :)
