“Brighton/London post punk FUTURE ROCK’N’ROLL lords of chaos”; The Others will be playing a FREEEEEEEE! gig as part of BBC Radio One Live In Brighton at The Hanbury Ballroom, Kemptown this Friday (31st Oct).

Despite being the headline act, noise restrictions mean that this will have to be an early show. The Others will be on around 8:30pm with a curfew at 9:30pm. Support comes from In Vitro and Moonface. The venue opens around 6pm.

The next day we’ll be playing another free gig at our rehearsal gaff; Ground Zero Studios on Lewes Rd, Brighton. No idea of what time we will be on as the seven band line-up is yet to be completely confirmed. However, bands playing are thought to include at least one or potentially all of the following: British Sea Power, 80’s Matchbox and The Electric Soft Parade. Hmmm. Might be fun!

THE OTHERS: BANNED FROM THE TROUBADOUR SHOCKER!!!!!!!

Rumours are rife that certain members of popular beat combo The Others were banned from The Troubadour Theatre after becoming embroiled in a graffiti/crack smoking incident at last night's gig.

Meanwhile, the band look forward to bringing their particular brand of entertainment to Alan McGee's The Queen Is Dead Club night on Friday 24th Oct at The Borderline, Soho and have also arranged a date in Brighton town late next week as part of the BBC Radio One Live event. More details to follow.

BACK TO CHERRY JAM:

It's been a while. We've been sampling the finest sea breezes Brighton has to offer and writing new songs. Next Tuesday (14th Oct) why not head down to Royal Oak to witness The Others play, amongst the old favourites, the two new songs which we debuted at Hung Drawn And Quartered? Grab a drink, welcome to our cafe, pick a good seat and brace yourselves. Nearest Tube: Royal Oak. Cheers!

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.”
by Maddy Costa

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.

Our Death Disco date:
Notting Hill Arts Club, The Others onstage at 9pm
If anyone missed The Others on Xfm fear not. Rumour has it that later this month Alan McGee will be playing some songs off our most recent demo on Radio 1!

The Music Industry continues to wake up to The Others!

Excuse the short notice of this, but we’ve only just found out ourselves.

The Others’ “This Is For The Poor” will be played on Xfm tonight (3rd Sept) on Clair Sturgess’s show just after 10pm.
If you don’t live in London, you can listen online www.xfm.co.uk

Listen well.

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.
