Neighbourhood

 Neighbourhood are yet again excited to announce the return of This is the Kit who will be playing at the Slaughtered Lamb on September 19th ahead of their European support tour with The National!

This Is The Kit is the much beloved musical project of Kate Stables, born in England and based in Paris, though the heart of their musical community remains in Bristol, UK. Kate sings, plays guitar, banjo, trumpet and percussion, while a cast of carefully hand-plucked friends deliver guitar strums, banjo plucks, hushed horns and electronic textures that sit beneath Stables’ easy, earnest lilt. Her long time collaborator and regular live companion Jesse Vernon produced the album and contributes guitars, percussion, violin and percussion. While on tour, This is the Kit is a shape shifting entity ranging from a female duo with friend Rozi Plain to a psychedelia tinged five electric five-piece. Aaron Dessner (The National) is also working with the band to produce the follow-up album to Wriggle Out the Restless, now being reissued by Aaron’s label Brassland.

Neighbourhood returns to 60 Million Postcards this month for another night of live music and mutual appreciation.

Blue Boats is the alter ego of Bournemouth-based singer-songwriter Olly Gale. He describes his music as a “cross between bedroom pop and dream pop” and no wonder. Olly’s summer slacker lyrics are reinforced with glistening synth melodies and Lo-fi guitar haze, clearly honed and inspired by his residence in a town by the beach. His first digital offering “Summer’s Down” Is a phosphorescent, beach-pop gem, waiting patiently for it’s place in the sun.

Hollow Giants are a London based indie band with foot stomping drums and an ear for climactic vocal melodies. They create swirling anthems of guitar and drum duality with the grandiosity and intricacy you would expect from larger stage lineups. They join us at postcards before their single launch, 13th March at The Sebright Arms, London
FFO: Gomez,villagers, The Antlers, Broken Social Scene.

We eagerly announce that Christmas is coming two days early for those who will attend the Lexington on the 23rd! All three acts are some of our favourite listens at the moment!  This is going to be the perfect welcome for Christmas.

This Is The Kit is the sound of Kate Stables playing banjo, guitar and a voice of unaffected  clarity accompanied by her Wild Band creating primal and electric textures onto songs of unpretentious beauty. TITK have released two albums alongside a handful of singles since 2006. They have toured in the UK, Japan and Europe and have recently toured alongside Sharon Van Etten which saw them grace the stage of Shepards Bush Empire! Guy Garvey from Elbow has described them as one of the best things he’s heard all year titling them as ‘wonderful wonderful stuff’.

Rozi Plain a Neighbourhood favourite is a singer-songwriter from Bristol via Winchester currently living in London. Her voice fills her listeners with warmth and admiration and she has a wonderful open-ness on stage. She released her stunning second album Joined Sometimes Unjoined earlier this year and has been getting the love it deserves from such music personalities as Lauren Laverne and Marc Riley. She will also more than likely be performing alongside This Is The Kit.

Sweet Baboo  is a singing and songwriting machine who over the past 10 years, has put out more records than we can mention in this small space.  In between releases he had found time to tour the world with the likes of Cate Le Bon, Slow Club as well as playing on and producing albums for friends and luminaries like Euros Childs and Pictish Trail. He has a new record out next year titled SHIPS on Moshi Moshi Records which promises to be both brass and pop tune heavy, Steve himself calls it:  ”a brass based, upbeat, underwater sounding smashpop record”.

Neighbourhood comes from it’s home in London for a monthly residency at Sixty Million Postcards. It’s a free night at a fabulous venue with great acts and it’s free !

Novella are a three piece Lo-fi guitar sound of Pixies-inspired crispness with a wallowing wall of noise, set off by melodic, interwoven bass lines and cold shoulder vocals.Having toured with Veronica Falls and Dum Dum Girls and played Camden Crawl and Great Escape this year, the band took some time out over the summer to hide in their rehearsal room and work on new material. They have surfaced with a whole new set of songs that are a truer reflection of their combined influences – Stereolab, Velvet Underground and My Bloody Valentine.

__________

Eyes & No Eyes are a four piece London-based band combining folk/post rock sensibilities with a clear love of all things experimental.

__________

Woodpecker Wooliams originally comprised of vocals and harp, the odd bell, chime + whistle they have more recently begun to encompass an altogether fuller, electronic, droney sound. Bold and Fearless.

Neighbourhood are chuffed to announce that their first show of 2012 will be headlined by one of their favourite acts The Mariners Children at the Slaughtered Lamb on Saturday 21st January!

The Mariner’s Children are a 7 piece alternative folk band that play densely textured, upbeat, heartfelt and intense folk music, meshing the intricate guitar interplay of Pentangle with the barnstorming raucousness of Arcade Fire. The band have released one stunning EP back in 2010 after  winning the right to play at the Green Man Festival. Last year they played a select handful of shows before writing their second EP which looks set to be something quite special. They will be showcasing some of their new songs at the show on the 21st!
