This is the latest New Slang Mailout. Enjoy! Tubelord have been creating a massive buzz in Kingston and beyond with their unpredictable awkward-pop post-hardcore. They are a bit special and we're watching them on every step of their rise to immeninent stardom.
On top of that we have Banquet Records' and The Steal's
Dave House playing for us. Before joining the Banquet staff and before being in hardcore-punk band The Steal, Dave was writing beautiful Weakerthans / Billy Bragg / Frank Turner esque acoustic pop. Now, toward the beginning of his UK tour he calls in to his home town to promote his third (and arguably best) album. Check out
Banquet Records for more on this release.
Dave's tour support,
A Broken Robot are opening the night. Get down early to check their Tellison-styled indie rock.
New Slang is an 18+ event, so please bring valid photo ID.
New Slang is at McCluskys and is the same night run by the same group of people that cobbled together some kind of Frank Turner show at The Works in October 2006. After the bands, the club night follows. It's our indie/alternative night for the people of and around Kingston, and we love doing it. But why not write on the wall of the
facebook event any requests of tracks you'd like to hear afterwards?
McCluskys is only a few minutes walk from our old home at The Works; it's on Riverside Walk right next to Kingston Bridge. If you still don't know where it is, click on the map below!
Remember, McCluskys has cheap drinks prices! Pints of Fosters, Strongbow, and glasses of wine at ?2, Vodka and mixer for ?2.30 and a free shot if you or your mate signs up to the mailing list at the front door. And don't forget,
you can get a pound off entry with a flyer. So if you don't have a ticket already it will be ?4 with a flyer, or with a print out of this e-mail, or ?5 otherwise. You can get advanced tickets from Banquet Records! You can get a flyer which you can get from Banquet Records, McClusky's, Knights Park bar and Natterjacks.
Next Thursday, we're stoked to be welcoming
The Rumblestrips back to New Slang. Their music has been a staple part of the New Slang aural diet since day one and they're here to play new and old songs alike..

Banquet site for updates!
Don't forget to check out the releases we've got on our own
New Slang Records label! Out now is the very-limited split 7" from
Frank Turner and
Fighting With Wire from when they played our club night together! These are going fast. We've also got leftover copies of the exclusive
Johnny Foreigner 7" we gave away on the night they play New Slang. Seriously one of our favourite bands right now, so don't sleep on this one and snap one up before they're absolutely massive! Not forgetting our friends at Banquet Records have the last few copies of the
Stapleton 7", featuring two songs you won't find anywhere else, from when the band played here!
We've got new shirts! Check them out, they look absolutely amazing! We're sure a few of you get the respectful nod here. Without Minor Threat we wouldn't be here, we're sure of that much.
Don't forget to add our new New Slang Facebook group if you haven't already. It'll be the only place to get info about New Slang on Facebook from now on! If you click the logo below, it should take you straight there!
Speaking of Facebook, some dedicated souls have started compiling a list of everything we play each week. This isn't done by us, but it's an awesome idea so we approve it! Click
HERE to be taken to it if you've ever wondered what
that song is.
Thanks for reading! We'll see you Thursday!
