Invitations
Dec. 2nd, 2009 08:26 pmTwo excellent things are going to be happening within ten days of each other, and I feel the need to promote them shamelessly. If you are, or are able to be, in Oxford, I'd love to see you at either.

deathbyshinies
Place: The Cellar
Date: Tuesday 8 December
Time: 8.30pm
Cost: Free
DJdeathbyshinies takes to the decks once again. The first thirty people to arrive for her set will get a free stamp for all-evening entry, so why not come along to grab your free entry, hear her show the Intrusion DJs how it should be done, and then take a break to get a decent drink elsewhere? Your stamp'll get you in free whenever you choose to come back.. Alternatively, the goths in the corner will certainly be happy to lace you into your corsets and smear you with eyeliner. I shall be rallying the troops (and needing someone to lace me into my corset..) in the Three Goats' Heads from 7pm.
Many Awesome Bands
Place: The Z02diac
Date: Saturday 19 December
Time: 6.30pm
Cost: £10 (£5 if you tell me by Thursday 10 December, or get them yourself from band@borderville.com)
Electric Six, Eureka Machines, and Borderville. (Cherish them!) Jaw, meet floor. You will not find camper punk-rock, you will not find happier goth-rock, you will not find more intellectual glam-rock, you will not find darker pop-rock, you will not find me anywhere else. Because, inexplicably, the whole world has not fallen under the thrall of Borderville, I provide yet another enticement: I've played you the music. I've dissected the meaning. But have you seen the charisma that these men have? The electrifying stage-presence, the showmanship, the artistry?
I wish I could show you what it feels like to be in the front row at one of their gigs. But I can't - videos of gigs are always so grainy, and from such a distance - so you can have the closest thing I've found; it's a stripped-down version of one of their songs, recorded for BBC Oxford. Musically and aesthetically, I'm sad that it lacks the bassist and the drummer, and some of the more spectacular costumiery; but it's the closest I've seen to the electricness of seeing them live.
