Good Ship weekend, scroll down re the World Cup

Hi all, Bite sized chunks as usual...

Thursday 11th
If you like your music on the rockier side then tonight is your night...
Stoner rock merchants Electric Decadence opening. Local lads Cause + Affect who are very QOTSA/Foo Fighters influenced follow and the headliners are Our Own Devices who make a quite unusual hardcore/ low fi punk noise.

£5 or £4 with print out of this.

Friday 12th
A few people have grumbled that the house night is a bit trancey, well we have listened and you will find it funkier, more vocal and more old school. DJs from 10 til 4am. Free entry before 1030

Saturday 13th
Saturday's show features 4 ace bands from 8pm and then DJ until 4am playing a mix of indie, soul, ska and club classics. We have the much vaunted Dirty Electric at the top of the bill with their dirty (!) electric (!) riffs and adoring mad for it fans, also like The Slits but better in my book The Mentalists who recently sang with Poly Styrene at Rock against Racism (well they would have done if Poly turned up!) and the electrifying riffs and pounding beats of Fear For Fever. The new kid on the block making massive waves Kate Nash opens; she's like Lily Allen's angstier sister. Kate starts about 8, Dirty Electric finish about 1130 and then DJ til 4am.

Sunday 14th
and every Sunday Dave Clarke's band, featuring loads of ace musicians playing blues, soul, funk and rock. It goes from about 630ish to midnight and is a bargainous £3 in.

WORLD CUP
Obviously most of you will be collecting Panini stickers for your nephew's, ahem. So we will be having a sticker swap before all the England games. Now as most of you know we have a massive screen at the GS with seating for nigh on 100 and standing room for more than double that but I need your ideas for what else we should be doing for the World Cup. Want to make it a celebration without being too jingoistic so if you have any ideas fire them over.

cheers
