Suicide + Guests
Sat 2nd & Sun 3rd Nov 2002,
Mean Fiddler


If you had to name one person in London at the moment who is pulling the strings, putting on the best nights, pushing the best bands it would have to be the guy behind these two nights of mayhem at the Mean Fiddler, Sean Mclusky.

For those that don't know, Sean is the guy behind one of London's longest running club nights, Sonic Mook Experiment, and he is now spearheading his very own Future Rock & Roll crusade, pushing bands like The Liars, Ikara Cult, The Rapture, Martini Henry Riffles and so on. If you haven't already got it, do your record collection a favour and pick up the Future Rock & Roll compilation.

These two nights, headlined by the legendary Suicide (the band who wrote the classic Dream Baby Dream), promise to repeat the debauched musical mayhem of the Jubilee weekend gigs at the ICA a few months ago. On Saturday Suicide are supported by the stylish electro act Crossover (whose Fantismo album is another essential purchase) along with Pink Grease, Discordinated and Punish The Atom.

Sunday's line-up is even stronger, with the punk-funk messiness of Liars (check their They Threw Us All in a Trench... album), the hard-edged electro of Radioactive Man, plus Martini Henry Rifles, Tokyo Windbag, Kings Have Long Arms and Crack Village.

DJs on both days are Sean Mclusky, Pam Hogg, Queens of Noize, Jo Perfect and Disastronaut.

Tickets are £12 advance on both days (buy direct from the Astoria and save yourself the booking fee), and doors open at 5pm on both days.

The future is now. Have it.
