| Rota | Disorder And Progress | |
|
Hereford’s Idle Hands brings an afternoon of sweetly lilting folk-pop with Ute’s progressive, shifting multi-instrumental songcraft and Nicholas Stevenson’s charming balladry. Fans of Grizzly Bear, Elliott Smith and Nick Drake should not miss. |
After a three-month
break Disorder and Progress is back at where it belongs
with DJ Gringo
Da Parada proving that chaos theory can be applied to nightlife
and everyone will be happier as a result. |

An afternoon to celebrate the release of RoTa favourites Tubelord's new EP (on sale in Rough Trade West and East!) Expect their jumpy riff-soaked chaos pop to bring down the house as always. |
Russ
Jones aka the Hackney Globe Trotter, is having
a sensational 2010. He's played to thousands at Glastonbury and at the
Roskilde festival in Denmark; he's programmed and deejayed at the best
celebration of the World Cup in London - the 25-date Afro Cup Festival
at Rich Mix; his latest club night, Arriba La Cumbia, continues to showcase
the most cutting-edge cumbia from across Latin America; he hosts a weekly
radio show on the SOAS (School of African and Oriental Studies) station
at www.openair.fm/hgt
and he even won a triathlon which he entered just for fun while DJing
in the Lebanon... |
