Rough Trade Shops' RoTa afternoons have been running like clockwork for 7 years now, every Saturday afternoon 4pm - 8pm. It's ALWAYS free entry. Originally started to replace the legendary Rough Trade instore performances, every week sees 3 or 4 live bands and DJs. Often there is a label showcase but sometimes not. The policy covers basically anything that is (or would be) on sale in the Rough Trade shops, taking in leftfield/alternative genres ranging from post-rock, electronica and alt-folk to fuzzy rock'n'roll and indie-pop, with all the stranger stuff in between |
The Shrine presents THE END OF THE SUMMER SHRINE: the closing ceremony for the dancefloor Olympiad... Inspired by Fela Kuti's legendary club in Lagos, the night continues to send its shiver of Afrocentric subversion through Londons club scene: DJs, dancers, live music, poetry, and visuals - the International Outlaw Posse comes out to play. The Shrine showcases "..African sounds that are rootsy yet cutting edge, progressive and damn funky, and presents leading players in the red-hot Afro-centric music scene - its West African, South African, roots with raw funk, broken beats, hip-hop & house..
