Pioneering record label celebrates its first decade!
First launched
ten years ago with the Fruit Machine
compilation, London label Blang Records was born out of the monthly Blang
nights at celebrated West End venue, The 12 Bar Club. Now a decade on, the
label celebrates this significant anniversary with an 18-track compilation of
their favourite artists along with not one but two birthday parties on
consecutive Thursdays back where it all started (nearly) at the (newly
relocated) 12 Bar!
Started by
label supremo Joe Murphy and his Sergeant Buzfuz project around the dawn of the
century, the Blang nights were then labelled after burgeoning ‘antifolk’ scene,
which had spread wings from New York’s East Village, bringing with it the likes
of Jeffrey Lewis and Moldy Peaches and a penchant for punk-folk storytelling
with edge and humour. Blang was the first club night in London to embrace this
vibrant scene and word spread like wild hot cakes.
Alongside
Buzfuz, other homegrown acts like Filthy Pedro, David Cronenberg’s Wife and
Malcolm Kaksois would follow under the antifolk banner, but by the time of the Fruit Machine compilation – a response
by Murphy to a suggestion from The Band Of Holy Joy’s Johny Brown – it was
clear that such a heading was inadequate for the diverse joys that Blang had to
offer.
And diversity
is the key to Lucky Dip – within its
grooves you will find both folk and antifolk, along with punk, funk, rock and hip-hop.
Buzfuz, Pedro, Kaksois and DCW are here of course, plus contributions from
indie chart stars Milk Kan, Sheepy, Thee Cee Cees, Emily Capell, Paul Hawkins
& The Awkward Silences, Lucy’s Diary, Dexter Bentley, Slate Islands, Matt
Dolphin, Thomas Truax and more. A veritable roll-call of the great, the good
and the glorious.
The first of Blang’s
10th Anniversary events – Lucky Dip 1 – takes place on Thurs 1 October and features Matt
Dolphin, Slate Islands, Lucy’s Diary, JJ Crash, Sergeant Bufuz and David Cronenberg’s
Wife.
Lucky Dip 2 on Thurs 8 October features Malcolm
Kaksois, Emily Capell, Scrappy Hood (of Milk Kan), Thomas Truax, Paul Hawkins
& The Awkward Silences and Eugene Ripper.
Both events
take place at The 12 Bar Club, 203 Holloway Road, London N7 8DL. Door 7pm. £5
entry includes a FREE Lucky Dip CD.
