Essay Like Nephew + The Seal Club Clubbing Club + Mike Dignam
Thursday, 6 August
Vibe Bar, 91 Brick Lane, Whitechapel, E1 6QL
How Much:
£6.00 (Entry)
Technology and music have had a long and illustrious history that began when some dude realised you could make a piano play itself. Since then we've had laser shows, electronic drums, Kraftwerk, synthesisers and head mics, all things that, as we're sure you'd agree, have made music better and enriched our lives.
In fact, it was all going fine until the internet came along and wrecked the music industry like an information super hurricane. Yeah, on one hand it has given the opportunity for rubbishy named bands from Sheffield to make it big, but on the other hand all the people illegally downloading albums from Limewire have eroded Madonna's record sales to the extent that she has been forced into cruddy PR stunts like kidnapping African children to actually make a buck.
The latest thing has been Twitter - the website that basically mimics a swanky cocktail party where you can stand next to Lou Reed and surreptitiously overhear his conversation about buying milk with his mate. But there has always been so much more potential in this format, and now some bright sparks down at Vibe Bar are pushing it to its very limits.
The idea is pretty simple - take 3 up and coming bands - Essay Like Nephew, Mike Dingham and The Seal Clubbing Club and make them compete for cash; the typical Battle of the Bands format except that the applause-o-meter is replaced by people listening along on their computers back at home. Sounds simple, but no doubt sparks will be flying off this mother like a angle-grinder fighting a belt-sander.
Now that's progress!
