Sinister: John Peel Day HDIF in London

[Ian Watson]

Hello!

As I'm sure you all know, today is John Peel day, a celebration of the life
and work of the legendary broadcaster and music fanatic. Countless gigs are
being staged across the UK in tribute to the great man and we're proud to be
playing a small part with our fourth HDIF Presents bill. As a mark of
respect I¹ll be playing excerpts from the 1988 Festive Fifty between the
bands and afterwards. The 1987 fifty was the next logical one to play after
our 1986 Festive Fifty tribute last year, but somehow the 1988 fifty seems
more fitting. 

The 1988 Festive Fifty is here - http://web.ukonline.co.uk/lng/Festive88.htm
I'll be playing tracks from the first half before and between the bands, and
tracks 25-1, in order, afterwards.

HDIF Presents IV
Thursday October 13th
The Windmill, Brixton, 8pm - late, £5 for non members, £3 for members

Labrador
Super suave indie popsters from Denmark, Labrador pick up where St Stienne
left off at the end of ³So Tough², with dreamy, trumpet-bolstered bursts of
pop perfection. If you¹re a fan of early Trembling Blue Stars, My Favorite
or St Etienne (of course), then you¹ll love these.

The Red Stars
A brand new band from Islington and Lambeth, The Red Stars inhabit a quietly
stylish dreamworld where Roddy Frame fronts the Tindersticks, and indiepop
is equal parts poetry, sophistication and a perfectly strummed guitar.
Formerly members of the 1940s-tinged (and Actionettes-associated) Heist.

Lucky Soul
A female fronted five piece from Greenwich, Lucky Soul sound like The
Pipettes flirting with Saint Etienne (them again!), all sleek sixties
melodies and songs to make your heart melt.
