Venuewatch: Dirty Water Club winds up

After a hell of a run, The Dirty Water Club (based at The Boston Arms in London) is winding itself up. There's one last night, this Friday, which will feature The Priscillas, Lost Souls, Splinters and The November Fire.

The record label will continue; and there are plans for vague, ad hoc nights under the Dirty Water banner in the future. But the regular night? Catch it before it becomes history.

More festive stuff

If one version of Glam Chops' Christmas record isn't enough, you can download an alternative take - along with a bunch of other stuff, including Zombina & The Skeletones and The Priscillas - on Bizarre Magazine's Free album.

Klaxons hijacked by Priscillas

The revival of vinyl, what we keep reading about in the newspapers, is bringing with it the revival of one of the sweet joys of pop: the mispressing.

The Klaxons has discovered the b-side of It's Not Over Yet has, instead of a frankly pointless "unique etching" got a "mystery track" on it.

It turns out that it's actually the b-side of No Rock favourites The Priscilla's forthcoming Superstar single. Hopefully, that'll come complete with the proper b-side and not a "unique etching".
