The False Dots Xmas Party

The False Dots love a party and so do you, and at this time of year parties are happenstance nailed on alongside the tinsel and balloons. Happy birthday beardie bloke. So no excuse needed for this one this afternoon, luckily fronted by one of the most perfect purveyors of knees up party music known to man and indeed woman. If you don?t know yet, yer FDs are a ska punk pop sensation, with marvellous songs care of frontman Roger Tichborne, songs that hold a jaundiced mirror up to Londinium life. For fans of Madness, Ian Dury and the frothier end of post punk. Bobby Zodiac and the Clairvoyants - and you?re in for a real treat with this lot too. Combining the louche wit of the spoken word stylee front man with the smooth yacht rock stylings of the ?musician? would be sparkling and tremendous in of itself, but add an actual mermaid (pretty sure this is factually correct) to interpret said songs in dance routines that are exotic, esoteric, exquisite and other things beginning with E, and you have a recipe for slack jawed amazement. Beautiful stuff. Opening today a fabulous ska,reggae, rocksteady combo called The Monoversals. Headed up by former Joe Angel and Dubvocalisa guitarist Andrew Wessley, you need to arrive promptly at 1.30 for these guys as they are gonna set the mood like bosses of er setting the mood. Yes. DJ Tony Bugbear will supply cracking tunes betwixt and between.
