Rock and Pop: Latest News > March 17 - More acts added to the Camden Crawl line-up
Published: 17 March 2011
WE'VE got a Camden Crawl scoop for you this week – and it’s an extra motivation to enter our competition for a pair of weekend tickets to the best festival in town. You may have heard Slow Club cancelled their tour due to illness. Well, sounds like things are back on track as we can exclusively reveal they’ve been added to the Crawl line-up.
• A new feature: ex-members-of-once-revered-bands-in-new-band-shock corner (catchy title, eh?) Remember Afghan Whigs? Frontman Greg Dulli’s latest project The Twilight Singers play the Electric Ballroom (March 18). Raekwon (Wu Tang Clan) plays HMV Forum (March 18) – we’ve had GZA and Ghostface Killah before, why can’t the living Wu Tang coordinate their diaries and come to Camden en masse? Bonehead, founding member of Oasis, is not quite attempting to rival Liam Gallagher’s new project Beady Eye with his less imaginatively named collaboration “Bonehead and John Mackie”. See them at Monto Water Rats (March 19). Artmagic, side project of Suede guitarist Richard Oakes, play The Bowery on March 22. Andy Burrows (ex-Razorlight bearded one) and new band I Am Arrows play The Old Queen’s Head (March 23)
• The fancy dress theme has been announced (rock stars, pop stars and divas) and the madness begins at Bestival’s preview featuring Kentish Town’s Kitty Daisy & Lewis at Koko (March 19).
• Had to mention this year’s JD Set at XOYO (March 24) where Ash’s Tim Wheeler, Emmy the Great, And So I Watch You From Afar, Ma Mentor and The Crookes bravely take on the great works of the Pixies. Follow their progress at www.thejdset.co.uk
