Shanks Discotheque August 17, 2007

SHANKS DISCOTHEQUE is the monthly party hosted by the artists formerly known as Roland Shanks. For a mere four quid you get four fine bands and up to forty DJs spinning mash-ups, house, cheese and punk and qhatever suits their mood right there and then

TARE (Camberwell)
..are three-fifths of ex-Moshi Moshi recording artists Roland Shanks. After a brief hiatus they've returned and notched up the volume to produce a big, textured and most of all exciting sound that you can dance to.

THE CUTAWAYS (Belfast)
Another band with a few tweaks on the personnel front are Belfast's quirky pop-rockers The Cutaways who used to go under the name of The Betes Noires. They've muscled up with a tower of power bassist and generally make more a Pixies'n'pavement inspired racket than before.

THE TASTE (Munich)
Fact. We've never had a bad German band at the Windmill and this well-travelled lot are certainly not going to break a fine tradition.
Dreamy female-fronted indie with a big bite.

THE KELHAM CRISIS (Sheffield)
