Christmas Party in the Lunn-dunn Pt 1. A far more worthwhile cause than the celebration of those troglodytes that brought Trafalgar Square to a halt today... over to them Sonic Reducer fellas...
We'll see ya, and raise! Christmas, inna Texas Hold 'Em stylee! The Boogaloo on London's uncelebrated Archway Road is THE rock 'n' roll pub. The Stooges AND James Carr on the juke, a roaring fire (stray Strokes fans?), mebbe David Soul or Wreckless Eric doing a few numbers over by the mural of The King ... WE LOVE IT! So when Boogaloo master Gerry O'Boyle asked yer ever-lovin' 'Reducer boys to bring some sounds up the hill, to play our top shebeen's festive shindig, we said, "Fuck, yeah!" Oh, and it's also BigKegShandy's birthday (the old scrote) ... So we'll do for ya at The Metro on the 18th, then we'll give ya a day off. Be good to your people on the 19th. And be ready to GET DOWN on the 20th! For FREE!

Sock It To Me, Santa! - The Boogaloo Christmas Party
Music from the Sonic Reducer Tag Team - December 20th 7pm-late
The Boogaloo, 312 Archway Road, Highgate, Highgate Tube.

*All the shit that's fit to spin!* Funk, soul, ska, rock 'n' roll, R&B, reggae, country, soundtracks, garage, punk, psych, power pop, and just plain good musics.

Hipsters, flipsters! The time has come to say "turn that motherfucker UP!"
Sonic Reducer is inordinately proud to announce our first late nite shindig at a new venue, the Metro, on December 18th. The match of the year will see the 'Reducer tag team of BigKegShandy and TeenSlain locked in pitch-controlled battle with The Bunker's Paul ' Blow Up' Tunkin. Using only the most deadliest 45rpm ammunition - namely the choicest punk, funk, garage, R&B, ska, soundtracks, soul, electronica and beat sounds - the multi-frequency square-off will mean non-stop dancefloor action.

Referees for this cerebellum 'n' instep-mashing bout will be the finest band in all Londinum, those missing-in-action Beatings. Call them tardy, by all means. Think of them as people with far too much free time one their grubby little hands. Wonder at the amount of Angry Samoans and Saxon vinyl at their collective disposal. But at just 60 Earth minutes past the witching hour, The Beatings will take to the stage, armed with favourites old & new. Fresh from the loving arms of Mr. Kevin Shields, and the stage of The Forum, they will undoubtedly be "Young, Fast & Scientific."

Ho, fucking, ho, children!
