The Stripchords' Summer Season

June 20th & 21st – this Friday & Saturday!



Hey ho, kidlets,

The Stripchords are set to play a brace of gigs in yon Londinium, this coming Friday & Saturday (June 20th & 21st), both for yer general amusement and to facilitiate bouts of eyebrow twitching from both sexes. You must keep in shape, and a single Stripchords set can be considered one of your recommended five daily portions of fruit'n'veg!

Friday June 20th will once again see Captain Rex, 'Keg, Dil and Gluey Louie mount the stage at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes, to play another strike at Francois Dirty South's Kingpin club. Feel the reverb, get a spare, shake a leg, have a pint, get the nightbus – it's that easy to have fun! Free before 9pm, £3 afters...

Saturday June 21st will be the first All Music Trends nite at The Purple Turtle, Mornington Cresent, headlined by Irish garage nogoodniks & Dirty Water Records artistes The Urges. Come along and make Melary's first event a success! The Stripchords will be joined onstage by burlesque artiste Miss Cherrylicious (www.myspace.com/miss_tang) so it should be a goodie!
Fortified by two rounds of live performance, The Stripchords will finally be entering the recording studio on Sunday 22nd June, to 'lay down' a quartet of tunes in a 'live to tape' stylee. We welcome suggestions for these recordings from friends and lawyers.

Meanwhile, you'll find two new 'berks in progress' up on our myspace page, namely Lilac Hayes, a Bert Weedon style take on Mr J Hendrik's personal tribute to his good chum Melvyn, the 'lah di dah gunner' hisself, plus a cover of Johnny & The Hurricanes' Sandstorm, a personal favourite of European royalty and our own Captain Rex. Do have fun with them, won't you? A little but of wonky does a boy or gel the power of good! See you up the lanes or down Mornington Crescent way!

Selah, The Stripchords
