Thursday 27th December at New Slang
As loads of the original New Slangers have this week off work, we thought we'd take a trip down memory lane, back to the time and the sounds of where New Slang began. A reunion of sorts, we're going back to 2007!!!
At midnight, we'll roll back the years for some tunes from the likes of The Postal Service, Futureheads, Young Knives, I Was A Cub Scout, Maccabees, Long Blondes, Dartz!, Gossip, Tellison, Does It Offend You. Yeah?, Jamie T, Good Shoes, Los Campesinos, Bloc Party, Kate Nash, Foals, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, The Shins and plenty more.
You can expect to hear current staples as well from artists such as The 1975, Vaccines, Two Door Cinema Club, Chvrches, Frank Turner and many more of course.
Pryzm is an 18+ venue. A valid Passport or Drivers License MUST BE SHOWN.
New Slang is held at Pryzm, 154 Clarence St, Kingston upon Thames KT1 1QP

You Tell Me
Thursday 10th January at Banquet Records, 6:00pm
The day before the release of their debut album, You Tell Me visit the shop.
You Tell Me is the new side project from Peter Brewis and Sarah Hayes, known from Field Music and Admiral Fallow respectively. A spectacular fusion of crafted indie-pop songwriting with folky vibes.
By blending their distinct compositional talents, they’ve created a record that possesses their own clear styles but also a new voice too. With both of them writing songs and lyrics, Peter describes it as “a sort of dual-personal record”. Sonically, the result is a subtly crafted album with a rich and intricate sense of composition, in which strings glide above multi-layered keyboards and percussion, and vocal melodies wrap around one another in snug unison. In many senses it feels like a classic songwriter record - rich in craft, songs, arrangements and vocal interplay - yet it manages to feel stylistically contemporary and void of nostalgia.
In-store Grade B.
Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of You Tell Me from us.

Alpines
Wednesday 21st November at Banquet Records, 6:00pm
Just after the release of their new album, Alpines visit the shop.
We're big fans of the Kingston local duo, they were last here 2 years ago and now they are back with their third album, Full Bloom. They've really pushed themselves this time around with their stunning blend of atmospheric R&B / electronica tunes. If you're into the likes of The xx, Jesse Ware or Alunageorge then give these a listen.
While their core influences have always revolved around the music they grew up listening to, Full Bloom is confidently eclectic in its frame of reference and comes across as their most sure-footed work yet. Prince, Aaliyah, Frank Ocean, Lauryn Hill, Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Kelela, ‘90s rave culture and Massive Attack are just some of the muses channelled in this new work.
Pockson’s primary lyrical concerns are growth, ecology, and change (as the title suggests), alongside the everyday challenges of love, acceptance and hardship, making for a record that’s braver than its predecessors.

The 1975
Thursday 29th November at New Slang, 9:00pm
There’s no bigger album for us this year than A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships. We’re delighted that The 1975 come to Kingston to celebrate its release just hours before it’s out. In what will be a very intimate gig at New Slang, it’s sure to sell out very quickly.
The hugely anticipated third full length from The 1975 is slated for release on the 30th November. Offering another addictive dose of ambient yet charming electronica fused with indie-rock, proving to be one of the most distinctive bands of this decade.
You can pick up a copy of the CD album and ticket for just £15. Other ticket options include the high-street-record shops-only LP and an exclusive-to-Banquet cassette.
If there are any remaining tickets, they'll be on sale online on Thursday 15th Nov at 11:00AM.
Tickets are limited to 2 per customer
To combat touts, customers will be required to give their name when purchasing tickets and will be required to produce photo ID matching that name for entry to the gig. Tickets are not transferable.
After the show, it's New Slang as usual where you can expect to hear songs from the likes of Mystery Jets, Everything Everything, CHVRCHES The Vaccines, Wolf Alice, The Cribs, Circa Waves and many more until 2AM.
Doors - 9:00pm The 1975 - 10:00pm Times are subject to change. Please check back.
New Slang is an over 18s event, and is strict on ID. Please bring photo ID with you on the night, whatever age you are.

CHRIS DIFFORD
Sunday 11th November at Banquet Records, 4:00pm
Orders for collection at our shop on the afternoon of the in-store. Please bring your order number with you.
Just after the paperback publication of his acclaimed autobiography and recent album Pants, Chris Difford comes to the shop. One of the finest lyricists of the last 40 years, his work with Squeeze, solo and with others was recently recognised with a BASCA Gold Badge award, adding to his two Ivor Novello awards. An all-time classic songwriter.
As anyone who has listened to "Cool for Cats" or "Up the Junction" will know, Difford's lyrics are superb at noticing the unconscious poetry of everyday life, and the early chapters of this book are tightly packed with the sights, the sounds and especially the smells of his childhood: the "sweetest smell of peat burning on the fire" in his Irish aunt's house, "the dry crusty odour of socks in football boots" at school, or the heady teenage scent of "Brut and spray-on deodorant". (Robert Douglas-Fairhurst THE GUARDIAN)
In-store Grade B.
Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of Pants or Some Fantastic Place from us.
