Loom Friday 19th May at Banquet Records, 6:00pm Albums and tickets for collection at the shop on the day of the in-store, please bring your order number with you. On the day their debut album is released, Loom play in the shop. Excellent grungy-punk full of aggression that exploits their dissatisfaction with modern day music. Their influences are evident; The Jesus Lizard, Bad Brains, Pixies, GG Allin, Misfits, and Warsaw. For fans of Turbowolf, Royal Blood and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. The debut album is the biggest statement a band makes. The songs we have written need to be presented exactly how we want them to be. We didn't want to be accused of contrived revivalism. We needed to find the right producers and the right label to understand where we were coming from. We now have that. In-store Grade B. Anyone is welcome but priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of Loom from us. CD | LP

Richard Dawson Monday 5th June at Banquet Records, 6:00pm In the week his new album's released Richard Dawson stops by to play in the shop. Drawing from a wide array of influences, his latest album connects mediaeval tales with modern society. Assisted by extensive research on his historical subjects, the lyricism is highly detailed and descriptive, showing off Dawson's unique storytelling skills. It's compelling stuff and live he's a genuinely mesmerising performer - funny, thoughtful and moving. Driven forward by exhilarating guitar flurries, Qawwali handclaps and bursts of choral ferocity, Peasant's eleven tracks sustain a momentum worthy of the lyrics' urgent subject matter. Dawson describes the themes of these songs as "Families struggling, families being broken up by circumstance, and - how do you keep it together? In the face of all of these horrors that life, or some system of life, is throwing at you?". The fact that these meticulously wrought narratives all unfold in the pre-mediaeval North Eastern kingdom of Bryneich - any time from about 450AD to 780AD, after the withdrawal of the Roman Empire - only makes their contemporary relevance more enduring and vital. In-store Grade B. Anyone is welcome but priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of Peasant from us.

Jake Isaac Monday 29th May at Banquet Records, 4:00pm Following the release of his debut album Jake Isaac visits Kingston to play in the shop. Bringing a super powerful blend of soul-pop that is as distinctive as it is empowering with excellent production, there's elements of folk that shine through in his songs as well that give it even more of an infectious edge. If you're into the likes of Rag 'N' Bone Man, Charlie Simpson or Bastille then you're probably going to dig this. A fiercely personal and passionate body of work, his debut album promises to be one of fantastic depth, honest and heartfelt and full of fire. In-store Grade B. Anyone is welcome but priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of Our Lives from us. CD | LP

Game Of S.K.A.T.E. Thursday 11th May at New Slang, 9:00pm In association with Natterjacks, we're back for our 9th game of S.K.A.T.E. in a nightclub! It's as fun as it is stupid, and the level of skateboarding gets better each year, with the best (and not so best) of skateboarders from Kingston and further afield battling it out. The Hippodrome is a great space for this and the comp winds up just after 11:30 before it gets back to a regular New Slang vibe. Whether you're entering, or, as most are, watching, it's the competition with some of the best skateboarders from these parts. It's our version of The Battle At The Berrics, and it's a load of fun. S.K.A.T.E. sees the skateboarder set a trick which his/her opponent has to match. If the opponent fails to make the trick, (s)he is awarded a letter of the word 'SKATE'. If the skater setting the trick fails to make their trick, then advantage goes to the opponent and it is their turn to set. When a player reaches 'E' they lose the game. For those familiar with S.K.A.T.E. we'll be playing by Berrics rules (two attempts on 't', no grabs, no bonelesses, hands down etc, and the bigger margin for error from the defensive player etc etc), So you get the idea, you can see last year's final in the video below. Natterjacks are partnering with us again and will delve deep for some prizes and giveaways. There's awards for 1st and 2nd place as well as for the best trick... plus there's a prize for the winner of the sweepskate, open to non-entrants on the night. To enter email skate@banquetrecords.com, with a link to some online footage. All entrants must be 18+ After the game, we'll have 2 rooms of music right up until 2am Main room - New Slang as usual with indie/ alternative hits from the likes of The Vaccines, Bloc Party, Catfish & The Bottlmen, The 1975, Wolf Alice and more. Room 2 - TBC Prelims will start at about 6:00pm Doors for this one are 9pm, it's free before 10:00pm then £4 after Please Note The Hippodrome is an 18+ Venue, Valid PHOTO ID will be Required New Slang Ticket
