Floripa, 91-93 Great Eastern Street, London

Guy Chambers' monthly excursion into 21st century cabaret. This month offers the rootsy funk Jon Allen, The Go Sees, famous burlesque performer Vicky Butterfly & the Orgasmatron Orchestra providing quadraphonic sound from all corners of Floripa. The Go Sees, Jon Allen, Vicky Butterfly, The Orgasmatron Orchestra, Scarlett Etienne (DJ) Originally set up by Chambers as, 'a night which I can invite all my mates to,' The Orgasmatron has swiftly become the club night to be seen at, offering a psychedelic concoction of live music from mixed genres, dancers, DJs, orchestras, burlesquers and ceiling swingers.

Forget The Box, those in the know are revelling in unique performances and the delightfully unexpected in the Orgasmatron's suitably colourful home Floripa in Shoreditch.

This month sees one of the most ambitious line-ups to date. Crowd favourites THE GO SEES (http://www.goseesmusic.com/) return with more funk-rock sounds as well as emerging rootsy-rock talent JON ALLEN (http://jonallensongs.co.uk/).

The Irish Cultural Centre, Blacks Road, Hammersmith, W6 9DT

Beoga return to the Irish Cultural Centre for another lively stint on our stage. These guys are the most enigmatic bunch you'll ever see. Not to be missed. Support by the ever gorgeous Long Notes! Beoga, The Long Notes Beoga (Lively in Irish) are based in County Antrim, in the north of Ireland

The bedrock of their sound lies firmly within the Irish tradition

However, they are not afraid to incorporate other genres' nuances into their music

From bluesy riffs to Astor Piazzola-style jazz, to a raunchy New Orleans jamboree vibe, their music always returns to a wonderfully bouncy Irish sound

The result is traditional, with a huge sense of fun and adventure and it all works - wonderfully well

The Wall Street Journal describes them as "the most exciting new traditional band to emerge from Ireland this century." Irish Music Magazine writes, "Beoga are at the forefront of the new Irish wave."

We had the weirdest dream last night. We were in a Brazilian wonderland in the middle of Shoreditch with a giant suspended parrot above our heads and fruit on the walls. We danced to a harpist and a Frenchman, naked except for an apron, played reggae remixes of Nirvana and The Libertines. We sang along from the bottom of my diaphragm to a gospel choir and a man with wild hair on the guitar who sang "You can cal me Al" even though he was called Josh . We looked up and above the stage a beautiful lady gazed wistfully out onto the crowd as she dangled from a giant 'O' suspended from the ceiling. Later, who knows how much time had passed, the crowd, uni

Gilby Clarke + Love/Hate + Bad Mouth

Okay, this guy Gilby Clarke was in Guns N' Roses. He also played guitar for the MC5 , Nancy Sinatra, Heart and now Rockstar: Supernova. Gilby Clarke, Love / Hate, Bad Mouth Okay, this guy Gilby Clarke was in Guns N' Roses. He also played guitar for the MC5 , Nancy Sinatra, Heart and now Rockstar: Supernova. As a singer, guitarist and songwriter he's an old-school mash-up of Keef, Johnny Thunders, and B.B. King. See, the tousled guitar hero was but a 17 -year-old Cleveland punk when he split for the sparkly glit of Hollywood.

A fresh-off-the-bus cliché? Nah, Clarke made it all his own. He dived into the Tinseltown music scene headfirst and came up swinging in Candy.

(whose lone 1984 Polygram album, Whatever Happened to Fun?, is referenced in the hippest of rock crit corners; copies fetch hefty coin on Ebay). When the criminally ignored Candy soured, Clarke fronted Kill for Thrills, a wonderfully strident, big riff quartet (for whom Clarke penned the lion's share
