He was voted the #1 DJ of 2004 in Las Vegas’ eyes-and-ears, Las Vegas Life Magazine. When pressed to reveal what has put him there, he states “I can smoke, drink, text message, dance, mix, and cut all at once.” Initially inspired by DJ Premier’s work on the Gangstarr classics, DJ Five honed his craft by mimicking DJ Jazzy Jeff’s Live at Union Square. His knowledge of rock and pop music came from those late nights spent in Las Vegas strip clubs, all the while straddling that line between mainstream and street cred by associating himself both with the “backpack” Hip Hop movement and paying close attention to the trajectory of Hip Hop as it crossed over into popular culture There is no better place to cure your hangover than Sapphire Pool & Day Club!

Featuring from the original Animals -

JOHN STEEL & MICK GALLAGHER (The Blockheads)
Danny Handley (performed with Spencer Davis, Bobby Elliott, Ric Lee of Ten Years After); Peter Barton (Wayne Fontana's Mindbenders, Boomtown Rats Roberts & Crowe)

"The Animals earned their name thanks to their wild stage act

That was 50 years ago and they have calmed down since, but their music has lost none of its vigour". (Wales Online)

In 1964 a wave of new energetic rock and roll swept over the youth of the world

On the crest of this wave was The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and of course The Animals

From the banks of the River Tyne came the North East's offering; a brand of rhythm n blues that the whole world seemed to grasp greedily


2012 marked founder member John Steel's 55th year as performing musician

Back in 1957 he and The Animals co-founder Eric Burdon began plying their trade in and around their native Tyneside with not the slightest inking that they would - in a very few years - find themselves part of a group that would be forever bracketed with the very best of British music - The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds - and respected all over the world

The Animals were also be the second British band after The Beatles to top the American charts with their multi-million selling anthem, ‘House of The Rising Sun'

The bands' recent ‘Prehistoric' album features recordings of the songs that so inspired John Steel and Eric Burdon as they grew up on Tyneside


After 50 years, the legend still grow

The Local presents Eyes & No Eyes + Special Guests
Wednesday, 3rd July 2013
The Shacklewell Arms, 71 Shacklewell Lane, Dalston, E8 2EB
Exclusive show featuring Eyes & No Eyes plus an array of very special guests

Entry is £6 for the show plus a copy of the debut single, and £4 for gig only

Eyes & No Eyes met at art school in Brighton and developed a shared passion for explosive noise, surreal lyrics, driving motorik beats and free improvisation - whilst never forgetting to keep a solid song foundation

The band have spent the last year recording their debut album and racking up tours and shows around the UK and Europe with the likes of Do Make Say Think, Gravenhurst, Damo Suzuki and Sons of Noel and Adrian

The self-titled debut album was recorded live to capture the energetic interplay between the four members - guitar, bass, drums and cello - with some extra analog synths and warped electronics added to thicken the textures by the band and collaborator / co-conspirator Woodpecker Wooliams

Other sounds were collected from far-flung corners, including overdubs recorded in various cities whilst on the road with Gravenhurst, field recordings of fireworks punctuating the dystopian soundscape of album closer The Drowned World, and even shimmering grand piano ripples recorded in Sydney Opera House

Piece all that together and you have an album that features unpredictable songwriting and arrangements like those of This Heat and Portishead, delicately walking the fine line between noise and pop drawn up by Sonic Youth and Liars

The album will be preceded by a 7" single in June featuring the tracks If No One Else Saw It and Flying Machine

The two tracks were recorded during the album sessions, showing the more grand and atmospheric side of the band's sound

Both tracks seem to stagger into being, stuttering and stalling before beginning to gain pace, eventually taking off, soaring with transcendent grandeur, before being unceremoniously swallowed by an Italian tape echo unit named Melos.

Adding on to this, she has flourished as a performer and composer, exploring lush ground in the crossover between Indian music and a variety of contemporary flavours including jazz, Irish folk, electronica, flamenco, blues, pop, Western classical and the ‘Bollywood' music. Her violin playing has a nice blend of 'bhava' [musical expression and emotion] & fingering technique, a result of three ‘decades of experimentation' as per a critic

She is one of the very few names that springs to music collaborators while seeking artistes of high versatility across Indian jazz, Experimental music and ‘cross-over' genres. Dr. Srikanth is featured in many major global music events and venues like WOMAD - UK, Red Violin Festival - Wales, BBC Proms, The Music Academy - Chennai

Having played violin for nearly 200 bollywood films under music directors like Ilayaraja, she is currently composing & working on numerous large scale music experiments - in a way bringing communities together

She is the artistic director of Dhruv Arts and London International Arts Festival

In the ‘Carnatic Nomad' album release tour, Jyotsna performs traditional South Indian Classical Carnatic music accompanied by Neyveli Venkatesh on mridangam (two sided drum) and RN Prakash on ghatam (clay pot). The concert will be preceded by a precise lec dem on Carnatic music
