Putan Club-A band is taking the roof off the venue. Like a crush collusion between Young Gods, NIN, and even the early Ants when things get tribal with their more chanting ethno vocals and big rhymes, Putan Club have an astonishing and original sound and the live show is enormous. Putan Club are a stunning revelation. A medusa curls haired woman dealing bass filth with a perfect groove and a bequiffed man on guitar twitching with expectation. They then literally just explode. Their computer takes up the rhythm chores and the seering catchy riffs are delivered with a noisenik venom and raw power. There is the clank and grind of INDUSTRIAL and the forward vision of POST-PUNK and an almighty groove of DEATH DISCO which bites into RAW AFRICA then crunch into PRIMARY SAVAGERY. They are the best band that I should have heard of. The band are now an LTW priority that you must listen to.

NB DAYTIME 2.30pm RHODA DAKARR EVENT IS TICKETED SEPARATELY HERE rhodadakar.net Rhoda herself explains here…“You may have heard about Kate Nash selling photos of her bum on Only Fans to finance her tour. It’s really tough being a solo artist at present. If you’re a band, you at least share the financial pain. My last tour netted me approximately £300, over nine shows. That’s not £300 per show, that’s £300 in total. But, hey, I didn’t make a loss! I’m going out on the road in April, supporting Toots & The Maytals. My support fee isn’t bad at all – we’ve thankfully progressed beyond the traditional £50! However, it’s still not enough to cover musicians, crew, tour bus and hotels! So, I’m doing a trio of Q&As with a couple of tunes at the end. The difference is I’m not being asked polite questions by an esteemed interviewer. The questions will be YOURS! Hence, BYO! Supplied beforehand, with the really rude ones filtered out, I’ll answer as many as I can fit in, still leaving time for a short ‘hands up’ session afterwards. I’ll do my best to be polite and you can ask me that nagging query you always remember after you’ve left the gig! My bum isn’t bad for my age, but it’s nearly thirty years older than Kate’s. So despite her advice to the contrary, I’m giving Only Nans (© PJ) a swerve and doing this instead!”
