A massive lunchtime show from Scotland's Frightened Rabbit. Free entry. 1.30pm start so get here early.

We are privileged and honoured to be welcoming one of the world's greatest  songwriters into the shop for a very intimate, acoustic instore performance. More details on this to come soon! In the meantime, bathe in the sonic majesty of one of the finest records ever, Up With People, taken from what most people consider their pinnacle, Nixon.

 

6.30pm start for this lot who are consistently turning heads. And here is some live footage from Trash in 2004. Ah... we miss Trash...

THE CHAP live
ROSIE ODDIE & THE ODD SQUAD live
JUDI CHICAGO live
NICKY HOLLOWAY dj
STOPMAKINGME dj
LOST IN PARIS dj

It remains a mystery as to why The Chap aren't one of the biggest bands in the country. They are one of the most interesting mixtures of all that is great about pop music and you can go nuts to every song. Come and join their devoted fan base. This is going to be special.

Another dance music legend, in the shape of Nicky Holloway also comes to dig a bit deeper in his crate. Watch out for further DJ luminaries coming in to try something a little different. After Weatherall, they all want a go!

Punk funkers Judi Chicago and popster of the moment, Rosie Oddie (along with her Odd Squad) complete another big lineup.

Pure Groove Live!
Every Thursday at The Macbeth

One of North America's most incredible new acts arrives to play at Pure Groove - Born Ruffians are one of the best Canadian bands in years - and when you consider it's been one of the hottest music-producing nations of the last decade that's saying something. We're honoured and privileged to have the band, who're still so young despite having such smart tunes! They have a new single out on 29th September - the Little Garcon EP looks a cracker and can be pre ordered here.

1.30 pm (lunchtime) start.

ICELAND'S LEADING BOUTIQUE FESTIVAL, ICELAND AIRWAVES CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY WITH AN EAST LONDON EXTRAVAGANZA!

And this is the official pre-party.

No wave noise punks in the form of Dead Kids

Proggy doom merchants shaped like Ox Eagle Lion Man

and a post funk heartbreaker who comes in a box marked "David E Sugar."

A very big night indeed.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for mother freekin' ice cream. Especially when it comes from a cool van. And even more especially when it comes in a cool van banging out future sci-fi pop from another time, another galaxy. A galaxy where ice cream is electric maybe. What am I talking about? I have no idea. Anyway, one of the most mindblowing new acts are bringing their ice cream van (and synths, samplers etc) to Pure Groove for a sure-to-be-insane instore.

Here's a taster. No idea what's going on, but we like!

We’d love to draw your attention to Ladyhawke on 23rd September. If you love Fleetwood Mac (and you’re a silly sausage if you don’t quite frankly) and like the idea of Stevie Nicks boosted with space-age digital production for future dancefloors, then we’d suggest you get on down.

Glorious melodies with uplifting soundscapes don’t get any better

ESSER live
PLAYDOE live
STOPMAKINGME dj
+ more tba

Levis Ones To Watch are putting on a whole week of events at the Macbeth and we're throwing the Thursday party as part of Pure Groove Live.

Esser was born to be a star. He wowed everyone when we took Pure Groove Live to Durrr earlier this year.

South Africa's Playdoe are also set for very big things this year - classic hip hop in the style of Spank Rock and Cool Kids. Amazing!

Plus, there's more to be announced...

Really into this new er.. band, who meld deep, NY percussive beats from the ESG, Liquid Liquid era with more daft 80s melodies a la B52s. Really good live, and now signed to 50 Bones. This will be a cracking instore and probably the last time you see them in a venue this size for a while!
