kick the plug

Kick the Plug returns once again to Clerkenwell’s Wilmington Arms. This time around we present the epic folk 12-piece Sons of Noel and Adrian, who are going to be making some big noise in 2009 and really have to be seen to be believed, with support from Stars of Sunday League and My First Tooth.
Expect musical brilliance, with culinary treats and badges aplenty, with musical interludes provided by Mark and Tom of Neednowater.

Sons of Noel and Adrian
Closely resembling a giant centipede in motion Sons of Noel and Adrian grew up in the midlands with many like-minded musical folk. A couple of years ago they moved to Brighton to gather more legs and are now a fully formed outfit with sometimes as many as eleven members or as few as five.

The music is acoustic and falls loosely into the progressive folk niche. At the core are Jacob and Toms tumbling guitars, joined by a colourful host of other instruments to create music that ranges from Shanty to Schoenburg, from deep underground to just above the surface and muses on whether excess can make you a better person and what’s to do when your credit’s all used up and there’s nowhere to go.

“It’s all in Jacob Richardson’s bowel rupturing baritone, the kind of low end that can level entire cities and bring grown men to tears.” (FACT Magazine, 10th December ‘08)

Stars of Sunday League

Stars of Sunday League is the constituent parts of Euan Robinson. Liberated by a lack of real musicianship he writes simple uncluttered songs about how the biggest things are wrapped up in the smallest.

He has been treading the musical boards around London since summer 07 and has found himself standing on stages at Bestival, End of the Road, New York’s Sidewalk cafe, sxsw and bandstands across London and beyond.

Live, Stars of Sunday League adds the various musical talents of Sarah Triggs to the mix while Emmy the Great adds a sometime vocal gloss to proceedings.

Thus far they have been fortunate enough to play alongside such luminaries as the Wave Pictures, Stornoway, Emmy the Great, Chris Wood and many others.

EP in the new year – look out!

heart, then give it a gentle stroke better.
Killer pretty stuff” – Marsha Shandur, XFM
