WHITE MINK - BATH - 10th Oct

WHITE MINK Electro Swing Speakeasy Please INVITE YOUR FRIENDS to this page... ---------- WHAT IS WHITE MINK? The sounds and style of the 1920s and 30s turned on their head and smuggled into the 21st century... If every picture is worth a thousand words then save us both an awful lot of word-age and take a quick look at the gallery here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitemink/ Or the videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4su-9WZshKU and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDKm3K4LWhk ---------- We are REALLY excited to be launching a regular new night at the fabulous KOMEDIA in BATH: Following an unbroken succession of almost 3 years SOLD OUT events in London and Brighton (including huge shows with Caravan Palace and Parov Stelar) not to mention another incredible summer hosting stages at UK Festivals including Glastonbury, Love Supreme, Latitude, Wilderness, and Bestival... we really feel we've found a potential new home in the south west. To launch our opening night we've lined up an incredible array of acts. Tickets are strictly limited and as we said, usually sell out in advance. We always recommend buying early to avoid disappointment... ---------- TICKETS HERE: http://www.crowdsurge.com/whitemink or from the KOMEDIA Box Office here: http://komediabath.ticketsolve.com/shows/873519118/events ---------- "One of the UK's 3 best parties" (Mixmag) "Sublimely decadent" (Clash Magazine) "One helluva turbo-charged party" (Time Out) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ STARRING - This month: ★ JENOVA COLLECTIVE We're delighted to be bringing the full 7-piece version of the Jenova Collective to our first Bath show. Due to their unexpected success this group of students at the prestigious Leeds College of Music have been granted extended leave to pursue their career. Their youth conceals an array of genuine musical talent and their performances communicate incredible energy and excitement. Although still relatively unknown, when we took them on tour with White Mink to Berlin, they completely blew the roof off!!! Listen to their latest EP here: https://soundcloud.com/thejenovacollective/sets/champagne-machine https://www.facebook.com/JenovaCo/ ★ THE PAPER MOON BAND Setting the scene and warming up the night we have the wonderful Paper Moon Band playing swing classics in fine style. Listen to this: https://soundcloud.com/papermoonband/1-why-dont-you-do-right ★ DJ and host NICK HOLLYWOOD is the man behind the award-winning White Mink compilation series. Described as a 'suave impressario' by The Independent and 'the godfather of Electro Swing' by The Telegraph, Nick is behind the Freshly Squeezed record label, Radio Show and will be hosting the night. http://www.mixcloud.com/FreshlySqueezedMusic/ ★ BIG SWING SOUNDSYSTEM (DJ Kaptin) One of our favourite DJ duos, hailing from Bristol, these guys know how to make the party go with a swing... the less we say the better - just listen to this for a flavour of their fabulous sound: http://www.mixcloud.com/BigSwingSoundSystem/big-swing-soundsystem-got-it-covered/ ★ ROSIE ROWLANDS - AERIAL One of the stand-out circus performers we worked with over the summer - and there were many - Rosie is an Aerial Contortionist who quite simply blew us away with her agility and skill. She's very much a new-comer, fresh out of London's Circus Space School, but we predict big things... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izcgWYMGlPA ★ DEPARTMENT OF BRILLIANT AV One of the signature elements of a White Mink night, maverick AV genius of crazy light-bending inventions and trickery. Gerred has created visuals for us but is also behind the success of people like Public Service Broadcasting and lots more... ★ MUST DASH DANCE Fantastic performance swing dance from local duo. ★ SWING DANCE BRISTOL David is well known locally and will be on hand to set the mood and offer tips on dance technique ★ As ever, expect high production values, amazing music, world-class performers, a fantastic atmosphere and surprises galore! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ TICKETS: £13 (Usually in advance only.
