DEAD AIR (w/ Xmas hard rock karaoke set)
DEAR TASH
SUNDAY BEST

Fly Tip Records will host our first Xmas bash at London’s epicentre of all things Rock/Alt, The Black Heart, Camden on Tuesday 10th December!

We at Fly Tip HQ will endeavour to bring you the ultimate Xmas live night experience - how you might ask? Well with karaoke (of course)!

What’s an Xmas party without karaoke? What’s even better than plain old karaoke? That’s right, karaoke with the sickest live band in town!

We have teamed up with our good pals, South London powerhouse, Dead Air, who will be YOUR backing band as you join them on stage to belt out an Xmas track with massive riffs, thunderous drums and filthy bass lines as your guide.

On the night, say hello to our Fly Tip Records elves at the merch booth, who will assign you an Xmas song, and you will get called up on stage to live out your festive Rock star fantasy - think of it as our Xmas gift to you!

Also dawning the stage are post-emo heathens, Sunday Best, and a very, very special guest!

As you can gather by now, we’re going big for the inaugural Fly Tip Records Xmas party, so don’t miss it (otherwise you’ll end up straight on the naughty list)!

BAD LUCK LIVE (ft. BLED + MORE)

Bad Luck presents…

BLED
Conjurors of eccentric goth disco, BLED deliver hyperactive performances that elicit a rave-like euphoria. Formed in Bristol and emigrated to the North East, the duo consisting of Jamy Crozier and Leo Himmelblau can be identified by their monochromatic red and blue style. 

LAURIE BLACK
Classically trained pianist, turned to the dark side of live synthesisers, with a tongue-in-cheek glint-in-the-eye, Laurie Black has been described as the “lovechild of Gary Numan and Victoria Wood”.  Winner of Solo Show at Reykjavik Fringe and Emerging Artist of Adelaide Fringe 2018.  Tour support for Adam Ant's 2022 ANTICS UK tour.

THE HUSH HUSH
From The Doors to Del Rey, Nick Cave to Nina Simone, Luke Fraser’s nostalgic crooning vocals blend with Rob Mawer’s surf-meets-Bond baritone electric guitar to create an atmosphere that transports their listeners back to pop’s 50s/60s golden age, while mixing in the mood of a red-neon-lit Lynchian bar scene.

7:00 PM19:00

DEAF CLUB (live) + DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF (UK premiere screening)

DEAF CLUB

Deaf Club is a savage sound bath dripping with sardonicism: a blastbeat-centric hardcore punk assault channeling crust, thrash, and grind (un)sensibilities. Succinct pauses, surreal frequencies and effects, breakneck pace and sharply hurled vocals characterize the band’s aesthetic, which  seems as though it is rooted in a sort of nasty-sound-meets-highbrow-message ethos. Fueled by the onslaught of society’s insanity and driven mad by tinnitus, Justin Pearson (The Locust, Dead Cross, Planet B), Brian Amalfitano (ACxDC), Scott Osment (Glassing, Planet B), Jason Klein (Run With The Hunted, JR Slayer) approach music as an opportunity to confront our collective sicknesses.

Support from: RITUAL ERROR

DON’T FALL IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF
UK Premiere Film Screening

Don't Fall in Love with Yourself is a documentary that explores the life of enigmatic musician and artist, Justin Pearson. From childhood tragedy to his rise in the San Diego punk scene, Don't Fall in Love with Yourself takes an in-depth look at a career made out of blood, sweat and spit.

Much of the footage has been sourced from dozens of VHS & Mini-DV tapes recorded over the past three decades. With never-before-seen footage of one of the most interesting and unique musical movements is recent memory.

Interviews include Justin Pearson, Dave Lombardo, Eric Paul, Gabe Serbian, Jason Pettigrew, Travis Ryan, Jeremy Bolm, Jon Syverson, Molly Neuman and more.

MR IRISH BASTARD
https://www.instagram.com/mririshbastardofficial/

"With their new album Battle Songs of the Damned, Mr. Irish Bastard continue their exciting journey. An album full of Irish party spirit and adrenaline-driven melancholy. There are rousing concerts for the heart, soul and drinking hand. Because even though not every day can be St. Patrick's Day, at a Mr. Irish Bastard concert you have the feeling of being closer to the island than ever. Banjo, tin whistle, accordion and violin perfectly embedded in driving folk punk at its best. A party like in a pub after curfew led by the charming Irish master of ceremonies Mr. Irish Bastard, who leads the evening with humor and self-irony. Mr. Irish Bastard are one of the best bands the genre has to offer. And they are musically creative and internationally known as a first-class live band. The folk punkers have already dropped anchor in 18 countries and set another crown in 2019 with a tour through China, Taiwan and Hong Kong as well as as part of the sold-out Versengold tour through 18 cities."

THE BLACK HEART HALLOWEEN BONANZA 2024

It’s our favourite time of year once again! 

We love a halloween party. We’re usually either drinking, being spooky, or a combination of the two anyway, but there’s something special about it on halloween. So, we’re throwing a big ol’ Black Heart Halloween Bonanza on October 26th. Free in, open til late, spooky shenanigans across two floors. 

In the bar it’s YACHT-O-WEEN! Our favourite seafaring party Yacht Through The Heart makes port for a special halloween edition bringing a ghost ship’s worth of bangers along with ‘em. That’s accompanied by some especially spooky cocktails mixed, and delicious Devil’s Door x LD’s Kitchen vegan bat wings being served from the hatch.

While upstairs, we’ve invited the mighty BLAX ABBATH to make a triumphant return after an incredible set at last year’s halloween bash that had us all swaying and shouting along to some of the best songs ever written.

We do seem to have been visited by some giant demonic spider entity that’s left all kinds of evidence of its deeds around the bar, but we’re sure a bunch of mysterious webs are nothing to get caught up over - come n party with us!
