Monday Monday, five things we had never heard of when we woke up this fine sunny March Monday morning. Today we shall post about five things that entered our lives for the very first time today, music from bands we’d never heard of, new art shows announced today, who know what, let’s see what the glorious daffodil filled second day of spring brings….

1 TIM  Who are Tim? We don’t know, they crossed our paths this morning, they’re from France, so much good music flowing out of France at the moment, this is from 2013, we certainly want some more please..

“Tim est un sextet, jouant deux batteries fusionnée devant, trois guitares/basses derrière, une trompette et un clavier au milieu, distillant une musique rythmique, où les mélodies intenses et entêtantes côtoient les basses lourdes et noises”.

2: BIG DEAL 666 – The latest Big Deal show, number 666 has been announced this morning (wasn’t number 6 last year in Fulham?), This time a whole bag load of London Artists, this one in a space in Camden, don’t ask us who the Morning Star is…

3: LUMINOUS BODIES are playing of at the Windmill in Brixton on Friday March 6th, they share a bill with excellently named Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (as well as Blown Out, Casual nun and Fuckjar), they describe themselves as a scumbag lysergic racket, glorious racket if you ask us. A gig recommended by us via the pages of LondonGigs.net just for those Pigs, whole bill sounds good though…  like the brooding menace of these Bodies..

4: BICICLETA SEM FREIO and the first ever show in London for the acclaimed Brazilian artist duo

“Following their recent international large-scale public artworks across Europe and America in major cities likes London, Berlin, Miami, Las Vegas or Los Angeles (where they painted the largest building ever in DownTown), Bicicleta Sem Freio aka Douglas de Castro and Renato Perreira are preparing for their first ever solo show in London UK, where they will translate their signature style of highly expressive line work and vibrant color palette writing into fine art works with confidence. “FERA”, translates from Portuguese to mean wild or savage, intends to present on canvas and paper their unexpected juxtaposition of imaginary, rock’n’roll and often provocative subjects. Their sophistication is revealed by the layers of ideas they picture and the references they suggest, showcasing an ironic pop iconography. Dream girls, adorned with 80’s jewellery and ethnic fabrics, entranced by hipster looking panthers or troubadour wizards, inexplicably accompanied by exotic bird hidden in lush vegetation. More than enough to keep your eyes wide open and to ensure you are mesmerized by Bicicleta’s ‘Fera’ without brakes”

The exhibition is produced by JUSTKIDS and hosted by RexRomae.
