Islet, El Burro, 1 Jun 2012

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:27:19 +0000

1 Jun 2012 - Rock & Pop at Rainbow (& Warehouse)

‘Illuminated People’ Islets debut album follows 2010’s rapturously received pair of EPs – ‘Celebrate This Place’ and ‘Wimmy’ – which the NME described as being “a sonic boom in the face to anyone who might have thought they had something to hide”. A group who work under a strict autonomy, this is – as a result – their most cohesive sounding work to date.

Mon, 14 May 2012 19:40:16 +0000

8 Jun 2012 - Club at Rainbow (& Warehouse)

Ultimate Power is, quite simply, an evening of the greatest songs ever written. A communal appreciation of colossal musical compositions from the titans of power ballads; messrs Collins, Loaf, Tyler and Jovi and many, many more besides. Every single song is a classic, every single song is known and loved by all, and every single song is never played at any other club night in the world except Ultimate Power. The uplifting, harmonious atmosphere is unlike any other club in the UK; it is no exaggeration to say that it is a truly life-changing experience.

22 Jun 2012 - Club at Rainbow (& Warehouse)

From Grime origins and productions for a list of heavyweights, including Wiley, Tinie Tempah, Sway, Trim and Chipmunk - to 6 years worth of hosting on Rinse FM’s Grimey Breakfast Show, Scratcha DVA in 2012 now faces the critical acclaim and praise of the UK broadsheets, contemporary music journalists and masses of electronic music bloggers, finally awarding Leon Smart thanks to the weird and disjointed qualities of his debut (Hyperdub) LP, Pretty Ugly.

Unsane, Big Business, 4 Jul 2012

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:27:25 +0000

4 Jul 2012 - Rock & Pop at Rainbow (& Warehouse)

New York City's Unsane assisted in pioneering a more aggressive, less studied version of noise rock, one that blended the scum/art industrial sturm und drang of Foetus, the Swans, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Sonic Youth with the decidedly more straightforward hardcore idiom favored by acts like Sick of It All. As a power trio, Unsane relied upon a hammering, power-press rhythm section, a searing Telecaster howl, and distorted vocals that resembled nothing if not the sound of a man trapped in the New York Subway system.

In 2006 our good friends Below introduced the Rainbow Courtyard to the masses playing deep house. Back then it was a Courtyard, with palm trees, benches the smell of a organic bbq, open air and exposed brick work with subtle graffiti.

In 2010 The Rainbow Courtyard was slapped with a NOISE ABATEMENT order which was the end of the Rainbow Courtyard as we used to know it.
