London Calling 2006 – Join Club REB at Koko

• 24th Jun 2006

Glasswerk band Red Eye Banquet are set to play their biggest gig to date this coming Friday June 30th, at Camden’s prestigious Koko venue.

This is the first of three consecutive high-profile weekend gigs – on Saturday July 8th they headline Blissfields Festival alongside The Mystery Jets, then on Friday July 14th they play the Camden Barfly

Their gig at Koko is part of London Calling – a high profile music convention analysing the future of the music business, which also includes 70 Live acts and DJs across 5 days & nights at London’s key venues. The fact that the gig merges into the immensely popular Club NME night only adds to the significance of the occasion. However, the band are expecting such a large contingent of followers that it will be more Club REB than NME!

It certainly is an impressive line-up:

8.40pm Red Eye Banquet
9.20pm Lazy Habits
10pm Dustins Bar Mitzvah

Red Eye Banquet
Red Eye Banquet are a West London 4-piece who are fast getting a reputation as one of the city's most exciting new acts. They continually win new fans with their original London sound. 2006 has already seen a recording at the BBC, an XFM festival, airplay on Radio One (Steve Lamacq), XFM (John Kennedy) and BBC London (Gary Crowley). Lammo witnessed them sell out Upstairs at the Garage, and it’s no surprise they have top- billing at the Blissfields Festival in July.
