Clubglobal presents The Vodou Jazz Factory

Event: Clubglobal presents The Vodou Jazz Factory
Venue: Barfly - closed 4 June 2008
Date: 10 Apr 2008 - 20:00
Event details: Vodou Jazz Factory grew out of some conga workshops in Cambridge. The band plays rhythms from Haitian Vodou, Brazilian Candomble, Cuban Santeria and Highlife. We add melodies and jazz solos and we want to produce dance-till-you-drop music. The band is new, in 2008, and this will be their second gig. We are developing some new material to extend our set and hope to grow a whole new jazz sound over the next year or so. We play with a rhythmic and melodic structure but no detailed script, a basic tune and solos from everyone, so no two performances will ever be the same

 

The influences are from Jane's obsessions with Nigerian bands, Dele Abiodun and Fela Kuti, and from Sun Ra, Art Blakey, Nana Vasconcelos, Paapa Mensah and other members of the Mensah clan.

Violet Violet

Event: Violet Violet
Venue: Barfly - closed 4 June 2008
Date: 11 May 2008 - 14:55
Event details: Tasty, barbed musical morsels snatched from the fingers, mouths and hearts of PJ Harvey, Sleater-Kinney and Huggy Bear, heavily seasoned with violet violet's own arty brand of vibrant wit and wisdom. This is gossip rock. It's edgy, full-on bitching, harmoniously delivered by a feisty trio of sardonic sirens. Tumbling tunes stuffed full of perfect and primal tribal rhythms with buzzsaw bass, gyrating guitars adn a dual-pronged lead vocal attack that's guaranteed to get you singing and bopping along to their infectious DIY dance floor ditties. 

Tune in, take note and listen to their woah-a-oh! You'll be unable to resist the violet violet range of sound: from infectious disco beats to hard screaming riot grrrl noisiness, each skit telling tales of bad dress sense, nasty nights out and crushing one-liners.
