Tonight! Club Fandango Kicks Off 7 Shows Celebrating Bbc6 Music's 10th Birthday
20th March 2012
Artist Profile »

Excellent news musical earthlings: BBC 6 Music is celebrating its tenth birthday. No alarms and no surprises this time around - the station is very much safe from harm - but we thought it would be nice to acknowledge their anniversary by bringing together some of the acts who've made their mark on the 6 Music psyche over the past decade.

These thoroughly unofficial shows run alongside the station's proper birthday 'do' which gently rocked the South Bank on March 16th. And by some bionic coincidence March 2012 also sees Club Fandango celebrate eleven years of, well, Fandangoing, so we thought it was high time we invited back some of our nearest and dearest to partake in some birthday fun, and throw in a few cheekily ace newcomers to make us all feel a touch younger than we actually are.

£6 adv. tickets are now on sale from here:

Shrag are as a wise man writes: "I know you all have good taste and like a cute band as much as the rest of us. So it's time to let you in on a secret that just won't stay quiet for any longer. There's a beat combo from Brighton who number five that I've been watching for a while now and are set to storm the world faster than global warming. They go by the name of Shrag and have left hip underground publications like Artrocker and the New Musical Express chasing shadows and sniffing in vain after their scented backsides. Featuring the most enigmatic chanteuse in pop since Nico, Cambridge-dodger Helen turned her back on toffs and academia to sings songs about teenage pregnancy and unsuitable cunnilinguists. With Russell 'the' Warrior on bass, Leigh Anne 'sticks' Walter on drums, Bob 'badder than Mr Whitney Houston' Brown on guitar, their musical line-up was completed when they snatched Steph 'too Good for the Pipettes' Goodman away from the legendary Blue Minkies to play one-note keyboard. Each are masters of their craft and fear no-one in their ability to out drink any other musician who ever dared set foot on a stage – even Mark E Smith who they baited in a surreal dream sequence on their first single. Having fought off a major label bidding war, pop mogul giant John Jervis has been keeping them real on his highly esteemed Where Its At Is Where You Are label and releasing real 7 inch singles like the Shadows, Pavement and Prolapse used to make."

THE ETHICAL DEBATING SOCIETY - 08.30PM

The Ethical Debating Society began as the pseudonym for Tegan Christmas, who began writing anti-love songs on her hooty piano, but quickly blossomed into a full band, now with Kris-Martin on guitar, Rob Macabre playing pots and pans and Sumetha singing her art out. 4 songwriters. 4 attitude problems. 4 adverts for national service: they are The Ethical Debating Society. Most of their heroes don't appear on no stamps.
