We are not part of the official Crawl this year which means you don’t need a wristband to get in. Oh yes. On May 1st we have a one-off night called Kings And Queens – party music, soundtracks and so on – and on May 2nd is the triumphant return of Grimble And Porn – which is like a house party… but in a pub.
After the brilliance of Play It By Ear’s Make Some Noise event in Feb (it raised £2,300 for the CSC – thank you!) they’ve awoken fresher and more boisterous than ever to celebrate PIBE’s Second Spectacular Birthday!!
Get ready for the party of all parties with three amazing bands, cake, balloons, sweets and more dancefloor action than your dainty twinkled toes can imagine!
Oh and did we tell you that we’ll be open later now? Which means even more dancing to our 3 fantastic DJs, plus possibly some very special guests…….and the chance for more Jagerbombing!
DON’T STOP BELIEVING.

LIVE:
ANIMAL KINGDOM
http://www.myspace.com/weareanimalkingdom
To finish off the night we call on a band whose songs are truly epic. Their first release got rave reviews and now signed up to Warner Music, Animal Kingdom are building a spectacular live show with their sound reminiscent of Mew or a more song-based Sigur Rós.
“The sonic sweep and grandeur of early Radiohead and second album-era Coldplay … Achingly beautiful celestial indie … Will have Sigur Rós quivering with envy.” The Guardian
BABE SHADOW
http://www.myspace.com/babeshadowband
Your chance to catch one of London’s hottest new acts before they go on tour with Florence & The Machine in May and become super massive big.
This duo play songs that will whirl around your head for days with their mix of traditional folk and an otherworldly tropical oasis of holiday fun.
It’s uplifting frivolity on the beach kind of stuff, calling to mind everything from Mystery Jets to XTC.
THE GOOD NATURED
http://www.myspace.com/thegoodnatured
With pounding pianos providing the undertones of a rave tune, this is the perfect opener to a full-on birthday bash!
“She sounds like a warmer, more personal Ladytron.” The Guardian
