Here they are bringing some angry rock to Now We Are festival last weekend.

So, for starters, here’s the soulful The Amazing Graces taking to the stage last Thursday, debuting a new song which is really rather good indeed.

And here is Rebekah Delgado and her ‘drunk choir’. Feast your eyes on some harmonium, musical sax and, uh, sex noises.

First up, we have the delectable Serena Soya.

And here is hotly tipped Dizzee collaborator, MC Scrufizzer.

Milly’s events are always rammed featuring the best up-coming acts from the underground scene and you can find them every couple of months at The Monarch. Next event: April 18th.

The final line up for 2011’s Gaymers Camden Crawl has been announced, including some exciting late additions such as appearances by top grime MC Tinchy Stryder and former Blur guitarist Graham Coxon.

The festival, which is now in its sixteenth year, takes place over the May Bank Holiday weekend (30th April-1st May) in 39 bars and venues in the Camden area of North London, including The Forum, Koko, Barfly and ‘Camden Bars’ venues The Camden Head, Enterprise, Monarch and Abbey Tavern.

Highlights include performances by established acts such as The Lemonheads, British Sea Power, Killing Joke, Razorlight, Guillemots, Saint Etienne, The View, and Simian Mobile Disco.

In addition to this year’s extraordinary live music line up, the festival continues to develop the breadth of its daytime fringe arts festival. Featuring a vast array of comedic talent, visual art and crafts exhibitions, spoken word and performance theatre, interactive events & games and, of course, live music, the daytime carnival of entertainment sprawls across an additional thirty Camden Town venues for the weekend from 12 – 6pm both dates.

Immediately following the festival’s fringe programme of cutting edge arts during the daylight hours, the streets of Camden will literally come alive with music. Straddling more than twenty venues, the Crawl evening schedule features over 200 of the best up & coming artists from the UK and abroad alongside seminal greats and very special guests. The evening line up kicks off from 5:30 pm and runs until the wee hours on both days of the weekend.

Upon arrival at the festival each ticket holder is presented with an all-access wristband, programme guide, timetable and free download album to help plot his/her day’s adventure. ‘Crawlers’ are then granted unlimited access to all official daytime and evening venues and parties capacity permitting. As is tradition, the full venue schedules will remain secret until the event and surprise guests may appear at any time and at any venue.

Taking place at THE MONARCH this year is live music all day. Our hosts are Kangol, PRS, and Canadian Blast and will include sets from Gallops, Bear Driver, The Good Natured, Russian Futurists, Bright Light Bright Light, The Lines, Jonquil, Bleech, Turbogeist, The Mountains And The Trees, Eagulls, Random Impulse, Young Empires and We Are Animal. Seeing us through to the early hours are The Monarch’s own club nights Soundtracks and Kings And Queens.

Remember the original TOTP? Part of its joy was the fact that you
didn’t know who would be on, you’d have the unlikeliest acts next to
each other, local one hit wonders next to international superstars.
T.O.T.P. is about having FUN with a capital F. Strut your stuff with
Mime-a-oke (mime just like the stars used to do on TOTP with costume
box provided), dance like you’re on TV and importantly, we think,
drink at pub prices.
