• Available from One-Up Records (01224) 642662 or http://www.ticketweb.co.uk
• “Scottish folk singer Alasdair Roberts is an anomaly. His appropriation of antique songs calls to mind the prospecting of Daniel Day-Lewis's oilman in There Will Be Blood: he performs the subterranean, hardscrabble toil of research, then plunges his drill down deep, coming back with black gold.” (The Independent)
• KIILA is a collective based in Turku, Finland, epitomising the exciting new wave of music coming out of Finland in recent years, typified by the output of the label Fonal. This will be their first ever UK tour.

I LEFT MY SOUL IN DETROIT : GILES SMITH

• For our first party of the year I Left My Soul in Detroit are extremely proud to present Giles Smith, co-promotor and resident DJ at the underground institution that is secretsundaze in London.
• Giles' love of the deepest underground house and techno kicked off in earnest via his residency for the legendary Faith parties, where he cut his teeth under the tutelage of X-Press 2 and Terry Farley. He soon left, however, to begin secretsundaze with James Priestley, building up the brand into London's hottest event. In the last few years Giles' reputation and talent has led him to be one of the most in demand djs so we are privileged that he is coming to dj for ILMSIND.
• On warm-up duties we combine the outstanding talents of our own resident Dex and Frankly resident Fuad going B2B...

• • Doors: 23:00
  • in 9 days and 07:46 hours.

And possibly cake. If you're good.

• Free invites will be available via Retro Rebels and Coco Violet, otherwise it's £3 on the door.

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here".

ACOUSTIC LADYLAND, MIN DIESEL

• Bonding over a mutual distaste for musical sterility and an inclination toward the more exciting and dangerous end of modern music, Acoustic Ladyland have been blowing minds since their inception in 2001. The band is Pete Wareham (saxophone), the recently-joined Chris Sharkey (guitar) Ruth Goller (bass) and Sebastian Rochford (drums).
• This fresh incarnation of Acoustic Ladyland sets the bar even higher than before and has arguably achieved their most potent and lucid album to date, the long-awaited Living With A Tiger (out July 6th 2009).
• “Acoustic Ladyland return with a ferocious, slash-and-burn, minimalist sound that already makes this a contender for alt. jazz album of the year.” ✭✭✭✭✭ TIME OUT
• Advance tickets £10 from One-Up (01224) 642662 or £12 at the door.

• Doors: 20:00
• in 23 days and 04:46 hours.
