Back at Momo for Yes We KAN’T (Fri 22 Oct)

Tom — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 14:37:30 +0000

Ben and Severino are taking their wildly eclectic, beautifully chaotic musical journey, Yes We KAN’T, back to the stylish West End confines of Momo again next Friday.

To be found mashing up Momo regularly these days, Yes We KAN’T is a hedonistic affair whenever it touches down at this cozy basement party venue, so expect the usual scenes of dancefloor – and tabletop – abandon towards the end of the night.

You need to email noiseofart@gmail.com for free guestlist in advance.

Yes We KAN’T back at Momo Fri 20th August

Tom — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 16:10:13 +0000

After a month spent mostly playing in large fields, it’s time to return to our favourite West End basement on Friday 20th Aug.

Time Out info and map HERE:

Following some riotous one-offs, Yes We KAN’T returns to its irregular monthly mash-up in the fashionable confines of Momo, with residents Ben Osborne and Severino.

Expect nothing but the finest party eclecticism as jackin house meets Seventies funk rock, salsa meets glitched disco and drum n bass. Dancing on the tables is optional but may prove irresistable.

Entry is free all night, email noiseofart@gmail.com for details.

Slipped Disco’s UFO: Back at Big Chill House Friday 30th July

Tom — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:44:08 +0000

On Friday 30th July, runaway success story Slipped Disco’s UFO returns to Kings Cross with two floors of cosmic house, space funk and a roof terrace.

The night, inspired by London’s late ‘60’s UFO club, takes over the Big Chill House with a firing line up of jackin house, psychedelic beats, cosmic disco, wigged out funk and analogue electronics.

It sees seminal Nineties eclectic-cosmic DJ and Tummy Touch label boss, Tim “Love” Lee on the wheels of steel. Apart from being the man who discovered Groove Armada back in the 1990s, Lee has recently been causing a buzz wih his latest pych discovery, The Phenomenal Handclap Band.

He joins residents Ben Osborne and X-Press 2 man, Diesel, behind the decks, while Rupert The Brewer keeps it funky upstairs.

Captain Credible is literally from another planet. Norway. His show is an extraordinary, irresistible mix of theatre, music and insanity. This is his first time back since his UK debut at Slipped Disco last year. Not to be missed.

Also playing live, The 9000 return to rock our house down with their funked-up brand of electronic music meets Boosty Collins.

Other-worldly imagery and visuals come courtesy of regular art teams Overlap and Your Mum, while resident photographer Roulla will be on hand to portrait the glamorous.

Yes We KAN’T @ Momo, Fri 2nd July

Tom — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 08:48:12 +0000

It’s time for a mid-summer Yes We KAN’T session this Friday, back at our spiritual underground party lair, Momo.

After a series of packed out, mayhemic one-offs, DJs Severino and Ben Osborne launch their no holds barred, ad hoc monthly residency with a party mash-up in this fashionable central London haunt.

Osborne-Severino forays here cause sweet chaos as they mix from everything into anything (Seventies funk rock to salsa to glitched disco, jiggy house, drum n bass and bin munching b-lines), which regularly has them dancing on the tables. Even the doormen join in for the “one more tune” chorus.

Yes We KAN’T at Sketch this month, Fri 11 June

Tom — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:08:14 +0000

Continuing a series of one-off gigs, Yes We KAN’T moves into the salubrious Sketch club in the centre of London for a one-night party on Friday 11 June, with DJ Ben Osborne free-wheeling through the genres.

The venue played host to Noise of Art’s New Year’s Eve multi-media extravaganza and is a unique location for a party (including the famous Alien-inspired pod toilets, pictured). It’s free entry all night, but you’ll need to send an email to noiseofart@gmail.com for further details and to get on the list that ensures a nod at the door.

Then in July, Yes We KAN’T will settle down for an ad hoc residency back in the exotic environs of Momo in nearby Heddon St.
Current dates for the party calendar include Fridays 2nd July, 20th August and 17th September. Tables have a habit of being danced upon here, so we’re looking forward to the months ahead, kicking off with Sketch on the 11th…

Slipped Disco Bank Holiday Special presents Yes We KAN’T, Friday 28 May

Tom — Wed, 19 May 2010 13:35:28 +0000

Slipped Disco returns to its old stomping ground in Brick Lane for a one-off Bank Holiday Special on Friday 28th May as Severino and Ben Osborne move their no holds barred Yes We KAN’T double act east for one night only.

Check out the image above from the last Yes We KAN’T session at Momo, where we had them dancing on the tables and up on the bar once again.

The party returns to Momo on Friday 11 June for a monthly residency with residents Severino and Ben Osborne. (Free but register by sending a guest list request to noiseofart@gmail.com) while Slipped Disco’s UFO next takes place at Big Chill House in Kings Cross on Friday 25th June.

More details of those events to follow, but we’ll see you at the Big Chill Bar off Brick Lane before any of that to kick-start the Bank Holiday weekend in true Yes We KAN’T style.

Rounding off this April’s traditional month of Noise of Art actvity, NOA teams up with sister club Slipped Disco’s UFO for a night of music, visuals, performance art and DJs. Drawing its inspiration from the night’s UFO theme, the night will span live beat science, wigged out disco, psychedlic re-edits, bass fuelled sci fi funk and wah driven dancefloor rock – while art will come courtesy of regular Noise of Art collaborators, making this the biggest prog concept experience since Spinal Tap recreated Stonehenge.

“When we heard Slipped Disco, Noise of Art, Deep Space Disco polymath Ben Osborne was planning to resurrect the legendary UFO Club, our brains exploded.” (Eddy Lawrence, Time Out)

Yes We KAN’T at The Social: April 22nd

Tom — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 21:39:22 +0000

Noise of Art throws an intimate party during its month of activity. Continuing current prog embracing themes, this time NOA is inviting spoken art, words and electronic music to rub shoulders in a club environment.

Faro Isles performer, Budem, will start the evening’s music with a rare opportunity to see a UK performance of his version of the Faro isles story telling traditions. Combining theatre, literature and folk music traditions, his performances are mesmerising and like nothing you’ve seen before. This is the second appearance at Noise of Art, but given the last time was at the Royal Festival Hall, this promises to be a far more intimate affair.

Electronic audio visual outfit Sculpture make their Noise of Art debut with a new set that they’ll be touring around European festivals later this summer. And DJ Ben Osborne will be topping and tailing the night with a typically dancefloor shaking set.

Yes We KAN’T at Momo: April 9th & 7 Hour set at BCH: April 16

Tom — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 17:01:38 +0000

Friday 16 April…
Will see Noise of Art founder Ben Osborne play a seven hour set upstairs at the Big Chill House in Kings Cross. Entry is free until 10pm and then it’s £5 (as long as it’s not full).

Friday 9 April…
Having everyone stomping on the bar may not always be the best way to guarantee your return to one of central London’s swankiest venues, but that doesn’t seem to have stopped the ultra fashionable Momo from inviting Severino and Ben back to spin back to back again.

Their last foray here caused sweet chaos as they mixed from everything to anything (Seventies funk rock to salsa to glitched disco, jiggy house, drum n bass and bin munching b-lines). Even the bouncers didn’t want ‘em to stop.
