The top "thing" is a "Super Funny Children's Toy" ... apparently. What you
do is set up the train tracks, put your little Geroge Bush on his big tank
with his big machine gun and then you put your little Osama Bin Laden on his
little, um, skateboard and then set the motor going. Que HOURS of fun
watching Bush Chase Osama around the track.

The other things are 1) 1 Fez (from Morroco) 2) 1 dagger (from Morroco) 3)
Some limited edition Ralph Steadman booze (empty...)with the addage "Good
people drink good beer" from the old man Hunter S. Thompson (from
Barcelona).

There were other things but they aren't as fun. They're girly.

Bit of a tiz when the HEADLINE band backed out two weeks before the gig but
we've the inimitable Mama Shamone taking their place.
As you can see the flyer is done by our very own Judo Jule (although I had
to add in the MS stamp thing...

Big City Redneck Presents at teh Buffalo Bar

June 19th

Mama Shamone
http://www.myspace.com/mamashamone
/> "Put Mama Shamone on at any venue and they are likely to take the roof off,
this was one of the best live shows I've seen in years - certainly one of
the best in London. In my opinion these guys are destined for greatness, it
felt like I was witnessing history being shaped-something was just so right
about what they were doing up there." Vibe Bar

We Yes You No

/> "We Yes You No sing about the end of the world, the end of everything. But
in an apocalypse that would sound like this I would buy god's last EP" – Big
City Redneck

Language

/> ""The verbosity of funk, the poetic twang of intelligent pop. The bridge
between Franz Ferdinand and Smashing Pumpkins perhaps" – Bugbear

DJ: Dirty Omar

Big City Redneck delves into the seedier, saucier and more salacious side of
Rock 'N' Roll for this monthly gig night. Big Double Bass Rock and Roller
surf headliners Tom Allalone and the 78's, the last ever London date for
art-punk upstarts The Flesh Happening, and finally the rum soaked
shanty-hardcoreists The Owlls on first support.
Thursday, May 8

8:30pm-1:00am

Good Goshes! Could you really, truly, honestly ask for more? Expect lashings

This is a picture of my gran when she was around 20 I think. She called it
"the face on the cutting room floor" - a take on the epic pub poem the face
on the bar-room floor.

I wish the genes had carried on, I'm not that fit.

The third of the BCR Presents nights at the Buffalo Bar. Always good. Do
come along!

/> "One of the highlights of my year, without a doubt. Visionaries follow their
muse regardless of the world around them and that couldn't be more true of
they came from the stars I saw them... Numbering as many as 30 in the past,
they've now trimmed down to a more manageable four-piece, but their music is
still as astonishingly catchy as ever, somehow combining krautrock, space
rock, free jazz, soul and funk into a pure pop concoction... with brilliant
titles and wonderful, hypnotic singalong tunes.... ahead of their time...

combo and to hear is to believe!"

Canal have a bi-weekly show on Resonance FM and a great retro website. Can
one band really sound like Nick Cave singing in the B52s?"
