    Last Witness
    First taking to the stage in late 2006, Last Witness immediately caused a stir in the UK hardcore scene. For the next 18 months the band tore their way through the country on a relentless show schedule, culminating in a European tour before playing a sold-out farewell show at London's Barfly. Blistered, ephemeral, exhausted, the band parted ways leaving fans gasping for breath. Fast forward to 2010, when following the overwhelming response to the post-humous release of their originally shelved 2008 debut, ‘An Unfinished Life’, the band reformed and unveiled an all new 7”, the acclaimed ‘Give Up’, and haven’t looked back since.

    Crowns
    Ship ahoy! Finally something on the horizon you can hold dear. If you’re lost in a murky sea, where songwriters parade Americana as the ‘new-folk’ – Crowns are here to throw you a lifeline. Growing up in Cornwall, it wasn’t all surfing and pasties for these boys. At the same time as songwriter Bill Jefferson was learning old Cornish tunes, the rest were playing in various punk bands in their local town. It was only when combining these two wild elements that Crowns found their rousing sound and began to write the salty, sing-a-long anthems that make up their set today.

    "On February 24th we descend upon the Funktion 1 packing Old Blue Last in Shoreditch. Having hosted some ace shows there in 2011 including performances from musical hotshots; Ulrich Schnauss, Radioactive Man, worriedaboutsatan, Antwerp and more we can't wait to trend the floor boards once again. Topping the bill for us in February a young gentleman who has certainly been making a name for himself of late, Graphics. His recent tracks and remixes have been picking up support from the likes of Jamie xx, Mary Anne Hobbs, Diplo, Switch, Rob Da Bank and with his an EP release on Jesse Rose's Made to Play label it's safe to say that Graphics is going to making some serious musical waves this year. Another producer making the live 44 debut appearance is Glover. Having cut his teeth DJ'ing and performing live across festivals and venues in the North of England, he's now residing in London and we're over to the moon to have him performing live at 44 for us. Last but by no means least, Mister Sushi and Roxanne Roll will be joining the dots between disco, techno and whenever else takes their fancy." - 44

    Let's Talk Daggers Live
    Palm Reader Live

    Let's Talk Daggers
    Let’s Talk Daggers are a three piece experimental post-hardcore band from Eastbourne, UK. Despite originating from a coastal town that’s more often associated as a retirement destination rather than a musical hub, the band play a style of music that couldn’t be any more of an antithesis to their sleepy backdrop. Loud, fast and frantic, their sound is an unnerving blend of genres and styles that would come across as disjointed and cocophonous if attempted by most bands, incorporating elements of art-punk, hardcore, jazz and metal.

    Apologies, I have none began life as a 2-piece in London in 2006, and quickly built up a name for themselves by playing anywhere and everywhere, from basements to squats to pubs. Having gained a good underground following in the UK punk scene, they added 2 more members in 2009 and stepped up their game, with more complex/ layered songs and higher profile shows. With 3 releases to date and a much anticipated full-length on the way, A,IHN are definitely one to watch.

    ATP CONCERTS
    Retribution Gospel Choir Live
    Plus Special Guests

    The most important thing to know about the rock trio Retribution Gospel Choir is that they are likely the most physically fit band on Earth. Drummer Eric Pollard is a distance swimmer, and Ultimate Frisbee champion with state basketball credentials. Bassist Steve Garrington also dazzles on the court, but it’s his long-distance running skills that mark him a champion. Alan Sparhawk, who plays guitar and sings, has extensive experience in American football, has been scouted for coaching work and stays fit as a distance trail runner and member of the band Low. Certainly, this trio would destroy any other band in a 10k race, and then still do the gig.

    This new record, 2, comes on the heels of the band’s 2008 self-titled debut that was released on Caldo Verde, a label run by Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon). Since then, Retribution Gospel Choir has toured extensively, including US stints with Wilco and the Meat Puppets. The band was invited early on to play festivals in Spain (Primavera Sound) and the UK (All Tomorrow’s Parties), and were met with hugely positive reactions and invitations to return.

    Tracked in their hometown of Duluth, Minnesota, 2 was then mixed by Matt Beckley, an up-and-coming producer from Los Angeles with credits that include Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. What seems like a strange pairing actually resulted in an album that is raw and technologically perverse, visceral and shiny—a true statement of what can be done with a great rock band in the 21st century. Short, inventive pop songs collide with heavy guitar chaos and psychedelia as the record climbs and dives like a twin-engine bomber, all accompanied by a vocal sophistication that’s rare in new music.

With that said, we’re very excited to celebrate the upcoming release of our new record with what is sure to be a mental gig at The Old Blue Last. See you there!"
