Now all confirmed, THE CROOKES will headline our next Going Deaf For A Living night at the Kentish Town Bull & Gate next Thursday (August 19).

Ahead of the release of an EP on Fierce Panda Records and a tour of libraries (how many outstanding books do you have boys?) Sheffield’s scintillating songsmiths head up a bill which also features the nifty pop footwork of BOY MANDEVILLE and the smouldering “glossy groove” of MOON VISIONARIES.

Crookes we like because they’re actually very nice young blokes and their songs have bits of the Smiths, Orange Juice and Eddie Cochran. Not to mention the fact that lyrically they tie other bands in knots.

Boy Mandeville meanwhile, won us over with their recent single ‘Christina’, which was so cheery, you could get a lot of chores done round the house while listening to it.

And Moon Visionaries have already been one of those NME Breakthrough Bands Of The Day (plus you can download two of their songs from their website below).

Anyway it’s £6 to get in. Or £5 in advance from We Got Tickets

So come early and make a night of it. Here’s the stage times and links.

The Crookes : 10.15
Boy Mandeville : 9.30
Moon Visionaries : 8.30
