VIGSY’S CLUB TIP: Soundclash at KoKo
I rather like The Bays and their ethos, which is probably why they’re almost certainly the most tipped band in the Club Tip slot (not that I’ve counted, but I’m pretty sure that’s true). As you all surely know by now, The Bays only EVER play live. Comprised of the ultra hardworking Andy Gangadeen on drums, electronic soulster Jamie Odell (Freerange Records boss, aka The Jimpster) on keyboards and synths, Simon Richmond (from Palmskin Productions) providing effects and samples, and Chris Taylor on bass, there are no set songs to perform, no album to promote, or anything like that. With no rehearsals or anything, they just show up and jam, with brilliant effect. And, of course, it’s an approach which means every show is totally unique. Also on at the former Camden Palais this weekend are Pest Live, the crazy quintet from Ninja Tune, plus Red Snapper and the John Kennedy Live Band. How’s about that then?

Saturday 4th Apr, KoKo, 1a Camden High St, London, NW1, 9pm-3am, £15 adv, details at www.koko.uk.com and www.thebays.com
