Bored of Brighton attended, on behalf of any readers who missed Thursday's pick, an excellent gig by Sparrow last week, and it's perhaps worth mentioning that the night - the first in a new series of weekly gigs at the Providence - may be worth keeping an eye on. Every week there'll be three bands for a pound, and that has to be one of the best value gigs in town. Can't guarantee that the bands will always be worth seeing, of course, but the omens are good - not only were Sparrow excellent (as promised), but a lively, energetic set by 900 Spaces - characterised by thudding basslines, itchy guitars and waves of shimmering synths - indicated the arrival of yet another highly promising Brighton band.
The band, who formed in Chichester and are now located in Brighton, have built the sort of momentum which indicates we may be hearing more of them - they were recently played on BBC 6music, and the self-evident pleasure the band take in performing their high-tempo indie-disco is reflected in their itinery - they've a bunch of gigs coming up, and this is clearly a band who love performing. Your next chance to see them, as luck would have it, is this very evening, when they play a benefit gig for RISE, the local charity and refuge which supports victims of domestic violence.
Happily, we've got a bit of an exclusive for you here - Bored in Brighton attended the gig last week armed with a digital camera and an MD player, and captured a sample of 900 Spaces' set. All you need to do, then, is click play and make a simple decision - whether to attend or not. It goes without saying, of course, that the charitable nature of tonight's show implies strongly that a Monday night-in this week is a night-in not worth having...
900 Spaces play their vibrant, day-glo disco-pop at JAM on Middle Street, along with Kaptan Swing, The Kid Jones, Reverb and Inertia.
Tickets are £4 on the door.
9pm-12.30am & DJ ‘til 2am.
