le Beat Bespoke April 2012 (London)

Post by redcloud »

Anybody in the UK going to this?:

I went to one several years ago at the Rocket in London. The Chocolate Watchband headlined that year (reuniting the surviving members inc. Dave Aguilar)! Very cool little festival that seems to dig up the old psychedelic dudes to play one off shows but also has young bands playing with them. Similar, I guess, to Austin's Psych Fest.

HOWEVER, this one is different because the Pretties have continued to play over the years but they have NEVER played their 'Electric Banana' stuff. I've seen Arthur Brown before (with the Pretties, in fact) and a reformed, one off gig by July sounds kinda fun...but man, I would LOVE to see the Pretties play an entire set of 'Electric Banana' material.

Anybody planning to go please take photos, report back and if you are able to record it...please do share! 8)
