I(HEART) MUSIC PROMOTIONS...Present:

I(HEART)..LIVE!

Tuesday 3rd August, Proud Camden

THE BOOK CLUB // KITES // ERIC NESS // INVASION OF...


Cult South London night, I (Heart), return to the legendary Proud Camden with a rare line-up of alumni from some of Britain’s biggest indie bands

On Tuesday 3rd August, Proud Camden’s revamped stables will host the exclusive showcase of new projects from The Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things and Milburn. For one night only, I (Heart) will give music-lovers and fans of indie behemoths the chance to get up-close-and-personal with some of their hero’s with the highly anticipated debut of their new bands The Invasion Of and The Book Club.


Having already earned an envious reputation in the music industry as an ex-Libertine and Dirty Pretty Thing, Gary Powell continues his musical triumph with a performance at Proud Camden. Powell’s time in the industry has earned him a string of titles including Best New Band from NME and MTV2 with Dirty Pretty Things, and a wealth of critical approval and notoriority from his time in The Libertines as Pete Doherty’s right-hand-man - not to mention supporting everyone from The Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Pet Shop Boys. Born out of the demise of Dirty Pretty Things, Powell’s new 5-piece band The Invasion Of will kick the evening off with their eclectic mix of rock n’ roll. Fans of Powell’s former bands will not be disappointed with what promises to be a spectacular debut.


Continuing this impressive start is Camden-based Musician Eric Ness. Brilliantly fusing glam jazz, pop, and swing the Norwegian born singer/songwriter and his 7-piece band are well-known for whipping crowds into a dancing frenzy. His live shows are somewhat of a spectacle, including wildly sexy back-up singers - one who alternates between playing flute and belting out riffs, and a plethora of instruments from double bass to mandolins. Expect hints of jazz, swing, and big band from this unusual act.

Joining the mix is a band described as bridging the gap between Joy Division and Donna Summer - Kites.


Headlining this spectacular night are indie new kids on the block The Book Club, founded by Joe Carnall of infamous Sheffield indie rock band Milburn. Carnall’s success includes touring with big brothers The Arctic Monkeys and signing an exclusive deal with Mercury Records. After taking time away from Milburn, Carnall has kept it in the family and gathered his cousins to produce what has fast become a popular beat combo. Carnall fans can expect to hear the familiar voice and melody from his Millburn days but with a new edge.

To top off this rare line-up of live acts with floor-filling DJ sets is the hugely entertaining I (Heart) and Don’t Wait Animate DJ’s.


Following recently completed refurbishment, the Proud venue itself is now even more fitting for I (Heart)’s new night. Contrasting sharply to Proud’s previous look, the South gallery, main gig room, stables area and brand new terraced café have undergone extreme renovation and redesign to dramatically change the Proud Camden experience. With guests such as Amy Winehouse, Jarvis Cocker and Mumford & Sons adorning the new venue earlier this month, I (Heart)’s new night promises to add even more music VIP names to the new Proud
Camden.
