Fun Lovin’ Criminals to
Appear in Court
Smirnoff Orignal Nights to Launch New Nightlife Concept SILENT DISCO LIVE
The Smirnoff Co. is pleased to announce the
latest ground-breaking addition to its Original
Nights platform; Silent Disco Live,
which will see Scooby Snackers Fun Lovin’ Criminals performing a one-off gig at
The Royal Courts of Justice. An iconic London institution synonymous with
silence, The Royal Courts has never played host to a rock concert in its 126
year history, but on Wednesday September 10th, the NYC-funksters will bring a
whole new meaning to the phrase “Silence in Court.”
As part of the brand’s ongoing commitment to celebrate
progressive & forward-thinking nightlife, this event - which will bring the
familiar Silent Disco format into the live arena - will mark the launch of a
new, 10-month programme for Smirnoff Original Nights®. Following
rave reviews at Glastonbury and the Massive Attack-curated Meltdown
Festival on London’s SouthBank, the Smirnoff brand will be showcasing the
Silent Disco technology with a very special set from favourite funksters Fun
Lovin’ Criminals.
Nick Mills from Smirnoff Original Nights commented: “Silent
Disco is one of the most original nightlife concepts of recent years, allowing
the audience to share an outwardly soundless musical experience by listening to
DJs, and now live bands, via wireless headphones. In terms of soundproofing the
live event with the Fun Lovin’ Criminals, the drummer will be in a totally
soundproof box. As with other Silent Disco events, the sound is amplified 100%
through the headphones and not speakers, meaning guitars and vocals won’t be
audible to the crowd. It also means that the sound quality is actually better
than that of a normal gig as noise pollution is taken out of the equation and
everyone has the same sonic experience.”
Despite their name, this will be the band’s first
appearance at The Royal Courts of Justice. However, there will be no judge calling
order over the 650 headphoned gig-goers lucky enough to get their hands on
tickets. In a setting ordinarily associated with quiet and reserve, Fun Lovin’
Criminals will defy the establishment and redefine the gig experience through
the legendary Silent Disco wireless headphones. The
event will also feature Silent Disco resident and co-founder, dj OD, who has
played all over the globe since inventing the concept with friend and fellow
resident, NO dj in 2002.
The Fun Lovin’ Criminals have been perfecting their
eclectic brand of alternative rock since the release of their acclaimed debut
album Come Find Yourself and its
much-loved lead single Scooby Snacks. 13 years and five albums later, the band are
still touring relentlessly and, fresh from a triumphant set on Glastonbury’s
Jazz World stage, are back once again to
add their names to a long list of exceptional performances that have taken place
at Smirnoff Original Nights over the past couple of years.
As ever, there will be tasty Smirnoff cocktails and
guests will be served in unique ways , including a “silent bar” and “silent
cocktails” in keeping with the theme for the night.
Free tickets for the event will only be available via
application on the new home for Original Nights at - www.facebook.com/smirnofforiginalnights
- or through competitions in selected media.
