THE BEAT! present : 'THE VISITATION'
20:00-00:00
Free Entry
An evening of spaced out music and visuals in the loft of The Lock Tavern encompassing
slo-mo disco, progressive rock and psychedelic soul. Apparently, the night could only be 'more awesome if the PA was made from unicorns', according to a journalist who, one can only hope, has found help for his dependance on hallucinogenic substances, since his tenure in the Time Out office.

Dry The River live
Laura Hocking live
Wise Children live
Mark Is Egg dj
Plundercats djs
Monkeysuit is run by music lovers for music loving people and was born out of pure frustration and disillusionment from a number of ill managed events they’d attended. Thus they vowed to do it themselves and do it better. Tonight they're spoiling us, with a special acoustic set from an act whose social-awareness and stage presence have captured the imagination of Radio 1's Rob Da Bank and Huw Stephens.

Free Entry
Selfish Cunt dj set
Sleaford Mods live
The Agitator live
Bonanza dj set
Imagine a Juke-Joint in outer space and you'll be somewhere close to the premise of Bonanza's new night The Kosmic Juke-Joint. Expect Bands and Djs tracing the roots and subsequent influence of the Blues through to Psychedelia or the history of the droning analogue synth right through to glitchy, computer based electronica and sampladelia. If Muddy Waters next to Kraftwerk plus the best, new, cutting edge acts live on stage doesn't seem wrong to you, then you'll love it. At the Kosmic Juke Joint anything can happen!

Lord Auch Live
Andrew Weatherall Dj
Sexbeat Dj
Ben Lanzarote Dj
Psyche Milligan Dj
Any endeavour which strives to bring together junk funk, the erotic soundtrack of the 1970's, gnarly garage, Notting Hill bohemian space-rock and the hushed straight up soul ballad is worthy of attention. When you factor in special guest DJ Andrew Weatherall (he's a bit good!), soundtracking the night with rare rockabilly and psyche gems, and 'hotly-tipped' East End melodramatic garage heroes Lord Auch, adding some brooding macabre to proceedings, it seems we have ourselves a winner here!

The Small Disco
20:00-01:00
Free Entry
Gino Silano Dj
The Lock Tavern's very own iTunes curator will be playing a fusion of Space Disco, Disco Not Disco, Old Skool Disco, 80s Punk Funk and a few surprises. You might ask why we don't just leave the iTunes running, and save ourselves a return bus ticket and a couple of shandies in the process, but we think you'll agree the extra-sensory appeal of the great man's physical presence is something wonderful to behold.

The Vinyl Stitches live
Brain Washington live
Dirty Omar Dj
A death-pop special from the unofficial Mayor of Camden, Dirty Omar gets all the right bands drunk, and coerces them into performing on the hallowed Lock Tavern stage. If it wasn't for the efforts of our favourite local dissident, it could be argued that Camden's postcode would be a lowly NW2, NW3, or possibly even NW4.

Tom Frog dj
Dannyboy dj
Kev Kev dj
Mikey Spider dj
Radio Arkham dj
A monthly Friday from the evil genii behind Sensible Sundays, whose good times simply refused to be confined to a mere monthly Sunday. Designed to be as much as a social get together as an all out party, tonight they've decided that booking a live act might possibly have been less fun than a riotous DJ battle from the cast members of Camden's very own incestuous soap opera.
Saturday 27th February

A special treat for all fans of Xbox loving, fuzzy noise-popsters The Big Pink tonight, as the most fearsome half of the Cerberus steps into the Lock´s Small Disco.

"NIKA Club!? On a Sunday?". That's what NIKA Club said when we ordered them to put together a special sunday session, but as soon as we flashed a great wad of cash at them, their involvement was beyond doubt.
