Why Don't You... Sing Some Motown?

Tonight, that's right I said tonight, the Vibe Bar is putting on a very special evening of karaoke.  Now, this isn't the kind of karaoke where people with headache-inducing vocals sing along to lackluster backing music, no indeed.  This karaoke has a 6 piece live funk band backing you to all the Motown classics.  The evening, suitably entitled 'Soul Brew', only requires you to sign up to sing and a small 4 pound investment.  So get your fellow Supremes ready and start practicing those moves!

Gig tonight.

'In the Neighborhood' favourite, The Brute Chorus play at Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen this evening.  They will be sharing the intimate venue's stage with The Bookhouse Boys and Gold Sounds, followed by Clash DJ's.  The Brute Chorus's live show transcends awesome and stands much closer to mind-blowing.  To miss out would be a very silly thing. 

Tickets are £5 in advance and £6 on the door. Doors open @ 20.15

Pixies Surprise Show!

Last night, the Pixies titillated a lucky crowd by performing an impromptu set at the Village Underground in Shoreditch.  Frank Black and fellow band mates played a 13-piece that perfectly  coincided with the artwork from their upcoming boxset 'Minotaur', which was also being showcased at the venue.  Some of the audience included the Klaxons' Jamie Reynolds and James Righton, and My Bloody Valentines' Kevin Shields.  Sure wish we had happened to be there!  Just goes to show you never know what can happen in the neighborhood.

A Shoreditch speciality- warehouse parties.

On Friday night, we of 'In the Neighborhood' attended a Red Bull Music Academy Party held at Cordy House. 

Cordy House is a dynamic event space on Curtain Road hosting fashion shows, samples sales, press days, fashion shoots and private parties galore.  We first made acquaintance with Cordy House last year when it acted as home-base for the 'Shoreditch Shuffle' and its rooftop terrace as a barbecue/lounge spot. 

Thanks to the unique location and music from singer/rapper/electro-girl Goldielocks (not to mention the open bar) the party provided an ideal escape from the circus Shoreditch becomes on a Friday night. 

A huge thank you to Red Bull Music Academy and to our friends at Modus PR.
