Written by Jon Stickler
The Gaymers Camden Crawl 2011 Tips series is back on Thursday January 27th with a line up bursting with electro-pop goodness. There’s no distinct holiday theme this time round – just a welcome evening off from the dreariness of January, with some great live music at The Bull & Gate.
Moving towards a more up-tempo feel from the December line-up, January’s bill will feature blissed out French multi-instrumentalist Anoraak and Worcester maverick Mat Motte (formerly of Mower), plus special guests yet to be announced.
Date: Thursday 27th January 2011
Venue: The Bull & Gate, 389 Kentish Town Road, Kentish Town, London NW5 2TJ
Tel. 020 7704 0187.

Doors: 7:00 pm / first act 7:30 SHARP
Tickets: £6.00 from or £7.00 door
Anoraak
French chillwave maestro Frédéric Rivière deals in piercing synths, nostalgic pop and a hefty dose of funk. Reminiscent of every summer you’ve ever spent in the sun, Anoraak is a breath of fresh air blown across the Channel to show you the light and get you dancing at the same time. www.myspace.com/anoraak
Mat Motte
Former frontman of the indie-pop band Mower, Mat Motte has re-invented himself with a unique mix of old- skool hip-hop, punk rap and psychedelic funk. Born of a hundred nights in dark basements and a smattering of summertime - it needs to be heard to be believed but it is well worth a listen. www.myspace.com/matmotte
The 2011 Gaymers Camden Crawl is scheduled for Saturday 30th April and Sunday 1st May. The forthcoming May Bank Holiday event will mark the tenth edition of the Crawl since its inception in 1995. The organisers are currently amidst plans to top this year’s star studded line up which included such luminaries as Pendulum, The Drums, Plan B, Teenage Fanclub, We Are Scientists, Lostprophets, Roots Manuva, Lightspeed Champion and Gang of Four alongside more than 200 of the brightest new hopes from the UK and abroad across its 50 official Camden area venues. Also included in cost of the ticket, the daytime fringe festival at the Crawl will continue to include a diverse schedule of Britain’s best cutting edge comedy & spoken word, an expanded poster art fair, live karaoke, cabaret and performing arts, quizzes & pub games, BBQs and a whole host of added surprises. All daytime fringe events will, of course, be accompanied by a superb line up of live music across a plethora of unique venues and outdoor stages.
The 2011 Gaymers Camden Crawl programme will kick off from midday on Saturday 30th April until the early hours of the following bank holiday Monday. Upon arrival ticket holders will receive an all access wristband (individual venue capacities permitting), programme guide, magazine and download album to help navigate their festival adventures. It is worth noting, that all 2011 festival tickets will allow access to ALL venues and no supplementary passes will be required.
As is tradition, the full venue schedules will remain secret until the event and surprise guests may appear at any time and at any venue. The top quality evening line-ups are democratically selected by a committee of music industry tastemakers, including radio DJs, club promoters, journalists and record labels with the most hotly tipped acts appearing on the bill both days and featuring on the festival’s annual free compilation album. 15% off early bird weekend tickets for the Gaymers Camden Crawl 2011 are on sale now and initial line-ups and 10th birthday celebration events will be announced January 2011.
