HOLY POPES – ALBUM LAUNCH PARTY!!!
Bristol-based post-garage/punk trio feat Dominic Knight (ex-The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster), Liam Dowling (ex Bad for Lazarus) with Luke Bujniewicz – Drums
“A sound like IDLES meets Iggy Pop in a boxing ring with Nick Drake as the referee”
‘Holy popes’—the irony of giving godly importance to man made ideas. Systems of oppression created to make us subservient to religion, to capitalism, to patriarchy. It’s a farce, and music is a machine that kills fascism and bigotry,” enthuses Knight. “Let’s dance whilst we overthrow harmful systems.”

50 years after the genre turned the music world upside-down, Grade 2 bring the raw power of old school punk to a new generation. Their second release on TimArmstrong’s legendary Hellcat Records is a thumping 15 track tour de force melding the uncompromising ethos of punk with the howl of contemporary injustice, personal identity and frustrations of Gen-Z youth, authentically told by three lads with punk coursing through their veins.
Formed on their native Isle of Wight when they were just 14 years old, Jack Chatfield (guitar & vocals), Jacob Hull (drums) and Sid Ryan (bass & vocals) honed their craft covering punk pioneers before creating a sound uniquely theirs: ten years on, the eponymous ‘Grade 2’ is their magnus opus. From the complex rhythms and brutal two-note guitar of opening track ‘Judgement Day’, the record grabs by the scruff of the neck and never lets up. With a commitment to the cause, lead single ‘DoingTime’ is a thunderous hardcore punk track screaming “Spoon feed me corporate lies;I left that place with a noose to my neck.” Intertwined are upbeat bangers (‘Under theStreetlight’, ‘Celine’), classic pop-punk (‘Don’t Stand Alone’, ‘Fast Pace’), and savage old-school grit (‘Parasite’, ‘Gaslight’). The result is a bone-crunching 35-minutes that agitates, intoxicates and liberates in equal measure.
“Like everyone else, 2020 left us proper fucked off,” says frontman Sid Ryan. “Yet we were able to channel every ounce of that despair into every second of this record.”
“Returning to Ship Rec Studio resparked that magic dynamic” says guitarist Jack Chatfield. “When we’re in there I feel like we reach our full potential. Tim would offer tweaks and tips for some songs, while others he’d compliment as finished first timewe played them.”
“We worked flat-out recording this record,” says drummer Jacob Hull, “but we neverfelt pressured, Tim keeping us in the zone to make the best tunes of our lives.”
Famed for blistering live performances and exceptional musicianship, the band haveconsolidated the essence of their live show in ‘Grade 2’. Tune in and turn up. Here’sa record to rattle your bones, stir your heart and have you singing till you’re hoarselike it’s the first day of punk.

Phil Davis is among the most familiar actors on British television, having appeared in many popular TV dramas over the past fifty years. Notable roles were series’ such as Poldark, Sherlock, as the villain in the first episode, Bleak House, based on Charles Dickens’ novel, Whitechapel and the supernatural drama Being Human. He was also in series’ such as Silent Witness, Inspector Morse and Play for Today, from 1977 to 1980. Phil’s film appearances include Quadrophenia, The Bounty and Mike Leigh’s High Hopes and Vera Drake, for which he was BAFTA-nominated, as well as In the Name of the Father and Alien 3. Daniel Day Lewis, a co-star of The Bounty and In the Name of the Father, cited him as being among his greatest influences.
Steve Norman is saxophonist, guitarist, percussionist, songwriter and founding member of the world-famous band Spandau Ballet, which had 23 hit singles including True, on which he played the legendary saxophone solo, Gold and Through the Barricades. They sold over 25 million records and have received numerous multi-platinum awards. The band performed at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium and appeared on Band Aid’s Do They Know it’s Christmas. In 1990, after the members went their separate ways, Steve moved to Ibiza, finding a love for dance music. To this day, he is occasionally a DJ, specialising in New Romantic music. In 2009, Spandau Ballet reunited and undertook the worldwide Reformation tour and released the album Once More, with the title track co-written by Steve. Among others, he has performed with Iggy Pop, Marc Almond, Belinda Carlisle and Kim Wilde. His love for David Bowie’s music led him to cofound the band Holy Holy, with Spiders from Mars’ Woody Woodmansey and Tony Visconti. In 2017, with a band, Steve played many shows in London and other European cities. He still regularly performs solo and with his band, The Sleevz, and is also behind 80s Pioneers, a collective of artists that helped shape that popular decade. As its curator, Steve assembles a top-class house band and singers, individually customised for each event, which he also introduces and performs with.

The music is improvised around a riff or simple chord progression, with the groove as the guide. Occasionally we might slip into tunes like Cantaloupe Island, Maiden Voyage or Chameleon.
Someone calls a key and starts a riff and everyone brings their sound to the mix. It’s a great opportunity to stretch out, work on your improvising or just dance to the funky grooves. Everyone is welcome, percussionists, horn players, vocalists, rappers, didgeridoo and harmonica players too.
As with most jams, amps, keyboards and drums are provided, please treat them with respect. Guitarists, bassists, horn players etc please bring your own instruments. Please arrive in good time so we can get you up to do 1 or 2 numbers.
If you want some clues about the kind of stuff we do, check out bands like The Brand New Heavies, Down to the Bone, Jamiroquai, Incognito, Herbie Hancocks Headhunters and John Scofields Uberjam as well as the demo on the BGP page. http://soundcloud.com/brighton-groove-project/short-demo
Entry is free and there will be an opportunity to donate to the house bands during the night.

L’Eclair
Swiss sextet L’Eclair play an ever-evolving, undefinable brand of groove-heavy instrumentals which effortlessly fuse the band’s many influences, including Krautrock, Afrobeat, funk, and library music. The band’s first few recordings, such as 2019’s Sauropoda, captured the freewheeling, improvisatory spirit of their live shows, while 2021’s sprawling Confusions was a more ambitious, focused studio production. Keyboard player Sébastien Bui and guitarist Stefan Lilov conceived L’Eclair in 2015 while they were living in London following their high school graduation. After moving back to their home city of Geneva, the band began to take shape as bassist Elie Ghersinu and drummer Yavor Lilov joined, with percussionist Quentin Pilet and keyboardist/cowbell player Alain Sandri completing the lineup.

Self-described as a “movement for positive social change”, Action for Happiness is a national charity aimed at increasing basic levels of happiness through whatever means they have and is a long-term friend of Latest Music Bar. Here’s what they have to say about their mission….
We’re bringing together people from all walks of life who want to play a part in creating a happier society for everyone. For fifty years we’ve aimed relentlessly at higher incomes. But despite being much wealthier, we’re no happier than we were five decades ago. At the same time we’ve seen an increase in wider social issues, including a worrying rise in anxiety and depression in young people. It’s time for a positive change in what we mean by progress.
