THE LAVA LOUNGE & BIFF BANG POW present: LOSE YOUR COOL -  August 27/28/29th 2010

Swingin’ Leicester: famed for the Elephant man, Gary Lineker, Englebert Humperdink and orange cheese, will be playing host to a rather exciting weekender this summer: Lose Your Cool! This 3 day festival of far-out fuzz and fun is happening over August bank holiday at the Firebug in Leicester, perfect for getting hot and bothered to a host of unruly and rulin’ bands and rowdy record wranglers. With the guys from Biff Bang Pow bringing the left-field indie and garage, and the girls from The Lava Lounge bringing the rock’n’roll and trash, this festival is an exciting mix of the finest vintage and new sounds!

Friday 27th (8pm-4am) sees the folks from the Biff Bang Pow club spinning up the soul, psyche, 60s garage, funk and left field indie, whilst the stage will be swinging to the hip sounds of:

THE SEE SEE / WE THREE & THE DEATH RATTLE / JAMIE SAYS / KICK IN THE EYE

Saturday 28th (8pm-4am) is helmed by the Lava Lounge who’ll be twistin’ and shakin’ ‘till late to wild R&B, sloppy soul, Rock n roll, garage, punk, surf, beat & other choice tunes, with four riotous live bands:

KING SALAMI and the CUMBERLAND THREE / THE HANDSOME DICKS /

THE DESPONDENTS / THEE LUDDS /THE NO-BRAINERS

Sunday 29th (1pm-6pm) is a child-friendly affair with a record fair & retro market, fantastic fete with foolish games, beer garden BBQ & bands:

THE LONELY TOURIST / PLAYER PIANO / CHRIS OLLEY / CHARLES RANDOLPH RIVERS SLIM RYTHM REVUE

As well as the superb:

DJ WHEELIEBAG

Sunday 29th (7pm-3am) will be an adult aural blowout including:

DAVID PETER AND THE WILDE SECT / THEE VICARS / J C THOMAZ & THE MISSING SLIPPERS/ DAYLIGHT FREQUENCIES / THE VITAMIN SEES

With DJs across 2 rooms, more fun, drinking, merriment, stupidity, thrills and wild dancing! A real blow-out finale…you’ll be stirred, shaken and stimulated! NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
And remember, you’re not at work on Monday so it’s going to be a real party! Come down and LOSE YOUR
COOL! And even though Englebert will NOT be playing, It’s the hippest hottest happening Leicester has ever seen!

Advance price for each day is £5 or £10 for a weekend pass, available from We Got Tickets: http://www.wegottickets.com/f/1826
