So, it was the last ever edition of Erol Alkan's Trash club in London last night. I guess we really should have told you that in advance of the event itself. Apologies. Still, I'm sure the Trash faithful were their in abundance. In fact, they were probably rife. Anyway, with one of the capital's finest nights having bowed out, there's a gap in the London club goers diary for something new. And while I hear the people behind Trash are planning to fill that gap with a new venture, until we get the lowdown on that, perhaps fans of indie electro crossover nonsense could try this new night that launches at the London Scala this Saturday (13 Jan).
Called Chalk, there'll be live bits and DJ bits, and the launch line up is looking rather good with no less that Mystery Jets (Live), Hot Chip, Nadia Ksaiba, Mathew !Wowow!, The Lovely Jonjo, Jack Penate (Live), Cajun Dance Party (Live), The Bishops (Live), White Heat DJs, Faris Rotter, The Young Turks and The Whore Moans on the bill. Phew. More details at http://www.chalkclub.co.uk. This night will be a weekly operation, with Rumble Strips, Shitdisco and Whitey booked in for future weeks.
