Presenting Lucy the Poodle's 2nd Annual British Invasion Party
featuring Blackheart Records' Girl in a Coma! Celebrating the first
and second wave of UK Sound PLUS British treats, tributes, history and
more! Bring your Bloody Valentine!
Lucy the Poodle Productions and Transmission Entertainment
have teamed up once again to bring you the 2nd Annual British Invasion
Party on Saturday February, 13th at Red 7 starting at 9pm. Back by popular demand, this English-themed/pseudo-Valentine's Day shindig will
pay tribute to the great British acts that shaped our history, music, society,
and culture-- from early breakthrough acts such as The Beatles, The
Rolling Stones and The Kinks to 2nd wave acts of the 70's and 80's like
The Smiths, The Slits, Depeche Mode, and The Sex Pistols.
Topping
off the night will be all female garage-rock/punk trio from San Antonio,
Girl in a Coma. As the new face of Joan Jett's Blackheart Records,
GIAC (named for the 1980's Smiths hit, Girlfriend in a Coma)
have gained national and international acclaim touring with the likes
of Morrissey, The Toadies, and Tegan and Sara, among others. The
band's powerful live set is intensely polished with a grungy
punk-rock edge and singer Nina Diaz' unique and distinguishable voice
has been compared to Patsy Cline, Bjork and Morrissey himself. If
you've been wanting to see this band for a while, wait no longer as
this will be their last stop in Austin before they head back to the
road with indie art-rockers Xiu Xiu.
In addition to a full
lineup of Brit-influenced talent (some of the bands will be treating
us with special tributes to their favorite UK based acts) there will be
British treats, sweets, visuals, history and more. Have your photo
taken at our Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Photo booth! Wear an
outlandish British-themed costume! Bring your Bloody Valentine -- or
find one here if you don't have one!
