Street Art Awards Party and Charity Auction 2008
Urban art business, Auction Saboteur, has organised the awards that will celebrate the best urban and street art offerings from 2008. All money raised will go to the Single Homeless Charity.
The Awards Ceremony
The night will see Rough Trade East turned into an urban art bazaar with attractions including: charity art tombola, pin the devil tail on the banker, hook-a-duck-outa-an-oil-slick, a magician, DJ’s and lots of art related prizes.
Each attendee will be given a ballot paper on entry and asked to vote for their favourite artist from the shortlist. The winners will receive a specially designed sculpture that will also be up for grabs on the night.
The charity art tombola will give people the chance to win anything from a special, one off, custom piece of art, on either a reclaimed record cover or vinyl record, to a jar of jam or bar of soap.
Tombola tickets will be £5 each – a bargain if you win a Matt Small original (his work usually sells in the region of £5K - £6K). If you win the soap at least you’ve contributed to a good cause – your conscience will be clean.
Artists contributing an original piece includeAsbestos . Beejoir . Ben Allen . Ben Slow . Brian Jones . Bortusk Leer . Case . Charming Baker . Chinamike . Crie . Cyclops . Dale Grimshaw . Damon Ginandes . Data . David Walker . Dell . Dirquo . Dr.D . Gaia . Gawd . Goldie . Guy Denning . Herakut . Holly Thoburn . Hush . Idiom . James Baker . Know Hope . Labrona . Matt Small . Mestizo .

Kid Rock live at the Hammersmith Apollo, London
Enjoy!
Kid Rock has announced that he will be returning to the UK this November to perform a one off show at London's Hammersmith Apollo.
Kid Rock has sold over 25 million albums since the release of his debut album Grits Sandwiches For Breakfast in 1990 and he recently shot to number 1 in the charts with ‘All Summer Long'.
Whatever you want to call him - Rock & Roll Jesus, the Detroit Cowboy, American Badass, the Early Morning Stoned Pimp, or just plain Bobby, as he's known to his friends and family, Kid Rock always guarantees an exceptional show, making this one-off UK performance one not to be missed.
In the spirit of working-class rockers from the great state of Michigan --- Grand Funk Railroad, Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Mitch Ryder --- Rock doesn't believe music should be complicated. His attitude is live and let live --- a refreshing if somewhat dumbfounding stance from a self-professed red-neck who has been known to wave guns around.

Independant Massachusettian rockers Four Year Strong are playing a secret gig in London
Four Year Strong is a five-piece American Pop Punk / Hardcore punk band from Worcester, Massachusetts. 3/5 of the band were in the original lineup that dates back to 2001. Dan, Alan and Jake all attended Doherty Memorial High School in Worcester and met through mutual friends. After the departure of the original bassist some 2 or 3 years after formation, they met Joe and asked him to fill the gap. Their early work never included any keyboards or synthesizers, but after a while they began to incorporate it into their music. The band cycled through many keyboardists, but recruited their current keyboardist Josh Lyford in late 2006. Over the past years, the band has done multiple national tours, sharing the stage with such bands as The Starting Line, Hellogoodbye, From First to Last, Every Time I Die, Hidden in Plain View, All Time Low,New Found Glory, Bayside and Steel Train. The band toured Australia in June 2008 with Rex Banner.
Four Year Strong Bada Bing! Wit’ A Pipe! Music Video
The band's sound can be described as a blend of Pop punk, Hardcore, and powerpop. The band simply developed their sound off the idea of playing 'exactly what they want to hear' or music that they would listen to, but no one else was playing at the time.[3] The band has cited their influences as being Lifetime, Saves the Day, Gorilla Biscuits, and New Found Glory to name a few. Though the band would primarily start out as a post-hardcore and emo outfit, the release of their demo in 2004 would mark a shift from post-hardcore to more synthesizer-heavy tracks, where the band would began to embrace the styles of powerpop and general punk rock. Prior to the release of Rise or Die Trying the band would also incorporate more facets of modern hardcore, such as double bass drums, breakdowns, and screaming vocals with the addition of synthesizers. Since a number of the band's songs are composed of hardcore breakdowns, soaring choruses, and upbeat tempos, many fans have mistakenly dubbed their musical style as 'Happy Hardcore,' though in reality this refers to a type of dance music popular in the mid-90's.
