[DJing/Setlist] The Memepunks, Rattlesnake of Angel, Sat 28th September 2013
Supporting The Memepunks again, alongside frequent co-defendant collaborator Andy Ravensable. Two sets from The Memepunks this time, playing their usual combination of covers and live mashups on an assortment of unexpected instruments (and kazoos). Andy and I alternated the interval sets, with Andy covering the first, from The Memepunks opening set and Jessie Pie And The Thorn (playing 'ribald country-bluesish Americana'). I then bridged the gap between them and Laurence Owen ('darkly comedic singer-storyteller'), then Andy took up the baton again between him and The Memepunks final set.
And at this point things got a little bizarre. During the gig portion of the evening, there had been a door charge, and we'd been aiming our music selections at the audience for the bands, with high proportion of covers, mashups and so on. Once the bands finished, we found ourselves DJing for three hours to a strange combination of the residual audience from the gig (those who'd not gone home or to Slimelight) and those Rattlesnake Of Angel¹ punters who ventured through the back doors - a strange Upper Street Islington crowd. We got out honour intact, but it did require a certain amount of quick flipping through music collections - and a few more mashups than I'd usually put into a normal set.
Anyhow, without further ado, here's what I played ...
