THE LIBERTINES GARY POWELL talks about his new clubnight THE 25th HOUR



What you can clubbers expect from your clubnight?
I ain't gonna say 'expect the un-expected' cause that is corny as you like - but there will be lots of great music on and of the decks so willbe a memorable nite one way of the other. you will also more than likely get to see me get very drunk - but hey if you ain't seent that before you obviously do not go out enough...
What is your earliest musical memory? My earliest musical memory would be my moms LP of south pacific. you gotta love rogers and hammerstein.
What was your first clubbing experience? That would be at 5 yrs of age with dennis davies, and roy ayres in a club in new york. didn't get there till about 03.00am and didn't leave till about 04.30.
What was your first ever gig you went to?
Think that coulda been miles davies or roy ayres but was more than likely my dad and his buddies jamming in a garage whilst drinking home made hooch.
What was the last gig you went to? primal scream a few weeks ago and the pogues a few hours into the future...
Who would be in your fantasy band?
jack white lead guitar and vocals alison mosshart lead and backing vocals george duke bass guitar and synths chic corea, keys and percussion dave grohl, drums coffee and anarchy (and whatever else he wants to do...) the berlin philharmonic and last and least me! writing, arranging and conducting!
If you could go back in time what musical figure would you like to meet leonard bernstein and marvin gaye
What are your top five tracks of all time? in no order of preference:
massive attack - angel
teri thornton - where was i
j dilla - the safety dance
smoke city - giulietta
marvin gaye and tammi terrell - your all i need to get by
Which new artists are making the right noises out there? again in no specific order of preference:
everything everything
magnetic man
katy b
law abiding citizens
jeye t
the baddies
antlered man
dashikter
lizzie nightingale.
man don't get me started!!!
Why should people come to your clubnight?
Well lets face it - you don't have to - but if folks do come they can be guaranteed music, fun, and frolics. i ain't gonna make promises that i can't keep like stripping butt naked if everybody comes (but you never know...)
