Unlabel present the 2006 Summertime Special – a summer evening show like no other...
S*M*A*S*H
+ JOEYFAT
+ THE BORED HOUSEWIVES
+ COLLIDES IN ARC
+ THE PINS
Special guests for the night are S*M*A*S*H. If you're thinking 'who?' then they were one of the greatest bands of the '90s who arrived at completely the wrong time!
They caused an uproar in the NME, Melody Maker and the like with front cover spreads, amazing gig reviews, Singles of the Week and more.
They were an adrenaline fuelled mix of anger, energy, righteous indignation, politics, DIY punk empowerment and star jumps, all choreographed to some of the finest songs you’ll ever hear.
They played hundreds of gigs to thousands of normally overlooked punters, produced fanzines, badges and fantastic cheap sloganeering T-shirts by the bucket load as well as appearing on Top of the Pops - they could have been one of the biggest bands of our time.
They were virtually self-banned by their dogged refusal to play the game; S*M*A*S*H were far too real for a nation being spoon-fed Blur, Suede and Oasis. Well now they’re back, the original line up, with a mix of classics and new songs.
They last played here in 1994 – it really was one of the best and most chaotic gigs at The Forum ever!

JOEYFAT return to The Forum for the first time this year (it could also be the last time this year as one of them is off to India for some considerable period so they thought they’d better play a home town show before he goes!).
If you've seen Joeyfat before then you know what to expect – a very tall bloke fronting some of the most extraordinary sounds a band can make, always with added extras and surprises along the way – and if you haven’t witnessed their bizarre take on post-hardcore then, well, you really should. They don’t really sound like anyone else. At all.

Making their live debut are . THE BORED HOUSEWIVES, which is the brand new project from the boys previously known as Jason and the Astronauts.
No-one knows what they will sound like but if they’re half as good as the Astronauts then they should be ace.
Listen to them doing something else here: http://www.myspace.com/jasonandtheastronauts
Opening the evening are two more local acts – solo artist. COLLIDES IN ARC and the up-and-coming band. THE PINS, who are a blend of female vocals, screams, electronics, distorted trebly guitars and odd drumming (both on Win! Win! Win! Records).
Listen to them here: http://www.myspace.com/collidesinarc and http://www.myspace.com/thepinsmusic
At: The Forum, Tunbridge Wells, Kent: http://www.twforum.co.uk
Doors are at 7:00pm with the first act on early!
S*M*A*S*H will now headline with a decent length set and the evening should finish in good time for trains etc. for all those people coming from far away.
By the way folks, last week someone flew 7,000 miles to see S*M*A*S*H play in Brighton (seriously!) so come on people, make the effort and come down for what should be a fun night. We won't be doing another big show like this until Christmas!
Hope you can make it...
John & Jason
