Happy New Year!
We’re pleased to announce our first gig of 2008, and it’s a big one. The Cable Club have started up a sister show at The Prince Albert on Trafalgar Street, Brighton, and they asked us to headline! We couldn’t really say “no”, could we? Not only do you get us headlining, but also playing are 4 or 5 Magicians and Lost Cosmonaut!
As the icing on the bun, Phil Jackson of Southern Counties Radio and Sean Cread of Radio Reverb will be playing tracks by local unsigned bands downstairs to set the mood for the ensuing mayhem.
Sweet.

Summer means plenty of long, warm evenings, so why not spend them watching Left Hand Red? We’re keeping ourselves extremely busy when we’re not drinking chilled Pimms and eating fresh strawberries and cream, with visits to Camden, Eastbourne, Worthing, Tunbridge Wells (11th June — that’s tonight!), and of course Brighton.
The summer’s gigs are as follows, with more in the pipeline.
- Monday 11th June — The Forum, Tunbridge Wells
- Thursday 14th June — Pavilion Tavern, Brighton
- Friday 22nd June — Minnesota Jax, Eastbourne
- Thursday 28th June — Cable Club, Pressure Point, Brighton
- Tuesday 17th July — Funktion Rooms, Eastbourne
- Thursday 9th August — Pavilion Tavern, Brighton

- Friday 24th August — The Rest Bar, Worthing
- Wednesday 29th August — Rock Riot at the Prince Albert, Brighton
Also, you can catch Left Hand Red’s chums, Go Johnny Go, on June’s Brighton Waves. Their raw and raucous yet incredibly catchy brand of bluesey rock is the perfect accompaniment to a cold beer and a barbecued hot dog.

Left Hand Red are one of 16 bands selected to play at the Best of Brighton Bands gigs running through March and April at the Pressure Point. Each gig will be judged in a range of different ways and the band that impresses the most will win a place in the final on Sunday 15th April. Your support will be much appreciated — our heat is taking place on Sunday 8th April (Bank Holiday weekend so no work the next day for most of you!). Anyone who attended Left Hand Red’s recent appearance at the Pav Tav will know that we’re on all time best form so this show is not to be missed!
Tickets are only £1 — yes, £1 — when bought from Badlands Guitars or alternatively, we are selling some, but they’re being snapped up fast, so contact your friendly neighbourhood Left Hand Red type sharpish and they’ll gladly get hold of some for you.
Tickets are also being sold on the door for £2 but last week’s show was a sell out so better make sure you get there early! That’s not all though, tickets double up as a raffle ticket and if you attend the final, you could bag yourself a a brand new J&D Duke 30 electric guitar, rrp £329!!
Also playing on our night will be Your Army, Mono and Stealbackyourlife, so not only will you be getting four bands giving it their all, you get us all for one to two measley quid!
Pressure Point venue doors will be unlocked for the legions of LHR fans at 8PM, make sure you’re there!
