» Music: British Sea Power

Powering up for a new monthly residency!


Originally from the wilds of Cumbria, brothers Yan and Hamilton, along with Wood and Noble, eventually migrated to Brighton where they established themselves via the infamous Club Sea Power residency and catching the attention of Rough Trade who they are still signed to.

BSP has always been an inventive and hard-working band, working within the constraints of an essentially rigid indie-rock template. But by adding in touches such as Cumbrian wrestling, ‘30s fashion shows, lots of stage foliage, a penchant for stage diving, grid references, and a general love for all things countryside and pre-war, BSP has gradually built up a tremendously loyal fanbase, helped by the fact they can write a good tune or two.

BSP has now turned full circle by re-booting the idea of a monthly residency, this time called Krankenhaus, and which will feature BSP along with hand-picked guests each month.

Friday 6 January, The Haunt, 7.30pm–3am, £12.50

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

We love nothing better than browsing and buying arts and crafts, and there is so much going on throughout May that we’ve made it easier by bringing the Artists Open Houses to you! We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
