GENIN is proud to present THE NEW BEAT No1 at The Cross Kings this coming Friday 5th February 2010. The first GENIN night of the year will be showcasing an eclectic bill of the weird and wonderful, an alternative to the alternative, a shot across the bows of ‘rock’ music as we know and have become comfortable with. The night will feature performances from Solar Flares, Arficeden, Tessellators and Djevara.
In support of the humanitarian relief work being done in the highly topical case of HAITI, but also in the out-of-fashion yet equally disastrous tragedy continuing in Darfur, GENIN RECORDS are pledging 25% of all sales from records, and 100% of profits on T-shirts, from all online orders made within the first week of February 2010.
CDs include new releases from The Display Team, Thumpermonkey Lives! and Djevara, as well as back catalogue goldies from Elephant vs Leopard, Pigshackle, The Super Nashwan Kids, Claypigeon and more. Fill your boots.
Orders can be made directly online from www.genin.co.uk
Happy New Year. 2010 has started with a flurry of activity and excitement in London’s burgeoning alternative DIY underground, with a number of nights and venues putting on some shows well worth checking out. Without further ado, here’s a very quick (and not necessarily comprehensive) round-up of some awesome stuff happening.
RIP THIS JOINT! - Set in the basement of The Constitution in Camden, this night plays host to some of the most intimate, most eclectic and startlingly high quality DIY nights in town for the bargain price of £2. Always worth going.
END OF RADIO - Set up by a couple of members of One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong and Orders Of The British Empire, the line-ups are not always consisting of bands with ridiculously long names - expect every type of progressive or post-rock outfit at their deliciously cosy, vibey nights at The Jester (downstairs @ The Cross Kings, 126 York Way).
ROTTEN LUCK - Putting on free shows at Deptford’s place of choice - The Bird’s Nest as well as The Grosvenor, these shows are always passionate and visceral affairs. South London fights back 
LI GRAND ZOMBI - New nights just started at the Unicorn and Scar Studios in Camden
… and many more. It is recommended to check out myspace.com/londontransmission which always has listings of a plethora of fantastic live music
Our last show/party of the year at our wonderful warehouse, The Low Fidelity Disconnect. Expect the usual eye-and-mouth-watering spread of music, arts and creative people. This time round we have sets from Djevara, Let Our Enemies Beware and Thumpermonkey Lives!

DJEVARA NEW RECORD:
Djevara are pleased to announce the imminent release of “The Rising Tide (Part 1) : Corsa Al Ribasso” officially on Mon 14th Dec 2009 (though will be available at the gig). In tune with the changing dynamics of the band line-up as well as the freer, more creative possibilities offered by the digital age, Djevara have decided to release their newest album in two parts - this is the first!
The CD launch will be on Friday 4th December and will also be my birthday party bash! It’ll be held downstairs at The Cross Kings in King’s Cross in London (126 York Way). We’ll also have live sets from the fantastic Caretaker (Rock Sound single-of-the-month), Gin Panic and The andy k Show - ensuring it’s going to be an absolutely amazing night - come join us! 
:D
*NOTE: Free entry to the show with all pre-orders!
Available to pre-order NOW from www.genin.co.uk or www.djevara.co.uk
Just a reminder about our excellent event at 333 Basement this Thursday! A rare live performance from one of the most talented bands I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing - PIGSHACKLE, plus (hopefully) the tentative debut of Cochon D’Inde (who you may find strangely familiar…), and exciting enigmatic sets expected from Wild Dogs Of Winter and In Case Of Moon Disaster. Great times ahead!
Remember: bring your old tickets for discount entry, and all members of Genin-related or bands that have performed at GENIN LIVES! before get in for £2.

Djevara/Genin have invited over their German friends Cut That City! for a couple of special shows in London (UK). The first was on Weds 4 November at The Jester with One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong and Tessellator, and the next show will be a special party at The Low Fidelity Disconnect with sets from Silent Front, Bleak and Pig With The Face Of A Boy, spoken word, plus the usual arts and magic…
The 5th part of the first GENIN LIVES! series, and yet again we have a magnificent feast for you featuring music and art…
THREE COLOURS - the debut show!!!
MOULT - Fantastic, dreamy, almost ambient electronic rock
EVENFLOWERSKILL - hardcore cross-fertilized with jazz with more than a dash of lateral thinking…
GLOCKENSPIEL - huge soundscapes of majestic beauty
