Alice Gun

Alice Gun records in her North London drinks cabinet and down a Lakeland mineshaft, distilling macabre, seductive songs from guitars, glockenspiel, double bass, cello, E-bow, accordion and a lopsided upright.

Really beautiful and profoundly affecting – Tom Robinson, BBC 6

A classically-trained multi-instrumentalist, she also plays cello for blues man Mr David Viner in a long-running collaboration which has included recording with Ed Harcourt and touring with the White Stripes. She also does house music vocals for the money.

Live, Alice Gun is joined by her producer and Damon Albarn-collaborator Al Mobbs on double bass, Robbie Jarvis on drums and Sam Campari on everything else. A string section featuring members of the Monroe Transfer will also join her for the July 6th single launch.

Alice Gun in the Ambiguous blog

Today is a good day.

I have just got back the test pressings for AMBIG003 and AMBIG004 (The Mores and Roxy Rawson's next releases) Very exciting indeed. I will shortly be off to Casa Moore to finish the mixes for Alice Gun's upcoming single (AMBIG005) The Swimmer - Robbie from the Mores is a dab hand at the old mixing. And Sam from Alice Gun's band is laying up what should be some very unique artwork with Miss Rawson ce soir for her release.Read more

 And so I emerge today with a sore head, aching ears and utter delight. Roxy Rawson and Orphans & Vandals with the help of Robbie & Al (The Mores) and Sam Campari (Alice Gun) on the wheels of Steel utterly rocked the Albert Hall last night. They did us proud and by the looks of things the audience loved it too. 

I'll be posting vids on you tube and photos from Marcus Tate and James very soon. Watch this space...

I am very pleased to announce that hush has sold out. We have stretched every last sinew of ticket, pass and blag to get as many of you in as possible and it should be an absolute hum dinger of a night.

I am also delighted to let you know that we now have Sam Campari from the Alice Gun band and Robbie & Al from The Mores supporting their label mates Roxy Rawson and Orphans & Vandals on the wheels of steel. Knowing the depth of these three's vinyl collections, I can not wait.Read more

Dear friends,

Picture yourself on December the 14th 2008. It is that perfect time in December, near enough to the holiday to feel that rising surge of euphoria but not so near that you are biting people in checkout queues to get the last 'must have' toy for an expectant nephew. The perfect time in fact to come to a thoroughly splendid gig of epic proportions. Yes, Bing it On is back for the 4th year running and, extending from 3pm to midnight, will bring you not 4 but a dozen fantastic bands for your festive delectation.Read more
