Art Brut to play two nights at Bull & Gate

With the Bull & Gate in Kentish Town going up for sale, Art Brut have announced a two-night residency there to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the venue's chief promoter, Club Fandango.

On 7 December, the band will be supported by No Cars and The Brute Chorus, with Keith TOTP and his Minor UK Indie Celebrity Allstar Backing Band providing support the following night.

Art Brut's Barnaby Fudge issued the following statement:

"It has come to my attention that some in the intersphere consider Art Brut to be less than politically minded. They are considered a party band, letting the events of the day wash over them like a drunk asleep in a gutter.

Well, I am here to tell you that our merry band are not so oblivious! The voice of today's youth has not gone unheard!

We refuse to sit idly by and watch Club Fandango celebrate a birthday without a residency-size truckload of Art Brut fans causing chaos, booze fuelled funstruction. The madness has gone on too long!"
