Mclusky have announced they will play London's legendary Buffalo Bar on 12th December just before it's closure. The Buffalo Bar is yet another venue about to drop off the radar so the band have made it clear that this show is all about supporting the staff and institution that is The Buffalo as a thanks for the exposure it granted them over the years.
Falco of the mighty Mclusky says...
"The buffalo bar in Highbury is one of my favourite places in London and it was with great sadness that i received the news of its imminent closure. As such, we'll play a set of Mclusky songs on the evening of Friday, December 12th for two reasons - firstly, to raise money for the bar staff who will be without jobs after new years eve, and secondly as a thank you to the bar manager, Michael, who has been a huge supporter over the years.
The songs will be performed by myself (Falco) and Jack from Mclusky/Future of the Left with Julia (also of future of the left) on bass and Damien from the excellent St Pierre Snake Invasion singing Jon Chapple's parts and cavorting around the crowd like he was conducting an aggressive survey. Support will be from USA Nails, whose debut album came out this year. They are brilliant. Doors will be relatively early, and we expect to be all wrapped up by 10.30pm. Thanks for your time - hopefully we can all have some fun and contribute to this good cause. Tickets are 15 pounds with no booking fee. Apologies for the limited capacity but physics is physics. Theoretically.
PS. In the event of the Buffalo Bar obtaining a significant stay of execution all profits from the show will be donated to the British Heart Foundation.
So there we have it, right from the horse's mouth. If you're after a ticket for this one you better move quickly!
