Worries In The Dance Vs. Best Dressed Jakey In Town

Jack Mottram — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 14:09:27 +0000

Worries In The Dance returns! Sister Motivator and I (and I), Nurse MÃÂ¶t, will be playing records alongside The Swami and Sugar Morrice of Best Dressed Jakey In Town, at Nice ‘N’ Sleazy on Friday the 29th of February, from 9pm until 3am. Free until 1am in the bar, ÃÂ£3 from 11.30 in the downstairs club.

Motivator and myself will be playing in our usual Gingermaican style: jaunty ska, slack dancehall, mongy dub and unconscious reggae.

Join us!

Worries Pre The Op

Short notice, I know, but if you’re in Glasgow this evening do come along to Pre-Op at Macsorley’s on Jamaica Street, where Sister Motivator and I, Nurse Mot, will be playing records from 8pm to midnight, in place of the usual harrowing and complex audio flÃÂ¢neurship of DJ Hex Fraenum (AKA Ego Spastachrist, AKA Biotron, ne Guy Veale).

That’s right, in a flurry of silly noms de tune, Worries In The Dance is back!

Dunno what La Motivator plans to play, but I’ve picked out a fair bit of non-boring dubstep (it exists, I swear!) a substantial portion of house (acid and mauve, mostly), a sturdy dose of rockabilly and a piquant soupÃÂ§on of ‘challenging’ Wire-reader toss to go along with our standard Gingermaican blend of mongy dub, unconscious reggae and half-witted dancehall.

See you there?

It’s time for another “Worries In The Dance”

It’s on this Friday, the 9th, at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow. 9pm—late. Free in.

The music will be, as always, Gingermaican.

Rasta Far? Aye.

Sister Motivator and Nurse MÃÂ¶t - that’s me - are starting a new thing at the Centre for Contemporary Arts on Friday 3rd of February, from 9pm to 1am: Worries In The Dance.

Strictly Gingermaican sounds, from unconscious reggae to rough ska via wobbly dub, but most of all nasty slack dancehall from the 1980s, 1990s and today. (If you’ve heard the Sister’s sets at Optimo Hogmanay celebrations in the past, or my efforts at Stet, you’ll know what to expect.)

See you there?

Tonight At Stet: Lady Sovereign, Magic Daddy, This Driver, Maggie Jones, Sister Motivator And Me

The title says it all, really. The tiny but mighty grime heroine Lady Sovereign is returning to Stet for a live performance, supported by squiggle-click laptopist Magic Daddy, plus house band This Driver (they do pretty singing and filthy music).

Also, there are disc jockeys: Sister Motivator and I (Nurse Möt) will be previewing our Worries In The Dance ska, dancehall and dub thing in the back room of the top secret venue¹, while Maggie Jones and I (Möt) will be doing bleak grime, nasty dubstep and elderly rave in the main room.

The evening begins at 9pm sharp, and ends at 2am, giving Glaswegians plenty of time to catch the last bus home. There are a limited number of tickets available on the door, at a price I can’t remember, but that is sure to be very reasonable.

One last thing - this is the last Stet in its current incarnation, or, in the multilingual Stet house style, La Finale.

1. It’s the Counting House, West Nicholson Street, Edinburgh, and the password to gain entry is Ch-ching. It’s near the Peartree, and above the Blind Poet, apparently. Don’t tell anyone. I mean, tell everyone.

Update: Blimey! A splendid night, with Sov on fine form and debuting some great new songs (especially Adidas Hoodie, and one which I think is called Public Announcement, a half grime, half 1976 punk thing). Proceedings were marred only slightly by The Counting House turning out to be run by total asshats, who closed us down half an hour early due to some minor illegal activities by patrons, and then attempted to charge us £500 for a damaged hand-dryer despite making an absolute fortune on the bar. Boo hiss.
