Once again, we’re going to drink, dance and celebrate Brixton’s favourite son, the magnificent David Bowie, with a special night at the Brixton Dogstar on Sat 6th Jan, with all profits going to local music charities.
On the tragic news of Bowie’s death in January 2016, we were the first venue in Britain to announce a free tribute night, and we toasted the great man’s talent with with a night of Bowie music to a jam-packed house.
We followed up with another sold out party the following year, raising £600 for local charities, and this year we’re moving to larger premises at the Dogstar to put on an even bigger party with LOUDER Bowie!
We’ll be playing his hits, album tracks, obscurities and more, and mixing in tracks from some of his musical influences and the artists he inspired (e.g. Velvet Underground, Mott The Hoople, Chic, Kraftwerk etc).
There will also be videos and photos of the great man projected on to the walls – plus Bowie bunting! – and we’ll have a facepainter on hand to apply some Bowie-style makeup – we invite Bowie fans to dress up in the Bowie look of their choice, with free shots dished out to the best efforts!
All profits from the show will be going to two Brixton youth music charities; Raw Material and School Ground Sounds.
