\\ More Information
It’s another action-packed night at 93 Feet East down on Brick Lane. Canada's finest THINK ABOUT LIFE are in town and this is one not to be missed. There’s a few words about all the bands below, but first of all here’s a bit of info to help you out.
93 Feet East is at 100 Brick Lane, opposite The Vibe Bar (E1 6QL). You can usually access the “Pink” bar for free but you will need to come back outside to the box office in order to purchase tickets for the gig room. 93FE has a longstanding reputation for being purveyors of quality eclectic music and you can generally assume there will be a good billing to look forward to. However, like most venues down there, it has a strict 11pm curfew and an 18+ age policy. Parking is impossible on Brick Lane but is free after 5.30pm on most of the back-streets. If you’re coming by tube, head for Liverpool St or Old Street, and it’s walking distance away. It’s worth getting tickets in advance if you can to save you a quid or two, but either way make sure the gigs in your diary. It’s a great venue and a night not to be missed.
THINK ABOUT LIFE [link]
Think About Life have been causing panic on Montreal dance floors since just a little before they were personally invited by Wolf Parade (Sub Pop) to be their support act during last year’s North American autumn tour. Montreal’s best-kept secret is now coming out… on record.
“Think About Life builds a bridge from swiriling chaos to kindly pop, but the bridge is a shaky beast that tends to collapse into the sea and capsize any onlooking vessel. Shows can meltdown to oblivion or soar to ecstacy or implode after one song with police intervention. The sounds range from manic to troubled to tender to silly, exploding every emotion at once into a thousand pieces at the bottom of a canyon. TAL reassembles this raw material into a worldview rooted in thunder-storms, roller-coasters, clowns, sea-beasts, romance, fireworks, massive sphinxes, basketball championships, chivalric knighthoods, snowmen, children, videos, hamlets, sunglasses, and YOU.”
Think About Life is the lovechild of Graham Van Pelt, a multi-instrumentalist, recording studio proprietor and co-director of Montreal’s adored all-ages alternative space, the Friendship Cove. The band’s primary vocal organ is Martin Cesar, the genius of the Donkey Heart quartet that squinty, pimply West Montreal kids swear by as “the little band that could…” Matt Shane is the name of the band’s drum machine.

The charismatic Clement Marfo is quickly proving to be one of the hottest new talents to hit the British scene. Clement, has established himself as a truly experimental artist who is unique in his style of lyrical delivery.
Born to Ghanaian parents and raised in South London, Clement is noted as a passionate recording artist whose conscious song writing skills reflect a mature outlook on reality, blending well with his evident sense of humour and positive, uplifting personality.
Clement makes choices of creativeness and innovative actions, encouraging him to be confident in his own original style. Clement is dedicated in voicing his opinion on worldwide issues, further more he has become a voice for many adolescents who experience or share the same views on various matters. ‘Aspire not to have more but to be more’ (Archbishop Romero), these wise words were of great inspiration to Clement and his aim in life to be more, through endurance and fortitude.
Clement’s dynamic performing qualities as well as his unique style clearly stems from his wide range of musical influences, which span from both the US and UK. They range from the likes of Slick Rick, Wyclef Jean, Tina Turner, JAY Z, Daft Punk, and Kanye West to home grown talent such as Annie Lennox, Phil Collins, Craig David, Ms’ Dynamite, Ashley Walters, and Dizzee Rascal. As a result of his prominent creativity, Marfo’s specialities lie in his song writing ability.
