Branchage at Sexbeat - part of Stag & Dagger

As part of the astoundingly good line up at this year's multi-venue extravaganza Stag & Dagger, Branchage is joining forces with Sexbeat (well if you can't sexbeat 'em, join 'em eh?) to add film and visuals to five hot live bands.  The chosen filmmakers all have connections with Branchage (like they've had work screened at the festival, or they've had a hand in running it at some stage... that kinda thing).

If you're not familiar with Stag & Dagger, it's a 'one-ticket-gives-access-to-all' annual festival taking place in London on Friday 21st May.  Your ticket gives you access to 20 official venues around East London where you'll find over 100 of the best new live music acts, djs, art shows and film screenings.  The full line-up's amazing... but don't go to any of that stuff, come to Cafe 1001 off Brick Lane for Branchage's bit.  It'll blow your socks off, quite literally.*

* not literally.


To entice you to come down to see Sexbeat (and Branchage) at Cafe 1001, here's the tantalizing list of live bands and filmmakers who will be providing your aural and visual pleasure...

Pulled Apart By Horses - filmmaker Carla MacKinnon

Banjo or Freakout - filmmakers Helena & Jake Astbury

Tweakbird - filmmakers Gemma Atkinson & Fred Grace

Friendship - filmmaker Kate Jessop

Wax Fang - filmmaker Bella Fenning

Quite simply, it's going to be aces.  There's biogs of each of the filmmakers on the facebook event page if you'd like to know more.

Stag & Dagger tickets are available from www.seetickets.com here - and remember, one ticket gets you into all the venues that night.  Here's a tip: buy your ticket online in advance, because it's cheaper than buying on the door.
