Welcome to Southampton's filthy little secret... Every Tuesday from the 7th Feb, The Dungeon becomes DUBGEON, the underground rave from GONNABESICK Parties. We've been running monthly for the past year but it's time to crank it up!

In DUBGEON we stick loosely to a few dubby genres, but generally play a mash up of sick underground bouncy and filthy music to the most up-for-a-party crowd in town. If you haven't been before, come down and see what the fuss is all about!

Music from GONNABESICK resident DJ's and regular special guests... Keep an eye on the facebook page for full details.

A Founding member of one of HIP HOP's most talked about groups of the 90's. Fatlip will be taking to the decks of Orange Rooms with Hip Hop Vinyl and MC Vocals. You can Expect Southampton to witness one of Hip Hops finests hosts!

We will be hosting an alternative Valentines Evening, adult cabaret with Lucina Lashes and set 2 course meal. This fantastic singer/performer is back by popular demand and not to be missed.
The show will be risque and not for the easily offended.

Grecoro Man the ultimate wrestling warrior looks up at an enormous towering Tyrannosaurus Rex. In the last 2 years he has deftly matched David E Sugar’s sonic boom, gracefully danced around the ring with the lady-slaying Grovesnor, triumphantly spun the mighty Buraka Som Sistema above his head… and he has just got the last of Drums of Death’s facepaint off his leotard after one long, sweaty headlock that delighted crowds around the globe for the last 6 months, from Melbourne to Minehead.

But this next guy looks really big...

Quite how they found themselves in this situation is a mystery. Good young lads who spent most of their times in museums were never supposed to end up belting out bass in the wrestling rings of the Gods… or at least that’s what their parents thought. Unfortunately for them they had never anticipated the lure of Jump-up Jungle, and they were blissfully unaware of what went on in the countryside after lights-out. In something resembling a certain episode of Inspector Morse, the boys spent much of their youths escaping into the Oxfordshire fields and praying at the alter of rave. But were back in time for breakfast.

With their heads buried deep into their Natural History books by day but their hands raised high in trigger-fingers by night, concepts collided in their heads, dreams of dinosaurs rampaging the planet roaring pre-historic basslines and thumping out neanderthal beats with their tails. Cavewomen in lycra, men beating drums and everyone dancing naked around fire… the usual. And so Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs retired to the cave, taking on the mammoth task of rewiring the DNA of mid-90s culture to make a record that will leave other DJ fossils to shame, submitting New Kids On The Block to the low frequency seismic tremors of Zinc and rightly booting R Kelly into Remarc’s closet.

It wasn’t long before the Greco-Roman collective of DJs, artists & musicians invited them to play in the amphitheatre of one of their infamous Bachinalian orgies: East London’s Mount Olympus. Left reeling by their sonic onslaught, they asked them to pen their first EP – a 2- step ode to south coast teenage pregnancy “Bournemouth”, the glittering fidgety pop of “Moon Hits The Mirrorball” and “Sickly Child”, a scuzzy electro workout reminiscent of fellow monster Syclops. Recent months have also seen remixes for Lee Mortimer, Sugababes, The Joy Formidable and Micachu.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED) have raised their beastly heads from the marshlands of Oxford and are on the rampage. Are you going to stand in their way, or are you going to put your hands in the air and start screaming?

Post-punk indie rock band Violet Bones ’ 2011 was full of great moments. Their constant touring has brought them support slots for Ash and New York Dolls, a sold out performance at The Great Escape, sessions with BBC Introducing and a visit to BBC Master Class, where new bands meet industry professional for advice and workshops.

They start the year with a brand new video for the energetic single ‘Chemicals’, which is the first release of their debut album ‘Decline of Vaudeville’.

Exciting times are ahead as Violet Bones will be hitting the road on the 21st of February continuing into mid March. The band will be in Southampton at the Joiners on February 22nd.
