NO WAY '2012 Phenomenom'

Tonight sees the first exhibition of the year from the wonderful people at NO WAY. Teaming up with HUH. Magazine and the ever-present JaguarShoes Collective, this show explores the '2012 Phenomenon' or, as you and I would say, "The freakin' world is gonna die this December! AAAAAARRRGHHH! We're doomed. Kiss the dog. Run away. Where are the car keys? Pass me that hatchet. Drink the drinks. It's the end of the wooorrllddd! The Mayans said so. THE MAYANS SAID SO! With their sculptures." The show includes work from two acclaimed recent le cool cover artists; JMF Casey and Emily Evans as well as just as acclaimed artists Sophie Alda, HIN, Leo Lachlan, Phil Harris and Katy Binks. It's running for two months so you can work yourself into a right tizzy wondering how we'll all perish. / Josh Jones

Choir Of Young Believers

Anyone out there watching The Bridge on BBC4 at the moment? Good innit? Though don't tell me what's happening cos I've got a couple of issues taped. And if you are watching have you, like me, been saying to yourself 'just who is it singing that haunting bit of music over the credits?'. Well, if you could be bothered to google it you'd know it was Denmark's Choir of Young Believers. They're not in fact a choir, or even a duo, but the work of lone Copenhagenite Jannis Noya Makrigiannis, who corrals different musicians to help build his glassy, soulful, electro-folk. A massive star in Scandinavia, Jannis is finally bringing those jams and that voice to the UK for a one-off show at Stoke Newington's Birthdays. /  Rob Valid
