Following a massive series of unmissable parties at Bijou DJ BARRY BREAKS & VJ ULTRA host another big night of madness back at the scene of the awesome HAIRY ANIMAL DISKO PARTY, and the mighty GRINGO SKA gig at BIJOU.. with a chunky night of BIG GHETTO FUNK BEATS and a HYPED VISUAL SHOW in room 1.
The boys are joined on the night by local legends (fromepeople.com local legend winners 2011) THE WHEEL OF FOUR TUNES who'll be taking over room 2, hosted by DJ SPIN & MC TIPPERCOOL.. for anyone out there who hasn't had the pleasure of seeing these guys before, we'll leave it up to the them to describe what they do:
The Wheel decides your musical fate. Where will it land? Dubstep - Love songs? House - Metal? Ska - 60s? Motown - Drum & Bass? A Spandex clad tag team dance like maniacs to random party music. This show wins hearts, blows minds, & leaves people dazed, bewildered, yet extremely content.
Plus we're also showcasing further Special Guest DJ's on the night who'll be setting the scene with a funked up set of BOOTY SHAKERS, and BANGING BEATS..
We reckon it's going to be another proper smasher!
UltraBreaks @ Club Bijou Saturday 30th July 20:00 till 02:00 AM Bar closes at 1:00 £5 on the door :)
Continuing the solid start to 2011 we're back with our BIGGEST jam yet, and a night that promises to be packed with mad twists-and-turns at what is fast becoming known as the HEAVIEST social night out in Frome, there's a LOT to get through here so i'll crack on..
Tonights very special guests are the magnificent HAIRY PARENTS. This LEGENDARY WEST-COUNTRY HIP HOP collective have consistantly been masters of their craft for years, ( local b-boys of advancing years may recognise this crew from previous incarnations as TRANSCRIPT CARRIERS, PARLOUR TALK, UNDIVIDED ATTENTION and ALL CREATURES) with an top drawer back catalogue including the highly acclaimed PARLOUR TALK album 'Padlocked Tonic' which is considered by many in the industry to be one of the BEST UK HIP HOP ALBUMS EVER.. Sadly this is both a reunion and the LAST TIME THEY PLAY TOGETHER as a unit, for reasons best explained in their own words "Failed Severn Valley Enterprise faces the harsh realities of commerce" The whole band are coming to town, so it's a huge privilege to welcome them back to Frome ...
If that wasn't enough, we're also honoured to present Fromes original minimalist post punk band ANIMALS AND MEN, who recorded some classic singles in the early eighties that were distributed by Rough Trade, and picked up positive reviews in NME. With a heavy and sparse garage soundscape not too dissimilar to an early Velvet Underground (in my humble opinion!) or in the bands own words "Somerset post punk pioneers and d-i-y - from the early 80s and now " A&M are hailed as an influence on many of todays post punk bands, they're now back with new material and are on their final UK stop before flying out to San Francisco to play a series of stateside gigs ... it promises to be explosive!
Band Members
Guitar: Ralph Mitchard Vox: Susan Wells Drums: Geoff Norcott Bass: Paul Boswell
Our triple-point of madness concludes in Room 2 where the CAUSTIC DISKO DJ muties CLINT PARSNIP, MIKAEL TRIFLE, TUPPENY WARLOK and NEEDY DAFT KLUMP will be dumfounding the finest dancers in town with their klonked out brand of crate digging obscurities, old skool funk, charity shop bargains and left field psych oddities, plus the added attraction of our 'King of the telly's' VAUGHN JUBLEES and his bonkers visuals set-up, we reckon it's the perfect sideshow distraction.
This line up 's a serious coup for the town so miss this and it's gone people, time to represent!
We're expecting this Jam to be packed out (and rightly so!) so get on down there early to make sure you get in, and save a few bob.
Powered as ever by the VINYL ALLIANCE SOUND SYSTEM

UltraBreaks Productions is a new and exciting project by Frome-based artists VJ Ultra and DJ Barry Breaks. Our mission is to create unique sound and visual solutions to inspire, and showcase our mutual interests in art, music and developmentalism.
The first project off the assembly line is a short art film based on an abandoned location in Wiltshire called HMS Royal Arthur. Formally a Naval Training School decomissioned in 1993, it now serves as a canvas to a generation of graffiti artists. In particular, we focus on the incredible talents of our graffiti artist friends 'Souls Of Fire' in order of appearance Warp http://boswellart.blogspot.com/ 3rdeye http://3rdeyesite.co.uk/ Vermin http://vermingraffiti.blogspot.com/ Pen http://www.myspace.com/pensof/ Warning: This film isn't for the faint hearted, as it's a rollercoaster ride of cut-up graffiti, dereliction and Soviet jazz breakbeats! The Music track is 'Labyrinth' by Melodiya Ensemble (Melodiya 1970
