Tonight Amy Winehouse will be hosting her own clubnight 'Snakehips at The Monarch' on Chalk Farm Road. On Saturday night we spotted her chatting to the amazing DJ Bioux in the small room at Proud and now it seems the pair will be going head to head for a DJ battle playing 50s and 60s. Judging by what he was playing on Saturday we think this would be brilliant even without Amy. We dread to......

Canadian pop band Dragonette produced one of our favourite albums of 2007 before all went quiet with the band. Now they're back performing round the UK and this Saturday night hit up the ever-so-trendy Proud Galleries in Camden. We've found it dreadfully hard to get into Proud in the past; hell even Cameron Diaz was apparently turned away one night due to them being at capacity by 9pm, but once you're inside it's a......

If you're not planning on spending tonight in one end of Camden then there's a pretty good argument to spend it in the other. Hangout of the cool, The Proud Galleries, reopened this week and they'll be partying their first Saturday night in new premises tonight. The new location is the old Horse Hospital, and is twice the size of the original club with 3 gallery spaces including 8 private booths and a 450......

What's the skinny? Remi Nicole is the latest London based singer-songwriter to get a buzz going about her. Signed to Island Records late last year, Remi is 23 and a veritable London melting pot of Austrian, English, Trinidadian and Jewish backgrounds. But she's a North London girl through and through having lived in Holloway, Islington, Highgate, Tufnell Park and Highbury. She might be young, female and sassy, but Remi Nicole isn't just the "new......

We like Proud Galleries. They put on wonderful free exhibitions of great rock photography. We like War Child too. Not only do they release great albums, put on their own wonderful free exhibitions, but they're also a damn fine charity. So when we heard about War Child's Your Child show at Proud Camden, then we thought we'd take a mosy on down. Just so we could honestly say to you that we think you......

Anyone with even a hint of taste and decency will know that the only time to drink Carling is after you've been atomised by a particularly nasty nuclear power station meltdown. And yet still their indominatable quest to tie up every concert venue in the country continues, as does their role as foremost sponsors of UK indie-guitar rock. As they have done for the past couple of years, they're endeavouring to kick off the......

If you love the legend they call Bob, then there's a wealth of goodies coming your way. You have 5 nights at Brixton in November. You have Uncut's 100th Anniversary issue with it's Highway 61 Revisited Revisted cd, his seminal album re-recorded by Uncut favourites such as The Drive By Truckers, Paul Westerberg and Richmond Fontaine (American Music Club's mournful psychadelic cover of Queen Jane Approximately and Dave Alvin's slow spoken soulful blues take......

This weekend see the start of another 'popular culture' exhibition at the Proud Gallery in Camden (the other one is on the Strand). Sometimes the Proud's exhibition schedule can maybe look a little 'fluffy' against some of the capital's more heavyweight contenders. But popular culture is what the Proud galleries do best, and their quality control is pretty good too. So if you can get over the fact that they're actually called the 'Sony......
