Barfly

Sam Duckworth, ex-member of Southend lads Silverskin, has a simple musical angle in principal: armed with an acoustic guitar and laptop, he takes acoustic tracks and places some beats over the top. Sounds simple, but when it's performed like this you can't help but be amazed.

Drawing from artists such as Gomez, Cathal Coughlan, Athlete and Grandaddy, Sam proceeds to meld them into something unique. The song 'I-Spy' describes him perfectly in its opening lyrics:

"...I don't care that this song has a melody or that the beats are not complex / I'm just trying to make you sing and not be perplexed. It doesn't mean any less."

And that is the appeal of this! It is music stripped down to its basic core and performed with a raw passion. Surely that's what music should be about, right?

Look out people....! for on the horizon is a club that intends to grab you by the balls.
Unzipped is a new night, brought to you by the people behind Panic! & Bedrock, and they intend to make you drink & dance all night.
With two floors of music, at the Barfly's latest addition to their extended family,The Fly. Expect to hear all the best in
indie, 80s pop, electro, post-punk and God knows what else.
Max & Gaz Panic will be bringing you their electro/indie mash up disco, whilst fellow residents Little Chris & Nik Nak will attempt to counter that with their own unique brand of indie, soul & good time music.
With £1 shots and cheap drinks all night, there is no better place to go for your thrills on a Saturday night.
Flying in the face of conventional wisdom.....Unzipped plans to positively encourage people to let it all out in 2008.
