Line-ups

Past Acts Include...

Buttoned Down Liveshow Act		Review
	Subliminal Girls with with Chik Budo & Gaggle	We were going to have Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee headline this one but he was stuck in Mexico so it was not to be. The more than able trio of hot acts kept the crowd dancing though...
	Shlomo with with OK Tokyo & Capitol K Photo Gallery	Shlomo put on a great Glastonbury warm up show at the now demolished Astoria 2 with pretty Reading boys OK Tokyo brought the rock.
	Partyshank with The Slips, Niyi & Levelload Photo Gallery	Probably the best line up yet, Partyshank kept the crowds hands well in the air with this liveshow finale at the 333 Club.
	Get Shakes with Chik Budo, 586 & Cobra Dukes Photo Gallery	Get Shakes did a great late set with songs from their forthcoming album, with the brilliant Chik Budo lending quirky support.
	Trash Fashion with Eskimo Disco, The Electric Riot & Eugene Machine Photo Gallery	Nu rave pranksters headline, with support from chart bothering Eskimo Disco, moddy The Electric Riot and ace up and coming popsters Eugene Machine.
	Tits Of Death with Happy Trigger & Manifesto Photo Gallery	All girl rockers brought their punky shouty glam rackets to 93, with support from electro popsters Happy Trigger, and dark soulful trancers Manifesto.
	Man Like Me with The Arcadia Party Program & The Inconsolables Photo Gallery	Another great line up, with a headline show from East London's Man Like Me, who had the room packed and jumping for their urban anthems. They should be massive...
	Soho Dolls with Diskoboy, Newvolution & Gertudes Storm Photo Gallery	Soho Dolls saw the room packed to the rafters for this small club show just ahead of the release of their debut album. Suitably electronic support warmed things up nicely.
	The Priscillas with The Duloks, Look Look (Dancing Boys) & The Schla La Las Photo Gallery	A female only 'Girls Rock' special showcasing an excellent array of all girl bands and DJ's. Headliners The Priscillas are pictured rocking the Main Hall to a packed crowd!
	Dragonette with Cassette & Lo Slung Photo Gallery	Canadian popsters brought their ace tunes to us for an intimate clubshow and created a cool buzz around them. Electro pop support from another two up and coming bands.
	The Count with So So Modern, Personal Space Invaders & The Patty Winters Show Photo Gallery	Noisy headliners re-invent Punk just for Buttoned Down Liveshow. Even Pete Voss wore ear protectors! Ace support from So So Modern, Personal Space Invaders and Patty Winters Show.
	Shlomo & the Vocal Orchestra with MC Zani & They Live Photo Gallery	Shlomo made his return to Buttoned Down, this time bringing another seven human beatboxers on the stage alongside the legendary Swingle Singers, and conducted his very own human orchestra! Completely unique.
	Goose with R3mote & Bee Stings Photo Gallery	Goose completely rocked Buttoned Down Liveshow with a highly original collage of kick-ass synth sounds with live drums. Support came from dark electro trio R3mote plus excellent melodic pop from London's Bee Stings.
	Coco Electrik with Phenol & Nobra Photo Gallery	Coco Electrik played an intense show of electro rock anthems, with Phenol bringing excellent melodic pop in support. Nobra was exactly that, but with deadpan humoured experimental backing in the shape of, um, an iPod!
	They Came From The Stars (I Saw Them) Photo Gallery	Hot on the heels of a TimeOut feature declaring them London's answer to Sun Ra, the band played a beautiful show combining Christmas outfits and giant snowflakes with electronic wizardly, a live harp player and dancers!
	Xerox Teens with Chik Budo Photo Gallery	Chik Budo took indie theory but ditched the guitars in favour of two saxophone players! A highly original and danceable set. Xerox Teens set was so danceable though, that it actually prompted a neu-rave stage invasion! Fun.
	Kish Mauve with Scarlet Soho Photo Gallery	Kish Mauve had previously impressed crowd at Bestival and Glastonbury with their stylish take on electro pop, including an ace cover of The Passions. Scarlet Soho brought an excellent set of darker electro rock.
	Schmoof Photo Gallery	Armed with matching rubber suits and Roland SH101's, Schmoof had narrowly escaped fame and yet found themselves on the front page of Metro following their 'Chocolate Boyfriend' single last September.
	Leather Hands Photo Gallery	Fronted by our very own door host Jay, Leather Hands brought glitz and glamour to our July party last year. An excellent 30 minute set heaving with potential hits, these guys should have been huge really...
	Go Kart Mozart Photo Gallery	Fronted by the legendary Lawrence from Felt / Denim, this show had them playing only their fifth ever gig. Drawing fans from as far afield as Leeds and Manchester for the one night, their show was amazingly atmospheric.
	Shlomo Photo Gallery	Having already dazzled audiences at Royal Festival Hall and Later With Jools Holland, Shlomo steps up to the mike for 20 minutes of furious beatboxing. Our first ever live act, and the crowd was screaming for more!
