The C86 All Stars

On Wednesday, Club NME at Spaceland will host a covers project sure to pique the interest of '80s and '90s-era Anglophiles — the C86 All Stars. "C86" was the name of a compilation cassette of new bands released by the magazine NME in 1986, featuring a large dose of jangly and melodic pop. C86 became a term encompassing a segment of the British indie-pop scene. The Spaceland show will feature one musician from that original tape, the Mighty Lemon Drops guitarist David Newton, as part of a five-piece covering C86-era songs. Bowl haircuts optional. -Kevin Bronson, LA Times ------------------------------------------------- Below are clips from THE C86 All Stars gig at CLUB NME @ Spaceland in Los Angeles, December 27th 2006.ONLY SHALLOW:-PENELOPE TREE: -HAPPY HEAD: -CHRISTINE: -SENSITIVE: -NEVER UNDERSTAND: -SERIOUS DRUGS: -
