BAND PROFILES: Sussex, Youth, Freedom & their Songs of Love

>

	Brighton and Sussex are at the core of the new Love Revolution and the music is the link with the 60s. I am at the centre of it all because without the fans the show and community is incomplete. Band profiles is my on the spot gig review.
Brighton has long been the Capital of the Free World and has been at the forefront of youth culture and new art for decades, usually long before the nation's capital, London. So it was to be that the Love Generation was to return to the planet here and among its wider Sussex acolytes 45 years after its opening set, back in the day of Velvet Underground, It's a Beautiful Day, Jefferson Airplane and the Doors. Like back in the 60's, it took a world recession to bring the human race together in community, love and spirit and these qualities have re-awakened from the same need to share after three decades of cultural greed and materialism. Today, behind the south coast, the first contact is always acceptance, families are becoming fashionable again, single mums condo their resources and love for their kids, dudes dropped into fatherhood simply don't run off anymore and are still around to support and the whole extended family comes together in the local colleges (there are few jobs, so where else do guys go?), local clubs and bars and in the expression of music. And this is where band profiles comes in, born from a simple Facebook notification that Ceyote were playing the Tubman. No this was not a console game, but a new direction for Band Profiles, who had been following older-generation tribute bands around Sussex pubs. The Tubman comes over like my old South Bank Uni Student Union clubhouse in Elephant & Castle, with its concert and activity room juxtaposed by annexed areas where socialising can happen in real time. It differed from the other 15-odd free music pubs in Hastings, in that it focused on new music, original works from the next generation. It is effectively Brighton Venues eastern branch, following in the footfalls of such established new music haunts such as the prince Albert, the Blind Tiger and the Green Door Store. And the Tubman is where this page all began.
