What's that bar called again? (Tues 29 March - 3 April)

Coming up this week...

Tuesday 29th March

DJ Andrew Tidball
Churning out a healthy mixture of r&b, rock'n'roll, soul and good-ass tunes, Mr Tidball is making a rare Tuesday night appearance at the Goldenest of the Dawns tonight - set to prove that even Tuesday nights are still NIGHTS.
8pm - close

Wednesday 30th March

DJ Anitarosentreter
Joining the dots between Joy Division and Tom Waits, The Smiths and that new Radiohead album... it's Anitarosentreter! It's been a long time coming, but Anita is about to make her Golden Dawn DJing Debut. Bust out the party poppers, and the beer as well please.
8pm - close

Thursday 31st March

Yamjamz DJs
The Yamjammers are back - for a sequel that promises to knock the wig off John Key! Soul, funk, soundtracks, sleaze, sass, and anything else that decides to rain from their starry skies. Yummo.
8pm - close

Friday 1st April

DJs Shady & the Tramp
These April fools are back to make your socks hop, your clocks stop, and... what's another rhyme? Clip clop? Anyway, country-tonk, psycho-billy, and willy-nilly rock'n'roll are on the menu.
8pm - 11pm

DJ Paydirt
If Paydirt can't make it sound good while it goes round in circles, then that's not a record worth owning. He blew us all away last time with his mastermind timing of what-to-play-next, and he'll no doubt cure your Friday night blues with his fucking great musical decision making.
11pm - close

Saturday 2nd April

Barney's Factory of Music
What's in Barney's crate today? Who can say! Could it be a delicious French disco tune, or an early 1980s post-punk b-side? Could it be some grimy L.A. rock'n'roll? Yes it could. You'll just have to wait'n'see...
8pm - 11pm

DJ Johnny Was A Baker
Like that cartoon anteater shoving his nose into anthills, so Mr Baker pokes his expert beak into any nook or cranny that might contain a rare version, curious hit, or weird wonder from yesteryear. If JB isn't playing your song tonight, you need to get a new song, toerag!
11pm - close

Sunday 3rd April

LIVE: Silke!
From 8pm sharpish, come and be wooed by the angelic voice and plucking beautiful ukulele sounds of Silke. Whether she be charming you with a New Order cover or one of her own compositions, you don't want to miss this.
8pm (two sets)

DJ Todd Beeby
Spinning lounge, exotica, jazz, swing, motown and jukebox rock n roll for your enjoyment - we'd like to welcome to the fold Mr Todd Beeby to round out an amazing week of music. Excellent shit.

The Young Pretender
No need to be modest, sir, we all know you're not pretending at all! Indeed you are the best dressed man in the room, without fail, you wear a smile at all times, you're a passionate gentleman with music in your blood, and it's your birthday. Can you please come and play some yacht rock / 50s swing / etc for us instead of having a birthday party? Yes? Awesome xox

Friday 25th March
DJ Dave Taylor
A seasoned player in these halls, Mr Taylor is geared up to shake you nicely with his selection of psychy-psycho-psycha goodness. A Reverend when it comes to the world of vinyl, will you please be upstanding - and then shuffle those feet. Everybody play nice while Mr Taylor plays dirty, that's the rules.
8 - 11

DJ Roger The Money
Last time Mr Money brought his "thang" at the bar, the staff, the customers, the neighbours, and the council (who were monitoring our volume levels) all agreed: "You gotta get that guy back on the decks ASAP". We apologise for the delay.

This Saturday, come help them celebrate the addition of Ms Turntables to the team from 8pm til close, and bring your best soul-pants, funk-coat, and good times shoes. Yessir!

Wednesday 16th March
DJ PhoonTang
Mistress PhoonTang is one of the last remaining true music fans. She's been known to swoon in the presence of folk singers, scream at the sight of bass players, and faint in the discotheque. Tonight, she'll be the one get panties thrown at her - with her inimitable and formidable DJ styling.

Thursday 17th March
DJs House & Garden + DJ Custard Square
Back for another round before they re-relocate to Berlin, DJ House & Garden + DJ Custard Square will rock the party, be polite to ladies, and drink lots of Hallertau before the sun is down. When the sun is down they will still do the above, but wearing mysterious masks and capes. Fact. Beware!
8 - late

Tourettes - poetry set (live)
Back from Melbourne for far too short a visit, Tourettes - aka award winning wordsmith and rapper Dominic Hoey - is here to read you some of his brand new material. Expect to laugh, tug at your collar, and feel ashamed of yourself.

Friday 18th March
DJ Steve Newall
Making his debut at The Golden Dawn: Tavern of Power, it's Steve Newall! Pretty exciting really, given that before Steve went away he was pretty much one of our favourite DJs. He's back now, and that's all that matters. Solid tunes, bro. Solid tunes.
8 - 11

DJ Jon Bywater
The man with an entire room of his house dedicated solely to Japanese psychedelia vinyl, Jon Bywater is not only an expert in J-psych, but also in tunes that make the heart soar and the soul say, "Hmmm".

DJ Murray Cammick
Kicking off with a mix of 60s soul & R&B of the mod & Northern Soul persuasion, then taking off on tangents wild and rare, Mr Murray Cammick is a seasoned expert in the field of just about any kind music there is.

Ready your brill cream, don your suede winklepickers, tidy up your eyebrows, and get ready to kick up a fuss, because Dr Karl Steven is back! Flipping discs like sexy pancakes, Dr Karl knows rock'n'roll better than you know your own teeth. Boom-chicka-boom!
8 - 11

DJ Julien Dyne
Following hot on the Cuban heels of Dr Steven is the master of exotic sounds himself: Senor Julien Dyne. Himself a tight rhythm master, Julien has the keenest sense of what a dancefloor needs than perhaps any other man on this Earth. Bold claim, but I'm sticking with it.

Saturday 12th March
DJ Cheeseburger and “That Ginger Chap”
