Noah and The Whale have announced they are to headline PUSH Club’s New Years Eve party, the final ever NYE to be held at The Astoria, on 31st December.
The band broke off from the midst of a UK tour, performing to huge audiences across the country to provide the following comment:
“After detailed, protracted and highly confidential rider negotiations, Noah and the Whale have agreed to play Push Club’s New Years Eve party. An extension to Urby Whale’s clothing rail and an application to the city electric and water boards withstanding, the band are looking forward to joining forces with their long-term friends and crushed velvet enthusiasts Young and Lost Club. No strangers to the regorian calendar and modest celebration, Noah and the Whale will enact their musical first-footing at the Astoria 2 where there will be no burning of the clavie, no fire poi and minimal street drumming.”
PUSH Club promoter Pedro Morales added: “It’s fitting that the final ever New Years Eve at The Astoria will be headlined by one of our favourite bands. Let’s party hard, because in 5 Years Time, there’ll be nothing but a shiny new tube stop.”

nd the Whale present The A Sides:
Four men, one studio, two late nights and a two take limit. The A Sides are the product of left-over studio time from recording Noah and the Whale B sides. Freed from a subterranean high-security safe of mainstream musical conformity by London’s finest purveyors of cutting-edge crushed velvet musical mayhem, Young and Lost Club are releasing a limited pressing of 2500 12” EPs in time for Christmas on December 22nd. A mixture of unheard originals and covers, and ground-breaking artwork from the band’s long-term collaborator Alex Brenchley, the raw raucous punk energy of the recordings promises to dislocate ossicles and fracture conventional musical sensibilities.
Push club night bore witness to the single legendary ferocious live outing for The A Sides in May 2008 of which limited video footage exists
