Each attendee will be given a ballot paper on entry and asked to vote for their favourite artist from the shortlist. The winners will receive a specially designed sculpture that will also be up for grabs on the night.

Kid Rock live at the Hammersmith Apollo, London
Enjoy!
Kid Rock has announced that he will be returning to the UK this N
ovember to perform a one off show at London's Hammersmith Apollo.Kid Rock has sold over 25 million albums since the release of his debut album Grits Sandwiches For Breakfast in 1990 and he recently shot to number 1 in the charts with ‘All Summer Long'.
Whatever you want to call him - Rock & Roll Jesus, the Detroit Cowboy, American Badass, the Early Morning Stoned Pimp, or just plain Bobby, as he's known to his friends and family, Kid Rock always guarantees an exceptional show, making this one-off UK performance one not to be missed.
In the spirit of working-class rockers from the great state of Michigan --- Grand Funk Railroad, Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Mitch Ryder --- Rock doesn't believe music should be complicated. His attitude is live and let live --- a refreshing if somewhat dumbfounding stance from a self-professed red-neck who has been known to wave guns around.
Trioka Digital Zoetrope installation for the Onedotzero Adventures inMotion festival at the BFI
Whilst at the BFI Southbank for a preview screening of Franklyn I discovered an interesting installation in the foyer. Turned out is was a digital Zoetrope.
From Wiki: A zoetrope is a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.
After a bit of snooping I found out that "Onedotzero commissioned Trioka to create an entire "multi-sensory identity" for the Adventures in Motion festival, consisting of printed material, a digital trailer and an installation.

the festival showcases a tantalising mix of the brightest up-and-coming talents alongside world-leading creative luminaries; an international array of creators who stretch ideas of motion entertainment, where code clashes with hand crafted, street art tussles with technology and new modes of storytelling are unleashed from the small screen to the BFI IMAX. all underpinned by a theme of citystates, a creative inquiry into the idea of how we live in the modern metropolis.
They also took inspiration from the traditional technology of a Victorian zoetrope – a cylinder containing slits with a band of images on the inside; when you spin the cylinder the images blur together to give the illusion of a moving image. Troika have created a digital version of this, a cylindrical tower with an internal light; as the cylinder rotates and the light strobes, stories of people’s lives in different cities are alternately display

Independant Massachusettian rockers Four Year Strong are playing a secret gig in London
Four Year Strong is a five-piece American Pop Punk / Hardcore punk band from Worcester, Massachusetts. 3/5 of the band were in the original lineup that dates back to 2001. Dan, Alan and Jake all attended Doherty Memorial High School in Worcester and met through mutual friends. After the departure of the original bassist some 2 or 3 years after formation, they met Joe and asked him to fill the gap. Their early work never included any keyboards or synthesizers, but after a while they began to incorporate it into their music. The band cycled through many keyboardists, but recruited their current keyboardist Josh Lyford in late 2006. Over the past years, the band has done multiple national tours, sharing the stage with such bands as The Starting Line, Hellogoodbye, From First to Last, Every Time I Die, Hidden in Plain View, All Time Low,New Found Glory, Bayside and Steel Train. The band toured Australia in June 2008 with Rex Banner.

It is expected to fetch in excess of £80,000.

Preview of Franklyn, London
Awesome ! I having been waiting to see "Franklyn" for a while - ever since I read an interesting 
article in Empire magazine about a year ago about a set visit.
The article evoked imagery of V for Vendetta/Equilibrium/Watchmen/Bladerunner/The Matrix mixed with regular every day London. I missed the screening at the LFF (London Film Festival) but was fortunate to get a ticket to a preview screening this weekend at the BFI. I was a little surprised that despite positive reviews Franklyn still does not have an official release date.
After watching the trailer my expectations are high.
You are cordially invited to a Preview screening of Franklyn and question and answer session with Producer Jeremy Thomas and Writer/Director Gerald McMorrow.
A magical realist exploration of the intersection of love, fantasy and faith in four disparate lives, the film moves deftly between contemporary London and the futurist Meanwhile City. Notable for its bold, original use of metropolitan locations."Franklyn is basically about four intertwining stories, three of which are based in contemporary London and one of which is based in a kind of parallel fantasy environment called Meanwhile City. Ou
r hero in that strand is this sort-of masked vigilante detective who's the only atheist in Meanwhile City, played by Ryan Phillippe, who basically runs around trying to extract people from cults, has a big cynicism about the whole thing and hates The Ministry with a vengeance."What is Meanwhile City? "It's this place which is sort-of run by a shadowy, religious uber-power called The Ministry who has decided, over the centuries, that as long as they can get their population to believe in something - anything - they can control them. People have faiths and religions based on strange things like The 
Seventh Day Manicurists and Washing Machine Street Preachers. Their doctrines and dogmas are all based on things like washing machine instructions."Franklyn stars:
Sam Riley
Eva Green
Ryan Phillippe
Susannah York
Jeremy Thomas and Gerald McMorrow will take part in a post-screening Q&A.
