<p><font size="1">You can see three bands at the Monarch in Camden
this Sunday (April 14th) for a bargain �5, or �4 if you can track
down a flyer. Kilkus (pictured), Ill Logic and RX form the line-up.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">Stomping out of the heart of Essex, Kilkus, formed
in mid-1998, have built up an exceptional reputation amongst gig
goers for their energetic, angst ridden crushing live sets and are
part of the expanding pool of talent in the London and South East
England Metal Scene. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Ill Logic were forged from the ashes of Colchester
metallers Emnity and youthful rap metallers Carbon (who split a
couple of years ago). Ill logic are responsible for some of the
the most bowel-worryingly bass-driven beatdown rap metal ever witnessed.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">RX was formed at the end of 99. The musical influences
of each band member brings something different from each of them,
from Hardcore to Emo, from Metal to Rock the musical influence varies
and helps define the bands sound as not one but many.</font></p>

<p><font size="1">This Thursday, Friday and Saturday sultry voiced
soul diva Jean Carne is playing at the Jazz Caf�. The early to mid-'70's
saw the emergence of a different type of female vocalist into the
world of soul and R&B;, women like Phyllis Hyman, Angela Bofill,
Dee Dee Bridgewater and... Jean Carne. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">All these women defied easy labeling, gliding from
the smoothest soul to jazz to pop with ease. Although they may not
have broken through to mainstream audiences at the time, their influence
permeated the musical ether, and all of today's younger female soul
singers and girl groups owe them a significant debt.</font></p>
<p><font size="1"> From her early work with Duke Ellington to collaborations
with ex-husband Doug Carne and the late Grover Washington Jr., Jean
Carne has been singled out for her incredible range, her impeccable
artistic styling and innate musical ability. Her hits include a
number one, Closer Than Close, as well as the club smashes Was That
All It Was and Don't Let It Go To Your Head. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Renowned for these dance floor evergreens as well
as solo repertoire on the Philadelphia International and Motown
labels, she has lent her vocal talents to a myriad of artists over
the years including The Temptations, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie
Wonder, Stanley Turrentine, Roy Ayers and Norman Connors. </font></p>

Courtney Pine + Niki King Quartet + Jazz Cotech Dancers & DJS <br>
Awarded an OBE for his outstanding contribution to British music,
Courtney Pine is no stuffy peer of the realm. His success lies in
his appropriation of the disparate elements of British urban music

throws together with ease, creating a live show that stirrs the
senses and guarantees a party atmosphere. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">At his traditional Christmas residency he will be
playing music from his latest album Back In The Day ('Nothing short
of stunning' - Musik) aided by his amazing group - voted Best Live
Band at The 2001 BBC Jazz Awards.</font></p>

<p><font size="1">The leader of Camden Council, Jane Roberts, has
said that nightclubs might be allowed to test ecstasy pills for
purity. She also called for the decriminalisation of ecstasy. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Such tests are already carried out in Amsterdam
in a bid to protect clubbers from 'bad' ecstasy. Ms Roberts was
speaking to BBC's Radio One in a programme that is to be broadcast
tonight (Monday 3rd December). </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Replying to a question about enforcing drugs legislation
the Council leader says: "The targeting of intervention should be
on heroin and crack cocaine. We've got numbers of clubs where ecstasy
is taken and used. It doesn't cause mass community disorder, certainly
not." </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Camden has a number of well-known London clubs within
its borders like the Electric Ballroom, The Cross and Bagleys and
already demands that clubs should provide ample and free supplies
of fresh water. Dangerous dehydration is one of the common side-effects
of ecstasy. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Speaking on the same programme, Home Office Minister
Bob Ainsworth said that the government would not relax the laws
on ecstasy.</font></p>
