Charleen + No Empire + Seadog

Charleen, No Empire and Seadog share a bill at The Prince Albert on Tuesday 10 November, a night put on by 50cc Promotions. The three acts are described as turning introspection into dance music, so it's a bit of a double-edged evening: the kind of songs you listen to on your own, played in a room where you're meant to move. The Prince Albert is a small one, with a capacity of 100, and the night is open to all ages.

Charleen brings 80s-soaked new wave from the French Alps. She's the woman behind 'No Name', a track recorded with Indochine, and she's now carving her own path performing alone on stage. The new wave label does a lot of the heavy lifting there—think synth lines and a certain kind of neon-lit mood—and the French Alps connection adds a bit of distance to the whole thing. It's a solo set, so you'll see her handling the songs on her own rather than backed by a full band.

No Empire and Seadog round out the bill, and the three together fit that same description: introspection turned into dance music. It's a bill that leans into the contrast between the internal and the external, the quiet and the loud. With three acts on one night, the evening should give you a good sense of where each one sits.

Doors are at 7:30 pm, and tickets start from £7.00. The Prince Albert is at 48 Trafalgar Street, BN1 4ED, and as it's an all-ages night, you can bring whoever you like.
