Joe Strummer Memorial Gig: Happy Mondays & Ex-Smiths

Gigwise reports: *Oasis, Primal Scream and Smiths stars are to perform a host of classic Clash songs to mark the fifth anniversary of Joe Strummer’s death. Members of The Happy Mondays and Alabama 3 will also appear at the event at JAMM in London on December 22nd. ‘London Calling – Remembering Joe Strummer,’ has been organised by Geoff Martin, the director of the Left Field Stage at the Glastonbury Festival. “We wanted to mark the fifth anniversary of Joe Strummer’s death with a unique event that marks the positive impact that his life had on so many of us. Brixton JAMM will be the place to be,” he said. The supergroup, known as the Strummerville Collective, will also feature Jamie T and members of Paul Weller’s band. "Money raised will be shared by Strummerville – the Joe Strummer Foundation for new music – and RAR08 which will be fighting to stop the BNP in the run up to next May’s London elections,” Martin added. "We also hope to make enough cash to put a bunch of guitars into Brixton prison as part of Billy Bragg’s Jail Guitar Doors initiative, in memory of Joe.”* Enjoy a Clash MP3 below.

Strummer, Cobain, Vicious & Ramone Used In New Docs Ads

Eery? I surely think so.

Deceased rock royalty Kurt Cobain, Joe Strummer, Joey Ramone and Sid Vicious are all being used in a new print/poster campaign across the UK for famous footwear designer, Dr. Martens.

Punk News reports that Dr. Martens said the following about the new ads: "We wanted to communicate that Dr. Martens boots are ‘made to last,’ and we discovered that these idolized musicians wore them. Showing them still wearing their Docs in heaven dramatized the boots’ durability perfectly. And, as images, they feel very iconic."

Check out Joe Strummer in his Docs to your right; to view all the associated images, hop over to Oh No They Didn't.

Arcade Fire: London Calling

Last night, The Arcade Fire covered The Clash's 'The Guns Of Brixton' at the third of their week-long string of London shows.

Appropriate enough, right?

Are you ready for their NYC Judson church stint in 2 weeks?

Are you ticketless like us?

(Perhaps there's still some hope?)

The last few UK gigs have included the band playing on church steps, going into the middle of the crowd to perform acoustically and err, a new haircut on Win!

The lucky few with a ticket in hand, you are damn lucky, and we are insanely jealous.

Yesterday's setlist:
'The Guns Of Brixton'
'Keep The Car Running'
'Black Mirror'
'No Cars Go'
'Black Wave/Bad Vibrations'
'Windowsill'
'The Well And The Lighthouse'
'Ocean Of Noise'
'Rebellion (Lies)'
'Intervention'
'(Antichrist Television Blues)'
'My Body Is A Cage'
'Neighborhood # 1 (Tunnels)'
