  LoveBite live visuals @ Social Intercourse, Proud Camden 12/02/09











We went down to Camden in February to do some live visuals for the Social Intercourse launch night at Proud. We projected animations made especially for the event directly onto the performers.

In association with Proud galleries Camden and Conscious culture, SOCIAL INTERCOURSE is an eclectic mix of performing arts, motion graphics, world and fusion music. The evening was hosted by Dr Funk with visuals throughout the night provided by LoveBite. The live music Line Up included:

J-TREOLE: A fantastic four piece musical cocktail of jazz, rap and soul with a sprinkling of Salsa thrown in for good measure described as "...THE most amazing Indie Hip Hop Jazz hot sauce the UK has to offer" Barfly (Jan 2007)

NICK MULVEY: is one of the UK's brightest upcoming musical lights as one quarter of the Mercury Music Prize nominated Portico Quartet or as an engaging and accomplished singer-songwriting guitarist in his own right.

PAMOJA: is a 5-piece Afro beat world music band based in London, and is the brainchild of Simon Chauke. Simon hails from the Limpopo Province of South Africa, a stone throw from the famous Kruger National Park.

It was an awesome night and an amazing crowd. We even got a DJ set in at the end, playing along with the bongo players from Pamoja!
