Current Undercurrant - digibundle

Current Undercurrant was a regular music night which took place the last Wednesday of most months at Jurnets Bar, a genuinely legendary venue on Wensum Street, Norwich, which operated for decades before closing around the time of the 2020 pandemic. The night was created by Shane Olinski in conjunction with Ryan Williamson as a recording event, part of Shane's perpetual drive to create and capture the vibrant music scene in his beloved home town.

The tracks from this compilation are all from one night in November 2017 and shows how special Norwich's music scene is. This free download is a treasure trove that gives the listener a semblance of what it was like in Norwich at the time, where events like this were happening weekly, and in particular what it was like at Jurnets bar. This is truly a historic document which is why it's FREE, FREE, FREE.

A Barrage of Bangers

Dec 11, 2021

Before lockdown we (Off with their Records and Ideal Surreal) had some of the best gigs we've ever organised lined up. I'm talking a gig a month for 6 months of not just the best bands around but some of the best bands that have ever been around the scene. After a bit of a lull back when the recession happened, Norwich is booming again with the quality, diversity, character and dynamism that it has been so famous for and we now boast a live music scene that is bristling with mind-bending talent. Then lockdown hit and that all got scrapped. But since the world started opening up again we have resumed our giggage and it has been spectacular. Not only have we had line-ups that should go down in legend, the crowds have been insane. Now we have 2 more gigs to go before we take a little break to focus on writing, recordings and releases in 2022.

I won't go on too much about the gig on 11th because it's sold out. If you're going, you know about it, if not, I won't rub it in. But if you're about on 17th December we have a free entry party-style gig going on at the Rumsey Wells. A loose line-up, jammy elements, Ideal Surreal DJ-ing afterwards and general fun. Join us for our last knees-up of the year.

Mūsa Euphoria

Nov 29, 2021

We have yet another gig coming up for you. Enjoy them now because we're taking a break from live music soon to focus on recordings and releases.

On 3rd December at the almighty Voodoo Daddy's Showroom we have another Off with their Records/Ideal Surreal showcase.

Headlining are Galli who are a unique band in Norwich, soaring above the scene with her Jeff Buckley-esque songwriting and poly-talented band.

Main support, Shane O'Linski, plays one of his legendary impromptu orchestra /massive band performances. Really not to be missed.

And opening the night, 2-piece newcomers The Rabbits charm with their acoustic folk-inspired music.

After this we have 2 more gigs before the end of the year, follow us on Instagram etc to stay up to date.

2-Scoops

Nov 20, 2021

It's been a busy time for us as far as gigs are concerned. We've been slapping Norwich with some pretty fine live music over the last couple of months and we have a few more coming up. On 25th November at Voodoo Daddy's we have 2 Off with their Records bands playing on the same bill. MARLA and Yellowhammers are supporting frat-rock favourites, Bag of Cans, along with Californian indie-rockers, The Acharis.

3rd December Off with their Records star player, Shane Olinski, is playing one of his typically unique shows with an ad hoc band that's rumoured to be about 10-people strong, supporting Galli and with support from The Rabbits.

11th December Catch 21 Records are running a joint Christmas do with Off with their Records. It starts at the Shoe Factory with a massive line-up of killer bands and Wildcraft Brewery catering the event with exclusive beverages.

And there are more but I'm running out of space. Keep your eyes on here for more updates.
