Sunday Best Bestival at Brockwell Lido this Sunday July 25 - Featuring Grand National and Mylo
Jean Harlow on the cover back in 1935

London is famous for its nightlife and fashion; but they have hardly made good bedfellows.

Visit any "hot" night in London and you are guaranteed to see people channeling one of these three moods: 1) Suit, 2) Essex football wife and/or 3) Scruff - but with really expensive Diesel jeans and a limited edition Richard Nichol T-shirt, natch.

At least things are changing with initiatives like The Modern Times Club. Finally, somebody realised that there are certain individuals, namely myself, who don't like looking like street urchin when they try to pull. Some of us require a little glamour. Like Gosford Park, silver cigarette case, red lipstick glamour.

You may have missed this month's Modern Times event (at the GE Club first Sunday of every month), but next Tuesday, David Piper (the Modern Times promoter) will be hamming it up at the Spitz to celebrate the release of [The Real] Tuesday Weld's first single off their new album 'I, Lucifer' (think 30s Music Hall). With their smouldering lounge style and eclectic beats, this is one band that can't help but entertain.

Unsigned band to watch, Lily Fraser - think Kate Bush, not so much wailing - plays at Bedford Arms. Gig at 9pm. 77 Bedford Hill, SW12. Free.

The bi-monthly Antenna at the NFT shows the latest, greatest and most daring of new music promos. 8:45pm. Belvedere Road, SE1. £7.90. 020 7928 3232 or online.

Now, there may not be the usual nymphs in bathtubs and string quartet (it's at the Spitz, not GE Club), but be sure that wherever there's a hint of Modern Times, there's decadence and debauchery, so get vintage hunting, cause this is one gig where scruffy chic just isn't going to cut it.

[The Real] Tuesday Weld - 7pm Tuesday July 27
at Spitz, 109 Commercial St, E1 - 020 7392 9032
Check out their single The Ugly & The Beautiful here
