JF5 Save Diana Vickers

Justice Force 5 and Diana Vickers in Brighton SOURCE magazine Brighton's best music culture and listings magazine

Brighton’s superhero rock band, Justice Force 5 – who “kick ass like Van Dam and rock like Van Halen” – have turned up on YouTube saving Diana Vickers’ life. Yeah, the real Diana Vickers – although the ‘save’ is to promote their recent double A-side single release ‘Fight the Fight’ and ‘J.U.S.T.I.C.E Force Dance’. Turns out the ex-X Factor poppet and No.1 pop star is a huge fan after seeing several of their gigs.
“JF5 are wicked live,” Diana says. “They're so different from any other band out there at the moment. It’s very refreshing. Their live sets are so fun and exciting; they really know how to win a crowd over and keep them on the edge of their seats!”
Watch the short film here – it’s got fighting, special effects and Diana in a lycra outfit.

Jimmy Is The Strongest Link

Bobby McGee's on The Weakest Link on Brighton SOURCE magazine at www.brightonsource.co.uk

The Bobby McGee’s’ very own Jimmy – aka Coco The Bastard – has won The Weakest Link. The ukulele-wielding alt-folk nutter took on Anne Robinson and made her look pretty damn stupid. “So, do they let women into your beard club,” she asked him. “I’m sure we can find a space for you,” he retorted without missing a beat. The hunter becomes the hunted. Watch it on iPlayer here – it’s a good 45 minutes of entertainment. He took home £2,500 despite many of the other players being idiots.

Brighton's Bust

Modern Toss for Brighton's SOURCE magazine, Brighton's best listings,music,arts,club and culture magazine

As independent businesses keep getting edged out of Brighton, we feel it's time for us residents to take a stand for our beloved city and make our voices heard.

Slack Space Brighton

Founders of the movement Charlie Davies and Matt Weston wanted to legally put empty and unused spaces in town to good use. A more philosophical approach to space-sharing, questioning the usage of derelict buildings, on-hold building sites to office desk space; and how they can be occupied with everyone involved being happy about it.
