Happy birthday us! Join us if you can.

DrownedinSound celebrates its eighth anniversary in October - and what better way to get the party started than a couple of special showcases at the beginning of the month? With help from our friends at Concrete & Glass and In The City, we've put together two bumper bills for all you lucky people - full details of which appear below. And at the end of the month we're launching a monthly DiScover Club in Manchester, and celebrating DiS' 8th with The Week That Was in Sheffield. See you... somewhere - it's going to be quite a month!

Balderdash

and blistering barnacles. Can't make it, and as an old skool-er I would have liked to sink a beer to celebrate... Anyway....have a fun time, Sean, and pat yourself on the back many times indeed!

wristbands

if I pay one of them ITC £25 wristbands will I be able to get into the These New Puritans gig with it or do I need to pay the £6 anyway?
