BLOODY AWFUL POETRY

Bloody Awful Poetry is neither bloody nor awful. But there is poetry, mostly awful. And lots of music which is distinctly non-awful. In fact the music is rather great, taking in all manner of indie stylings from synth-pop and hip-hop to some good old rock n roll. Headliners tonight, The Outside Royalty, have been hailed as natural succcessors to Roxy Music, hailed by the likes of Radio 1's Colin Murray along the way.

THE SMALL DISCO
20:30-01:00
Free Entry

British Males djs

Recent Time Out 'On The Up' guest stars, British Males are two misguided souls, each of whom believes the other to be the back end of the donkey. It could go two ways - either they bury the hatchet and conjure a delirious five hours of hoover bass, major chords and 12-part vocal harmonies or it turns nasty and you wind up dancing around in their guts. You pays your money, you takes your choice. Be strange, but never strangers.

Stopmakingme (AITBF/Kill Em All) dj
Singleton dj

AITBF/Kill Em All resident Stopmakingme and fellow Pure Groove honcho (and beef eater) Mr.Singleton, have been causing quite a storm upstairs in the Small Disco. Think the most amazing loft party you could imagine, albeit with the Bugsy Malone theme tune thrown in amongst the Born Ruffians, lost house gems, Esser, Lil' Kim and Fleetwood Mac records. Crate digging without the crates - and way more fun.
