So, Nottingham's newest club night takes its first steps into Junktion 7 by bringing you the cream of the East Midlands' music scene for it's next venture.
Having already hosted sell-out shows by the likes of Komakino and iLiKETRAiNS as well as blistering sets from the likes of Dirty Little Faces, The Pigeon Detectives and Alex Kid, we're now going for a more local theme for May's extravaganza. The line-up is as follows:-
LO-EGO - "Lo-Ego's mixture of tragedy, violence and ecstasy is all too rare amongst many of their one-scene-fits-all crazed peers" (Drowned In Sound)

LOVE ENDS DISASTER! - "Within the year this band will be massive, and we've not been wrong before" (Rough Trade)

SILHOUETTES OF SOLDIERS - "Their brooding semi-nihilistic hardcore brings to mind the intensity of Glassjaw coupled with the heavyweight riffage of Monster Magnet" (Drowned In Sound)

THE HELLSET ORCHESTRA - "This seven piece extravaganza is the Hellset Orchestra from Nottingham. Getting all of them on the Windmill stage is quite an achievement, and getting them to sound as good as they do even more so. It's all a bit throw everything at it and see what sticks, but the good far out weighs the bad." (Artrocker)

And if that doesn't make you dribble with anticipation, then June's World Cup appetiser bill will make you want to wet your pants, stick them to your front window panes and goad passers-by into having a lick. To say it's a cracking line-up would just be blowing our own trumpets but, what the hell...
HELP SHE CAN'T SWIM - "Bis goes to the disco dressed as The Blood Brothers" (Drowned In Sound)
