FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 17TH – SPANK THE SQURRIEL FEATURING IGOR VOLK LIVE

Summer may be coming to an end, but keeping the musical sunshine very much alive this Autumn will be new solo artist Igor Volk, of New Young Pony Club fame, whom will be performing an exclusive live show for us at Spank. Going it alone for the first time, Igor will be showcasing a set of brand new material with hints of Royksopp, Roxy Music, Talking Heads and Talk Talk.

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 25TH – GUILTY PLEASURES : LOST IN SPACE – 6th BIRTHDAY

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away a long forgotten musical genre was rediscovered under a pile of brit pop schlop and trance anthem CDs. It was rescued from this desolate wasteland of shame and embarrassment and placed back on the pedestal it deserved and once more recognised as the beacon of brilliance. This, my friends was POP MUSIC. And since this day it has been rejoiced to intergalactic heights by the cast of Guilty Pleasures at their many jamborees across the planet – from London to Barcelona, Toronto to Abu Dhabi, Edinburgh to erm, Keele University, the power of pop has conquered all. On Saturday 25th September 2010 Guilty Pleasures will mark this day of discovery, with their Sixth Birthday Party: Lost in Space. Our love of pop is bigger than the universe and despite the kryptonite-like sneering remarks, cynicism and endlessly dull “there’s only two types of music: good or bad” comments, Guilty Pleasures continues in its quest to bring euphoric glee and boundless enthusiasm of this wonderful world of pop to the good people of Earth. Taking to the stage for the night will be the Guilty Pleasures DJs, dancers, prancers and show-offs that are: Sean Rowley, Anna Greenwood, Hot Gusset, DreamBears, Father Oates and his Confessional Booth. Sci-fi is our theme and as always we extend the invitation to dress up as you deem appropriate: Darleks, rockets, robots, planets, Storm Troopers, Trekkies, occupants of interplanetary craft etc all welcome. We are your friends.

KOKO, 9.30pm – 3am £16.50 / less in advance at Guiltypleasures.co.uk
