MONTH OF FRIDAYS

5 REASONS TO COME TO MOF004

This Friday welcomes another world-beating band to Newcastle in the form of CLOCK OPERA, with support from MAMMAL CLUB & WASKERLEY WAY. More details can be found on our MOF004 page. For now, here’s 5 reasons to come along.

1Direction) CLOCK OPERA PLAY THEIR FIRST NORTH EAST HEADLINE SHOW

Officially our favourite new band in the country, this lot are gonna be huge next year. Huw Stephens, Tom Vek, Moshi Moshi, Island Records, the Guardian and SXSW already know this but join this elite bunch in boasting to have seen Clock Opera first.

Check out a video from this month’s sell-out single launch party they held in that London:

2Unlimited) MAMMAL CLUB

If anyone in the North East can match the above hyperbole for Clock Opera it’s Mammal Club. Musically superior to just about every other band, Mammal Club take pop melodies and dramatise them, crafting interlocked mazes of noise that work on many levels.

G3) YOU HAVE TO SEE WASKERLEY WAY

If like Gorilla vs. Bear, This is Fake DIY and just about every other great blog, you thought Waskerley Way was good on record, just wait until you see him live.

With laptop beats, live clarinet, occasional singing, plenty of reverb and just a pinch of refreshing awkwardness, it really is a sight and sound to behold. Here’s a teaser for his new EP:

4Tops) OUR BEAT IS CORRECT DJ SETS

If you’ve enjoyed the Month of Fridays DJ sets so far from JoeGenerator, Let’s Buy Happiness and Young Liar vs. NARC. Radge-off, the fact that we’re handing over to seasoned DJ Tom Cotton (aka Our Beat is Correct) will have you salivating for more indie-pop gems.

The perfect interlude for a night of intelligent glitch-rock.

5ive) WILL MAKE YOU GET DOWN NOW!

We’re giving you all that for just £5. Hardly denting your budget before payday and even you Freshers can afford that.

We’re far too good to you!

Get your advance tickets here and remember to get down nice and early for another night of cutting edge music. Doors open 8pm.
