About Me

Retrotonic is here to bring music from every corner of the scene. So come and join us every month to here good new music for the bargain price of free!You've got feet in your shoes and brains in your head. Take to the streets, hail a Focker, catch the number 42, lasso an elephant, hitch a ride on a winged serpant, jump in a cambodian monkey catapult, ask your Nan if she wants to come.Just follow the sound of those guilty pleasures and downright filthy jingles with a Jack Russell like urge to hump everyone's leg in glee and look forward to dancing on the ceiling (cheers for that pearl Lionel!). We have bands, we have DJs, we have dancing and musical mayhem and mischief. What more could you want? So we'll see all you brainsy and footsy people there then.Jo Retro & Berkatonic
