About Me

Miss-Shapes Anti-Valentines Night
Thursday 14th February
"I love you
blah blah blah
hearts and flowers
yadda yadda yadda
kisses, cupid, etc"
Miss-Shapes has decided, having realized that we fall on Valentine's Day, to stick two fingers up to the sappy day where cupid is meant to draw back his bow and do what??? Force us to spend lots of money on pink things for our loved ones! No! Not us!
We're planning a night where we won't force any romantic cr*p on our lovely crowd. There won't be any romantic tunes, and certainly no "I had the time of my life" Dirty Dancing theme blaring out of the Ghetto sound system. We do promise our usual mix of indie & pop with a few other top tunes we like thrown in for good measure. If you love The Sounds, Jack Penate, the new Rihanna song that we just can't resist playing at the moment plus loads more - but no red roses thrust in your face, Miss-Shapes is the place for music lovers to be.
The walls will be decorated with Anti-Valentine's messages similar to the one at the top of this message and some bitter and twisted gifts for you too...
See you all there soon xx
WHAT IS MISS-SHAPES ABOUT?
Miss-Shapes is about a passion to represent the music we all love; if you're bored of hearing the same sets, tired of never being able to dance to the new bands that rock your world, or frustrated at clubs only playing one type of music, then come and hear a fresh take on it all.
We believe that good music has no genre boundaries. it's about tunes that just make you want to have a great time; the sort of tunes that sound track your life, even if you've never heard them before.
Miss-Shapes operates a gay and lesbian majority door policy. Leave your attitude at home as Miss-Shapes is about friendliness and fun.
