About Me

WRONG noun: that which is contrary to the principles of justice or law (Example: "He feels that you are in the wrong") verb: treat unjustly; do wrong to
POP noun: music of general appeal to teenagers; a bland watered-down version of rock'n'roll with more rhythm and harmony and an emphasis on romantic love verb: fire a weapon with a loud explosive noise (Example: "The soldiers were popping")
WRONGPOP ?!?! : a blatant unorganised attempt at bringing down the modern mores of todays music. a shit hot monthly night at fat cats.
wrongpop doesn't care about trends and cliques, gigs are put on once a month for the love of music and friends and nothing else.
wrongpop makes no profit whatsoever, all money made after paying for the night goes straight to the bands.
wrongpop won't put a goody bag in your hand on the door and pat you on the head, or accept money for sponsorship - the people who come to the gigs pay for the night, and a damn fine night they have too!£3/£4 for 3/4 bands, once a month.
wrongpop makes mothers cry tears of joy and fathers clench their fists with pride.
