BIG PINK CAKE

About Me

Big Pink Cake is a club in Bristol dedicated to playing classic and new indiepop, 60's girl groups, the poppier moments of punk, Motown and soul.

Big Pink Cake is an event with special guest djs from the indiepop world past and present. Our guest djs so far have included Johnny Brown (The Band of Holy Joy), Martin Whitehead (The Flatmates/The Subway Organisation), Rocker (The Flatmates/The Rosehips/dandelionradio.com), Gregory Webster (Razorcuts/Sportique), Clare Wadd (Sarah Records), Scott and Richy (Secret Shine), Jonny Collins (Modesty Blaise), John and Dave (The Hi-Life Companion). This year we're also putting on indiepop bands and have some interesting ideas up our sleeves, to make 2008 a bit of an adventure! So keep your eyes peeled for all forth coming events.
We're really proud to have presented Vic Godard and Subway Sect, Electrophonvintage, The Hi-Life Companion, Amida, Horowitz and The Kick Inside. Each band has been like a dream come true and when we put them on, it all becomes clear and we know why we do the things we do.
Big Pink Cake recognizes how indiepop is forever changing and we love the sound of what's fresh and new. However, we also realize the importance of the past and want to celebrate all things pop that have shaped our todays and tomorrows.
