About Me


JACKNIFE SCENES:




HELLO! Welcome to the home of Jacknife, putter-onner of ace gigs at its physical, and probably spiritual home: the Pleasure Unit venue, Bethnal Green Road, London.

Jacknife is a night where you'll find sounds so sweet you'll want to put them in your tea and drink them and go, "Ahhhhhh!". There's no musical agenda, just ace bands and lots of them, followed by hours of spanking new indie and dance choons to booze, dance, and generally have fun to. Check the diary for the next show and head on down unless you don't like fun or something.

If you're a band and want to play a Jacknife show add us as a friend and we'll have a listen.

BANDS WHO HAVE PLAYED JACKNIFE SHOWS IN THE PAST: Blood Red Shoes, Shooting At Unarmed Men, Sweet Baboo, Male, Rose Kemp, Tiger Force, Big Joan, Hunting Lodge, The Robot Blues.
