Don’t Die On My Doorstep

bring back throwaway pop!

About Me

THE INDIEPOP CLUB FOR THE IN-CROWD!
An unassuming club night in Malmö, for people who assume too much. Once a month we will play you the indiepop sounds of today that will be forgotten tomorrow, the fuzzed-out tweepunk of the 90s that you forgot, the janglepop and paisley underground no-hit-wonders of the 80s you just remembered, and the coolest sunshine pop, yé-yé, northern soul and garage-psych of the 60s that you forgot to remember. The Pop Establishment took one look at us and ran. DDOMD makes them forget to remember to forget. Resistance is futile, so get off the bandwagon and get on the merry-go-round!
As usual all news are at Heaven Is Above Your Head . Write to heavensabove at kittymail dot com if you want to get in touch, or sign up to the mailing list here !
Occasionally we have also put on gigs, even though we are not actively looking for bands to book. Who has played so far? Well, nobody less than Scarlet's Well, A Smile and a Ribbon, Harvey Williams, The Icicles, Katie Jennifer Stewart, G.O.O.F. and The Pains of Being Pure At Heart!
