Unskinny Bop

A disco in London for fat fags and krispy queers

About Me

UNSKINNY BOP
"all the songs sound like Hey Mickey, but they won't actually play Hey Mickey!" (frustrated guest in the ladies toilets at Unskinny Bop, May 06)
We are a monthly disco happening in London, England at the Star of Bethnal Green (the venue formerly known as The Pleasure Unit) 359 Bethnal Green Road, E2 6LG. Next Bop is Saturday 19th April and on the third Saturday of the month thereafter.
We are also going to be hosting a disco as part of this year's Ladyfest London (going back to our roots!).
We love the Aloud, Cansei De Ser Sexy, The Gossip, Jonathan Richman, Dolly Parton and Elvis and Missy and Devo and Jay-Z and 60s mod music and girl groups and Le Tigre and Zombina & the Skeletones, X-Ray Spex, Prince, B-52'S, Jilted John, Lesbo Pig, Shangri-Las, Sleater-Kinney, Talulah Gosh, Michael Jackson, The Blow, Tegan and Sara etc.

Please note: we will only be accepting band adds from bands who we already know and like. Sorry about that.
