Are Friends Eclectic?

About Me

We are D.J's Krybaby and Mitzi 'O'. Our aim is to bring a whole new alternative night to Manchester's (let's face it) mostly generic scene. There are a few good night's out there but that's not enough. We want a night where we have the freedom to play what we want when we want and not have to answer to boring scenesters and musical purists.WE ARE THE ONLY NIGHT IN MANCHESTER THAT CHANGES FORM EVERY MONTH. WE BRING YOU A DIFFERENT THEME ON EACH NIGHT SO IF YOU LIKE DIFFERENT KINDS OF MUSIC AND ARE BORED OF THE GENERIC MANCHESTER INDIE CLUB SCENE THEN GIVE US A TRY AS YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!WE KNOW OUR MUSIC TOO UNLIKE MOST CLUB PROMOTERS AND WE OPERATE A STRICT ANTI PAY TO PLAY POLICY SO IF YOU..RE IN A BAND AND THINK YOU COULD FIT IN WITH ONE OUR THEMES THEN GIVE US A SHOUT AND WE..LL TRY OUR HARDEST TO SQUUEZE YOU IN!!WE FEEL THAT USING LAPTOPS OR IPODS ETC TO DJ IS QUITE LAZY, IT..S EASY BUT WE THINK THAT PEOPLE COMING TO OUR NIGHTS WANT A BIT OF A PERSONAL TOUCH SO WE DELVE INTO OUR EXTENSIVE VINYL AND CD COLLECTION TO BRING THE GREATEST SELECTION OF TRACKS TO DANCE, POGO AND BOUNCE ABOUT TO!!IF WE HAVEN..T GOT TRACKS THAT WE WANT TO PLAY WE MAY DOWNLOAD THEM THOUGH BUT THERE..S NOWT WRONG WITH THAT IS THERE???WE HAVE A TRUE D.I.Y ETHIC WHICH IS A TERM THAT HAS BEEN OVERUSED BY OTHER PROMOTERS WHO AREN..T REALLY D.I.Y, WE BEIEVE IN THE TRUE UNDERBELLY OF MANCHESTERS MUSIC SCENE AND WE WILL FIGHT IT..S CAUSE TIL THE GRAVE!!!KEEP AN EYE ON OUR PAGE FOR UPDATES ON THE THEME OF THE MONTH AND ON BULLETINS REQUESTING BANDS/PERFORMERS/DJS ETC.We are on the SECOND FRIDAY of every month and each night is of a different theme (as we have such varied music tastes)Now for the boring bit:Location: Basement of Retro Bar, Sackville Street, Manchester.Time: SECOND FRIDAY of every month, 10pm 'til 2am.Price: £4.00 with a flyer/£5.00 on the door.No dress code (be as trashy as you like) apart from no tracksuits whatsoever, and if one of you slips in I'll personally boot you the fuck out!!!!We have burlesque on every month so keep checking for videos of the performances from some of the North Wests finest gals:Hope to see you some time soon! x
