About Me
Shake It! is a Friday Night Artpop Party, held on the second Friday of every month at Manchester's best alternative venue, the very swanky Star & Garter.
Tired of the city's abundance of swaggering lad-rock clubs, and uninspiring cut-and-paste indie-electro nights, we bring Manchester's discerning club-goers an ever-changing playlist of edgy, noisy, intelligent and - most importantly - danceable alternative music.
Having launched in late 2008, the press we've received has already noted how Shake It! has "quickly established itself as an alternative alternative...keeping an indie aesthetic without succumbing to too much trash or electro pop" (Manchester Evening News).
Picking out the best of the fresh crop and some recent alternative gems, along with a handful of forgotten cult classics, we're always excited to put together a playlist that is both creative and a lot of fun to dance to.
Second Friday of every month 9 'til 2.30
£5/ £4 with a flyer (£5 after midnight)
And because it’s the Star & Garter, there’s cheap doubles all night!
