Conceited

About Me

Hello! We are an indie pop/rock/electro gig night that takes place at The Pleasure Unit - Bethnal Green, London - every three months. Since our humble early days in 2005, we have promoted acts from all over the country like MJ Hibbett and The Validators, The Gresham Flyers, The Lost Levels, Josh Weller, Strange Idols and Champion Kickboxer - and we had lots of fun in the process. But Conceited is not just about live music, we also enjoy different DJ sets in between and after the bands, for a solid 6 hour music extravaganza. And if the occasion is right, you can even stuff your face with cakes! :)If you are interested in playing for us, drop us an email with some details about your band and we will get back asap. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please click on our contact page at www.strangefascination.co.uk Cheers Lizzie xx
