About Me
PRETTY IN PINK is a retro club night in central London at The Fly on New Oxford Street..on the 3rd FRIDAY of each month from 10pm-2am
We play the best bits of the late 70s and the 80s, plus occasional surprises from other years, on two floors. Both floors are quite different, but you'll probably hear certain 'new wave' bands upstairs and downstairs, e.g.
DAVID BOWIE, SMITHS, CURE, BLONDIE, PSYCHEDELIC FURS, SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES, IGGY POP, JOY DIVISION / NEW ORDER, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, SISTERS OF MERCY, SIMPLE MINDS, TALKING HEADS, PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED, ALTERED IMAGES, ASSOCIATES, etc
Downstairs in the basement, we mix these up with the best alternative/glam-friendly new romanticism, pop, dance and rock, such as...
DURAN DURAN, HUMAN LEAGUE, JAPAN, DEPECHE MODE, PET SHOP BOYS, MADONNA, PRINCE, SOFT CELL, CULT, GUNS N' ROSES, ADAM & THE ANTS, SPECIALS, SPARKS, DONNA SUMMER, CHIC, ABC, JAM, TRANSVISION VAMP, A-HA, VISAGE, OMD, BAUHAUS, ROXY MUSIC, etc
(Notice the deliberate lack of cheese!)
And upstairs on the ground floor, we throw in more alternative, indie, punk and post-punk, including the likes of...
PIXIES, FALL, MAGAZINE, RAMONES, SONIC YOUTH, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, WIRE, WEDDING PRESENT, ORANGE JUICE, GANG OF FOUR, PATTI SMITH, TELEVISION, GO-BETWEENS, DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS, REPLACEMENTS, NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS, DEVO, etc
