Best start catching up on your sleep in advance...
The Insomniac's Ball returns to London later this year, at the SEOne Club.
The all-nighter - from seven in the evening 'til six the next morning - takes place on the night of November 25. Bands confirmed to appear include:
The Young Knives
White Rose Movement
Dead Disco
Roland Shanks
Rumble Strips
Neils Children
The Blood Arm
Some seventeen bands in total will appear on five stages, and a slew of DJs will play sets through 'til sunrise. Tickets are probably on sale... somewhere.
£4 a bottle last year
according to my mates. They also said it was really badly organised. Hmm.
and it was £4 for a can of stella
it was ridiculous.
The Transgressive fabric night was the same night I seem to remember
and I wanted to go to that, but my mates already had insomniacs tickets. Damn them.
fabric shindig
I went to the Transgressive Fabric thing...It was good but the only problem was not many people had ever been before and spent most of creating traffic and trying to work how to turn on the toilet taps. £3 a beer. Besides do drugs.
I like how
people refer to the first one taking place last year, as it was only in April that it took place. Time flies when you ain't having fun.
Anyway, this is what we thought about it collectively:

the drinks are going to be cheaper this year
so I've heard.
I thought it was very well organised, apart from the drinks prices though. It all seemed to run smoothly, I just didn't have a great time.
I just heard security were wankers
and stuff, but I guess that's given
Looks good
Count me in.
Got any veras?
I went last year..
and somebody had a real go at me for just wearing a t-shirt and jeans and not looking like a scenester wanker.
I thought that was a little harsh.
The last one was crap
far too busy, had no idea where the rooms were, who was in on when and where, and then the drinks.....no free tap water
no free tap water
