looks ACE.
I missed it when it was in edinburgh though :(
...
A night of decade-old indie... in Sheffield.
Think of the most scornful attitude it would be possible to adopt and then pretend I said it. I don't have time right now.
it isnt all decade old indie.
absolutely...
yes, I'd hazard a guess that almost half the bands listed above were not yet formed in 1996 (and a fair few others had split up by then!)
i am actually
going to make it to offbeat this year. fo sure.
I live in London
but I am desperate to come, as it looks like the best club ever ever.
you should come to this then
decemberists is the day before i think?
:(
my friends are coming to stay in London. Damn them...
decemberists 2/2
yes, though I think tickets are going pretty fast for the gig - it's only in the small room at the Leadmill so certainly worth buying in advance.
is it?
tht's ridiculous. grrr. i may actually have to get tickets now...
I went to offbeat once
it was fab.
off beater?
is that someone who beats off?
23 beats off?
I want to go.
I think i will.
two beats off?
I love Sheffield
Hope the night goes well....alas I won't be back in my great home town for a couple of months yet.
It is...
This Saturday folks...
