by Kate Price
We’ve got plenty of DiS London, DiS Manchester, DiS whatever sporadically popping up all over the place and now Drowned In Sound is to take over Southampton with a new gig/club night.

We've teamed up with one of Southampton's best alternative nightclubs - Lennons, to bring you a night of ace bands, the best indie/rock/punk/pop/glam/electro/whatever music until 2am and cheap drinks all round. This all kicks off on Monday!

Who’s playing? COLOUR OF FIRE + THE OBJECTS (Formally known as THE DOPPLER EFFECT)

Where? LENNONS NIGHTCLUB, Onslow Road, Southampton.

When? MONDAY 26TH APRIL 2004

How much? £4.00 on the door. Drink prices from £1

How long? 9pm till 2am

What's it all gonna sound like?

**COLOUR OF FIRE**
Sure you've heard plenty about this lot from us already, and probably seen them supporting your favourite bands, as well as on the radio and TV. Their most recent review on DiS reported, "It's [their live set] as exhilarating to watch as it is bewildering and uncomfortable. In the time they've been away, they've beefed up their sound beyond belief. Their trademark stabbing riffs have developed murderous intent; once angular and spiky, now enormous, cannibalistic and vicious, they devour fistfuls of raw Sabbath hooks before tearing bloody chunks out of each other."

For fans of The Icarus Line, Muse, Glassjaw – that kinda thang!

**THE OBJECTS (formally known as The Doppler Effect)**
All of you actually from Southampton or the surrounding area will probably already have heard of these boys, and will more than likely have decided whether you love or loathe them – there really seems to be no in-between. 3 arrogant indie boys with a load of keyboards and a guitar, amazingly kickin’ out the tunes to back up their haircuts. Glammed up, sleazy electro-pop for fans of The Faint, The Cure… with a little bit of Suede thrown in for good measure.

+ Us on the Decks!
Myself and Andy Farley (of DiS fame, not t’other one) will be lighting up the dance floor with lotsa class tunes for your dancing pleasures. And, we PROMISE to make our set a little more imaginative than the bog standard indie/rock night in Southampton… *ahem*. We expect to see you all shakin’ a tail feather until 2am, whence we shall throw you out into the streets until next time.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or are in a band who’d like to take part in future Drowned In Sound events in Southampton, my email address is kp@drownedinsound.com!



New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Ooooh I can't wait! I'll do my best to get wasted before and even more so during, also...

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

you'd better be more cohearent and useful than you were when you dj'd at the rhino or i wont be amused... :)

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Yeah, don't worry. It's not Paddy's night this time. I'll only drink one case of Guinness, promise. :-)

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

i'll go if you promise to play silver sun

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

I could be persuaded to play Lava and/or Golden Skin... you know it makes sense!

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

you're not even irish, you tit.

i feel ill today...

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

I look ill all the time.
I think they spike the beer in the Water Rats with Mr Muscle or something.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

you should try the tequila in lennons... it always seems like such a good idea at the time

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Doesn't Lennons pride itself on its out of date beer though?
I thought that was the only reason anyone ever went there.
Oh, apart from for the NEW DiS NIGHTS, obviously.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

hehe yep that and the cheap rum and tequila. actually it's been taken over since you'd have last been there and turned into one of southamptons best li'l indie/rock spots. ally's been mekkin it good and getting bands there and stuffs. i think it's actually my favourite place to get drunkard in southampton now.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Is DJ Hammy still playing? Cos if he ain't.... um... something.

Also, is Nexus still going?

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

nexus is still there.

went tonight. twas not too bad

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Yeah I went to Nexus last night and for once Keith was playing loads of good music!!! Shock, horror!! Not a kiss-worthy man in sight, mind. Grrr

And yeah Hammy is still around. He does The Rhino on a Wednesday which is probably the most popular all-round alternative night and he also DJ's at The Dorchester on Saturday nights.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Partridge is a legend for showing his face in Rhinos on Wednesday! It was a fun night! Much more drunken fun to be had on Monday - who else is coming? Go on, I DARE you!

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Good luck with it all, d00ds.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

The DJ booth will be doubling as a kissing booth where I shall reward every pretty lookin male who shows their face with muchos kissuls!! *cos obviously, they'll all be desperate to kiss me *cough*

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

I take it we're not DJing at the same time then!

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

yeah i got my hangover in Club Trop a few weeks ago
as in, actually IN there
it hurt so bad
so bad

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Me too. What happened last nigtht? I didn't snog that girl!

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

you looked like a very tall young boy cuddling his mother - twas the way she was so wide you couldnt actually get your arms all the way round her back. ace!

and yeah, i know you didnt now.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

cool but whens there gonna be a massive drowned in sound party in birmingham - loads of quality local bands you can put on = does anyone care about birmingham?!!! ? but so much good music from the likes of snowfield, and silversuit and mr nobody who are very cool. when oh when?

New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Nice one guys, cheers :)

See you there hopefully...

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Hopefully? Hehe - you know it makes sense. ROCK! Oh, and if anyone wants to come to Rhinos this Wednesday (21st) - I'm DJ'ing the cellar bar. It will be a fun night of indie schmindie.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Excellent! will try to get my incredibly busy ass down there, Mr. Farley!

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Andy pointed at some random people and told me one of them was you, but wasnt sure which. And so, I wandered over to a bunch of strangers and went 'WHICH ONE OF YOU IS MOOSEMAN???' neither of them were. I felt very silly indeed.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Yeah, kinda forgot to say - found out i was working that night just as i was on my out. Sorry. Will definitely be at the Colour of Fire DIS thing tho - suddenly my diary looks bearable.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

nice one. will be cool to meet you :)

Kx

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Oh, and thought i ougth to mention i'll be head of Events at SIn next year -hooray for me...
and yeah Kate, it will be great to meet you and Andy

New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Oh, and a shameless plug here - two days after this momentous party, you can have even more fun there - check out www.sinbinge.8m.com or www.sinradio.co.uk

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

we'll be there... but only if you come to ours first!! hehe

Kx

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

Yes, will be there! It will be goooooood!

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON!

..... is the correct answer!

Spread the word!

New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Bath is a hell hole for decent indie nights. Purr is all we have! Now I'm not saying that's rubbish...I worship the place but we need more!

How easy is it to bring the lucrative DiS name to sunny Somerset and please all the indie kids with another nite of rock debauchery per week?

Dean

New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

mmm.... could be a tricky one - i'm from Frome originally, so we could do something at the Cheese and Grain or Moles... I'll have a think....

New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Andy, Kate, give yourselves a big pat on the back - blooming brilliant night - colour of fire were ace! The Objects, however, were a bit weird (Whats up with Southampton bands and their hair?)

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Hey hey! Thank you very much. Glad you had a good night. I thought both bands were absolutely amazing although I think perhaps appealing to slightly different people.

Twas nice to finally meet you, albeit briefly. Sorry, when you came up I was having issues with what to play and how to play it hehe - got the hang of it in the end though!

Will see you tomorrow night then!

@ Lennons Nightclub

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Thank you so much for your kind words! We had a really good night. I agree, Colour of Fire were blooming brilliant. Great songs, perfect execution and boy do they look good. Will see you on Wednesday.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Yeah it was a job well done guys, thank you both :)

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

woohoo! did i speak to you too?

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Hehe... no, I didn't speak to anyone, I was being a bit of a loner actually :)

CoF were good, though - I wasn't really expecting them to be my sort of thing, but they were certainly very tight and I ended up really enjoying their set.

Bring on the next event...

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

rubbish! next time say hello!

Kx

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Wow Smileadelic... we didn't know you were there! Next time you'll have to reveal yourself! Thanks for coming.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Tell you what, you can come along to the SINBINGE! (I'm sorry, i'm on strict orders to shamelessly plug at every opportunity)

New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

great night guys. managed to miss the objects but cof rocked.

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Yep yep, nice to meet you.
Kx

New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

To everyone that came to the SINBINGE, i have to thank you from the bottom of my highly stressed heart. Especially little kp and Andy - you guys might just have prevented me from having the mental breakdown that i was very, very close to last night.
Oh, and if anyone wants to know whats happened with Wry, its a looooonnnggg story

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Awww you did well! It was a good night. Lotsa people there and everything was cool in the end. Twas a shame you seemed too stressed to really enjoy it. It made me really grateful our night went so smoothly!

I'll see you at the next one! x

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Haha... we had fun!! There's something special about a club...random people...live music...and alcohol! Always a winning combination in my eyes. Thanks again James, we will be seeing you very soon! :-)

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Yeah, I think it only takes a reasonably priced bar and some tunes to keep DiS kids happy anyway..

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

whens the next one of these?

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

If you're talking about the DiS nights, we're gonna leave it until after the summer because all the students are going home around now and I'm scared no one would turn up! We'll be launching it as a monthly thing probably in October.

Kx

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

From October you say? Well if I get a place at the Institute I can bring all my band contacts down to help you out if you're ever in a pickle for booking bands. I'm always in Moles of a Thursday and have made many friends who play guitar...and some enemies...but we'll say nothing of that.

What dya think KP?

Dean

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

I thought you were at uni in Bath already? *confused*

I think Andy and I will be able to take care of booking bands ourselves, but thanks for the offer!

Kate x

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Ok then. Might have to set up a rival nite at The Joiners then ;o) I mite change my course to Journalism. I looked at the Institute in the past and after your recommendation of the course through Nat I might just have to bring Purr to Soton for you coast folk to enjoy. We've got Holly Golightly playing soon! Imagine that in Lennons! Any change of heart? I can give you a list...

Hehe!

Dean

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

If you do, keep an eye out for the re-launch of SIN radio - we now have streaming capabilities!!!! - also, leave the diary clear for Friday night, we've got a bit of a party going on - KP, Andy, if you're interested, give me a shout, and i'll have a chat with the guys on the door. (all this will be taking place in the Union)

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

You at the Insititute as well the Moose? What dya study? What year you into? You said you were from Frome right? ... Som many questions ... Hehe!

Dean

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

Sorry, I shall be busy trying to voilate a 17 year old boy on Friday night hehe. Maybe next time...

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

????? (surely biology determines that he does it to you, or is there something that i'm missing here?) Anyway, i'm talking about freshers week (last week of September)

Re: New DiS Night In SOUTHAMPTON! - 26/4/04

haha okay, seducing then :D

remind me about this here party nearer the time, sounds good!

Kx
