So this Thursday will see the 7th anniversary of vacuous pop promoting shows in Oxford and to celebrate we're putting on two shows this week, more of which below.
It's hard to believe but it was way back in 2002 when we put on our first ever show with the fantastic Canadian band
Kepler &
Meanwhile Back In Communist Russia. Two great bands both of whom are now sadly defunct, although saying that Kepler's drummer is now playing in
Arcade Fire so it's not all bad I guess.
That was only supposed to be a one off to help out some mates with a show for Kepler and 7 years on we're still here, through many ups and downs but still going strong as we continue to bring some of the best bands around to Oxford.
Wednesday is the first of our two shows this week with the wonderful
Klaus Says Buy The Record, new vacuous pop signings
Wise Children and local boys
Ute at The Wheatsheaf.
Then on Saturday our monthly clubnight at The Cellar features
Capillary Action over from the US with a stellar supporting cast of
Friendship,
Ice Sea Dead People & another new vacuous pop signing
Part Dinosaur. Plus vacuous pop and Silent Running DJs with the usual mix of good tunes until the early hours. This will be one big party for sure!
Come and help celebrate our 7th birthday with these two great shows!
I still can't believe it's been 7 years...
cheers
Ady
