Nursing Home

Yes, this is the one everyone’s been waiting for… For one night only you may think you’ve stumbled into Sankeys or one of those clubs that tries to make itself sound sexy by having a decadent trashy name and a playlist full of European electro bands you’ve never heard of. Yes, we have a proper pop star from foreign parts coming to play records for us. The Knife have been tearing up dancefloors for a couple of years now and we’re sure you’ll have thrown some shapes to "Heartbeats" before now. We’re not expecting gorilla costumes this time round, but Olof is flying into the country specially to DJ for us, so expect him to have made the effort. And of course we’d like the cowd to do the same…
But don’t worry we haven’t forgotten you guitar loving kids, for you we have a band travelling up from London – The New Shapes. These are doing it their way and getting acclaim from XFM (that’s radio down south readers) NME and a million internet people along the way.
But don’t think we’ve forgotten that there’s plenty of Manchester talent out there, oh no… Local band Nursing Home are an Indigo band in the classic sense, they’ve invited comparisons to Pavement, Teenage Fanclub and Elliot Smith. Now while we may not disco down to bands like that too often these days, it doesn’t they don’t still bring a smile to our faces. So, suffice to say, we have high hopes for this lot.

Downstairs, Kiss My Haç will be inventing new genres, probably including: BounceyCastleBass, BleepBleepRiddimz and GlitchPop. Plus some records you may have actually heard before played by DJs National Forest, Mildred Hubble, David Crayon and One BPM.
