Early birds at this Friday's end-of-summer DiS bash at London's Monto Water Rats (yes, we know summer's only just started... sorry) will be treated to the sounds of up-and-coming Londoners Hot Rocket (pictured), who have been lined up to open proceedings.

The band are late additions to a bill already bursting with quality. For just £12 advance, the below line-up really is quite the steal!

Russian Circles
Chicago-based trio recently seen supporting Tool. Great responses in the UK so far, and one of DiS's highlights of this year's SXSW. Amazing live - complex yet danceable, like Battles or Foals going metal. (MySpace)

Video! Russian Circles' 'Death Rides A Horse'

Youthmovies
British progressive five-piece whose debut album, Good Nature (working title!), is due for release soon through the DiS label. Truly captivating live. (MySpace)

Video! Youthmovies' 'Ores'

I Was A Cub Scout
Youthful electro-emo two-piece, recently seen winning over the masses at Reading and Leeds. Debut album is in the pipeline, and their new single 'Our Smallest Adventures' is out now. (MySpace)

Video! IWACS's 'Our Smallest Adventures'

Dartz!
From the north-east they come, with angular riffs and hips a swingin'. Already a favourite amongst gig-goers with their ears to the underground, Dartz! are a killer live act who draw upon highlights from their This Is My Ship album with super-quirky skillz. (MySpace)

Video! Dartz!'s 'Once, Twice Again'

Eugene McGuinness
London-based, Ireland-born Eugene is a hugely promising singer-songwriter talent, already much loved in DiS circles. His debut mini-album, The Early Learnings Of..., received a 9/10 slap on the back from us earlier this year, and is a must-have for anyone won over by the likes of Jamie T and Fionn Regan. (MySpace)

Video! Eugene McGuinness' 'Monsters Under The Bed'

Plus, of course, Hot Rocket. MySpace here. Also: sets from DiS DJs and DJs from Kerrang! and Rock Sound. Ace-core. Tickets - some still available - are £12 advance and available from HERE. Doors are at 7, and everything stops at 2am.


I suppose this is as good a place as any to ask;

why don't DiS articles get dated?


How do you mean?

Like, with a date at the top?
Click through the news section and they do.


Yeah that's what I meant,

wish they had a date at the top of each article though.

I think it would make my year.


What time are Russian Circles going to be on?

Need to work out how to get home....


They will be done and dusted

in time for Tubes, etc.


Cool

Cheers!


I am going to this

What should I do afterwards, oh londoners??


well we're going on 'til 2

you could then slink off to Fabric and hope that MIA has over run by an hour or so and dance 'til 6am.


my boyfriend is in the IWACS

video! :D

See everyone there on friday


I was

going to come to this...then I got a Sonic Youth ticket. So no dice! Sadly, as this does look pretty fupping awesome, yes!
