DrownedinSound is delighted to announce details of a one-off Sheffield event. It's on Thursday February 21 at Bungalows and Bears on Devonshire Street, is free and kicks off at 8pm. It's being held in association with Vanity Project, a night curated by Ralph Razor of Razor Stiletto fame. Drowned In Vanity, anyone?

The attractions are thus: Miss Nat Johnson, frontwoman with the recently hiatus-ised Monkey Swallows The Universe, will be making one of her first solo appearances, armed with an acoustic guitar and a clutch of new tunes. DiS has heard them, they're good.

If that wasn't enough, DiS DJs (hi!) will be on the decks all night, serving up a delectable selection of aural pleasures for your feet to shuffle to. Expect to hear anything from Beefheart to Black Kids, Foals to Band Of Horses... and all manner of other stuff. There'll probably be some Pulp, too, and possibly 2 Unlimited if DiS snapper Gary Wolstenholme gets anywhere near the wheels of steel. That or hideous metal. It's up to you, Sheffield DiSsers, to ensure that doesn't happen. By any means necessary. Pints are £1.95 with a B&B regular's card (ask at the bar on weekdays, they're free), so perhaps buy him one of those to keep him busy...

Oh, and remember Mario Kart? Street Fighter? We do too, and we like them a lot. That's why there'll be a SNES set up, with said games, for you to pit your digital wits against each other. There will be fantastic prizes for the winners, and some crappy ones for the losers. It's the taking part that counts, see? We're too good to you lot, we really are.

Add this event to your event calendar

Also: we have a very exciting announcement to make concerning further DiS live activity in the Sheffield region. Keep 'em peeled, folks...


I can't decide if

vicuosly slagging off Gary's music taste in a public forum is unforgivably harsh, or if the fact that you're inciting people to buy him booze more or less makes up for it.


vicuosly, Kate?


Rats

Poor typing ability renders point null and void. I suppose that now makes you free to slag gary off to your heart's content.


It's not harsh

I'm Rob's silent comedy sidekick after all

Everything about that was brilliant

Although, admittedly, my irony gland does seem to be working overtime today.

Aw, go on Rob, don't be a stinge, let Gary at the decks.


Thursday?

For the love of god why Thursday? This means I'll have to either:

a) Go home early on the last train, which would be crushingly disappointing

b) Convince my bankrupt and perennially lame friends to grab a taxi with me, which would be like trying to get a blowjob off the pope

c) Rely on my raw sexual magnetism to find me a place to sleep, which means I'd probably end up waking up in a gutter

d) Stay at home drinking wine and ruing you all

And whichever option I choose I'll have to go to work the next day all hungover and useless!

It's a freaking conspiracy I swear.


brillo

excellent news!


sounds like a good night out

free stuff is good


It will be!

Come on down and say hello.


i shall endeavour to!

see if i can persuade many others to come down too - shouldn't be that difficult


Super

B&B is the best.

And i'll be able to tempt people to go with me with the snes comps.


Woo!

The return of the snes! at least if Gary beats me this time it won't be on my own machine, and i can drink :)

it's been so long since i posted on here i've had to get a new username!


Free = good

B&Bs = ...


£1.95 for a pint

Isn't what I would call expensive for a pub on Division Street.
And it's a pint of Becks too.


This has passed me by.

Thank you.


Sounds like fun!

She did a few of her solo songs last time I saw MSTU. I preferred em when they were just a two piece so I’m quite exited she's gone solo now.


THIS CLASHES WITH

HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT AT THE BOARDWALK... HOW COULD YOU???


What?!

I'll be there but man, half man half biscuit...


I missed MSTU at the uni union before their hiatus.

Quite angry with myself, not going to miss this though.


Hear that?

That's the gauntlet being thrown down.


Street Fighter 2

It is then ;-)
