ABOUT
All this started in 2007 - since then we've have DJ’ed for Iggy and the Stooges, been described by Clint Boon as “the most important thing to happen in music… since the Sex Pistols came to the Free Trade Hall”, put on monthly gigs Zavvi, taken over a warehouse for their monthly under18 club-night, put on gigs with bands like Foals and Cajun Dance Party, been booked to DJ by Tricky, been featured on Steve Lamacq, Sound and Orange Act Unsigned.
This Summer we DJ'd at Kendal Calling, Secret Garden Party, Dockville and for two nights at an old cinema for a couple of unforgettable Charlatans gigs
We also did two gigs with Mystery Jets, Esser, Televised Crimewave and Tim Burgess as part of Manchester International Festival. Ellery Roberts has made a film of it called Free Four Seven Zero Nine - we're waiting for clearance on the soundtrack but here's a sneak preview
