It is brought to you by SMS residents Seb Valentine, Benatronic & Diskjo. Expect to hear our own blend of disjointed disco (not disco),minimized to maximized techno-pop, cosmic funk exploration and punk noise art played but louder and longer.
Although not due to kick off properly until later in the year we are tentatively pencilled in for a 'warm-up' session on Saturday 19th July. Please join us, bring all your friends, a bit of pocket money (Entry is free!) and two or three pairs of dancing shoes.
Keep yr eyes on the SMS myspace and blog for more information.
What's this? A hot new weekly night Thursdays at Common. Stop wasting your life. Stop Making Sense. We start at 9 and go on 'till wee hour of 1am.And do it all over again.We'll play the music other clubnights can't or won't. Yeah that's right! and a whole lotta stuff they wish they did.Stop Making Sense: sticking it the 'the man' since the machine stopped raging.
