Description

A night celebrating mid-'80s indie as exemplified by the NME's famous C86 cassette tape. The world called them 'shambling' but they did not care.

Opposed to the clean, bland pop sounds of contemporary pop, and influenced by post-punk, The Byrds, Jesus & Mary Chain, and the Velvet Underground, a generation of boys and girls, some of them in paisley shirts with bowl haircuts, picked up their cheap guitars and created a lo-fi word-of-mouth scene of fanzines and fandoms. Creation was built on it and it influenced everyone from Kurt Cobain to Belle and Sebastian to the Riot Grrrl movement.

Tonight at the Cellar, DJs Pete Fij (NEVER STOP + Creation records' ADORABLE) & Caspar Gomez (FREEDOM) will be travelling back in time to take you to C86... and beyond, and they will be joined for this night with a special guest DJ Anne Mari from THE FIELD MICE

Expect Soup Dragons, Close Lobsters, The Loft, Baby Amphetamine, The Weather Prophets, The Pastels, Primal Scream, Jesus & Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Talulah Gosh, BMX Bandits, Motorcycle Boy, We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It, The Field Mice, McCarthy, Biff Bang Pow, The Woodentops, Mighty Mighty, The Primitives, The Pooh Sticks, Half Man Half Biscuit, Stump, The Shop Assistants, Meat Whiplash, The TV Personalities and many, many more makers of jangley, fuzzed, inventive non-hits of indie music's defining period, as well as a sprinkling of other bands pre & post C86 who captured the spirit of the movement (Fire Engines, Orange Juice, Belle & Sebastian etc)
