Free Entry
Two of our favourite ladies in music grace our decks to celebrate the 2nd bank holiday in May. Cocknbullkid has been described as the offspring of Neneh Cherry and Morrissey. That’s pretty spot on. She’s like the Sugababes if they were still good. Watch for her amazing album on Moshi Moshi this year. Miss ‘Mouth Of The South’ Odd Kidd tore Postcards up a couple of years ago with her live show. She’s back with a record bag full of gems. Trust us, these girls know how to throw a proper party. We are literally shaking with excitement!

Late Of The Pier - DJ Set
Yaaard - live
Your Boyfriends Are DJs
Back this year an amazing new single on Erol Alkan’s Phantasy label, Late Of The Pier remain one of the most exciting bands in the world. In fact to quote Mr Boys Noise they are “the best band in the world”. We’re extremely excited to have them come to Bournemouth and play records they’re into and are influenced by. Expect to hear mutant electro, oddball pop and chest beating disco. Bournemouth’s own Yaaard makes beautifully distorted electronica influenced HEALTH, M83 and Ricardo Villalobos. Only £4 / £3 Regulars Cards / NUS.
Here’s a sneak preview of this year’s Field Day line up. From where we’re standing highlights look like downtempo techno maestro Pantha Du Prince and cult heroes Silver Apples. As ever with Field Day it’s a forward thinking kind of line up that grows on you, the more you find out about it. We’ll see you there in August.

Frankie and the Heartstrings - Live Swanton Bombs - Live Islet - Live Huw Stephens (DJ set) Starting 2010 as he means to go on, Radio 1 new music DJ Huw Stephens brings the noise with three excellent new bands on this exclusive tour. Frankie and the Heartstrings are the Sunderland band who are turning heads and melting hearts with their debut single on the legendary Rough Trade label and a batch of live shows so wonderful they’ve rightly been tipped for huge things in 2010. Swanton Bombs release their debut album in the New Year after two limited edition singles and a tour with friends Girls. Cardiff’s Islet are one of the 2010’s must-see live bands. Their blend of mesmeric psychedelia has made them ones to watch in the NME and earned them a Radio 1 session.
Free Entry | 22.00 – 03.00
The Invisible Live / Colours Live / Katie Dane (NO FUN dj set)
