Milk the Cow was a much loved clubnight in the late 90's in Newcastle. Starting out life at Newcastle Arts Centre, the night quickly outgrew the venue and moved to a regular fortnightly slot at the legendary Rockshots club in Waterloo Street. Championing a diverse selection of underground music in 2 rooms, no 2 nights were ever the same at a time just before the big corporate highjack of the scene.

Some of the people who played there,socialised there and some who were the subject of strong suggestions of behaviour modification from the legendary diplomatic corps on the door there, have went on to bigger things; setting up their own labels,clubnights and criminal empires with some notoriety.

When Milk the Cow came to an end in 1998,the organisers,luminaries and rent-a-crowd went their seperate ways with some going on to produce infamous clubnights and events in the area such as Fuelled by Hate,Filth,Backlash etc which have left their mark on the scene whereas some decided to 'grow the fuck up',realising they'd shot their bolt to early with the persians and have spent the best part of the last decade shovelling liquified cerrebellum up their cochleas with their decrepit sub-gibbon wank talons, regretting every second of the onset of the earliest quarter-life crisis since Adrian Mole was mugged off by Pandora for being a proper poindexter and/or sucking major league corporate cock for baccy.Trustafarii in excelcius.

People have asked us many times over the years to bring the night back, there's no particular reason why we've decided to do it now 13 years after the fact. It just feels right. What hasn't changed in this time is our shared love and passion for the music and we'll put as much of that into this as we ever have.

As you're all aware Rockshots is sadly not with us anymore and is now just another set of homogeonous MDF identikit hellholes which have afflicted our fair city since the turn of the millenium. We've decided to get as close as we can geographically with a venue that has a similar vibe to 'Shots in 'The Globe' just off Scotswood Road. What swung it for us in all honesty is the fact they've got a quality bugle terrace upstairs for talking shite in like a proper daftys kitchen in Elswick.
