Pic 'n' Mixx

Event information

Make a mix CD, swap it, watch some bands and have a dance. Wear a cardigan, if you fancy.

You can win CDs made by Frightened Rabbit, Internet Forever, Amelia Fletcher (Talulah Gosh, Heavenly), The Clientele, Pocketbooks, two (TWO!) from Xfm's John Kennedy, Everett True, Luis from Elefant Records, Stairs To Korea, all the bands playing and a selection of other taste-making know-it-alls if you contribute one of your own on the way in.

And we'll know who you are: if you've been lazy, you'll be issued with a sadface stamp at the door. If you've been clever, you'll get a happyface stamp on your hand. Don't be sad!

MJ HIBBETT (solo set) www.myspace.com/mjhibbett
He reminds us of Half Man Half Biscuit, and others have said he's "a middle aged man on a ukulele", and "a lot of fun, all geeky references and wry humour". All true.

GRAVE ARCHITECTS www.myspace.com/thegravearchitects
Signed to the beautiful Fortuna POP! label, Grave Architects have "the offbeat humour of a Jonathon Richman, the kookiness of early Pavement, the tunefulness of Loaded era Velvets, yet very English and eccentric." Wowzers.

THE PERYLS www.myspace.com/theperyls
The Peryls trade in a brand of creaky, sinister pop - dark, lyrical and enchanting. Drawn out from hiding by a need to share their curious findings with the outside world, the Peryls bring you tales of deranged doctors, dancing bears and doomed experiments...

+ DJing 'til 4 from Sean from Feeling Gloomy, with tunes by Los Campesinos!, Pavement, The Smiths, Belle & Sebastian, Talulah Gosh, Heavenly and lots lots more!
