SoundsXP Message Boards - Indie, Indiepop, Nu-Folk and Alt-Country Forums

We're very pleased to announce that this Friday we're holding another of our occasional C86 Specials at the Canterbury Arms in Brixton. We'll be playing lots and lots of jangly indiepop, focussing chiefly on 1986 and 1987, but also taking in gems from 1981 to 1989. So roughly Postcard and Cherry Red to Creation and Sarah. Or to put it another way, the likes of:

Another Sunny Day * The Bodines * The Brilliant Corners * The Close Lobsters * The Clouds * The Corn Dollies * The Farmer's Boys * The Flatmates * The Field Mice * The Go Betweens * The Groove Farm * The Haywains * The Hit Parade * The House Of Love * The Housemartins * James Dean Driving Experience * The Jasmine Minks * The June Brides * Kitchens Of Distinction * The Loft * McCarthy * Monochrome Set * The Motorcycle Boy * My Bloody Valentine * Orange Juice * The Orchids * The Pooh Sticks * Primal Scream * The Primitives * The Sea Urchins * The Shop Assistants * The Siddeleys * Strawberry Switchblade * The Trashcan Sinatras * The Wake * The Waltones * The Wolfhounds * 14 Iced Bears

Our guest DJs are Sandy and Karren of Stolen Wine Social and Matthew of Big Pink Cake and The Fireworks. We'll be taking it in turns to do 30 min sets each, just to keep the night fresh and bright and on its toes.

We'll also be having a mini record fair, selling C86 vinyl. If you have any vinyl gems you'd like to sell at the night, just get in touch. It's free to have a table. We just have one stall confirmed so far, but it looks amazing. Mark says he'll be selling:

"Stuff on Creation, El and Sarah Records. Felt/Go-Betweens/Hurrah!/Dentists/McCarthy/Bodines/Jasmine Minks/Josef K/Fire Engines/JAMC/Waltones/Trixies/Pastels/Shoppies/Razorcuts/Orange Juice/Weddies etc.
Maybe some original fanzines...Are You Scared To Get Happy/Caff(Bob Stanley)/Bereznik/The Legend."
