Times are hard but dancing ain’t!
4 hours of indie / post-punk / new wave [etc.] music from back in t’day right through to music that hasn’t even been pressed yet! If it’s great and you can dance to it, you’ll hear it at Untitled!
It’s ok if you’ve spent all your pennies on Christmas presents – Untitled is still a strictly free-entry club night.
Sneaky Petes is fast becoming known as the best place to catch tomorrow’s biggest bands in the city and this show is no different.
If Deer Tick’s new album “Born on Flag Day” is anything to go buy the band will surely be playing much bigger venues very very soon.
A big hit at SXSW, Austin Texas’s very own Ringo Deathstarr are heading to the UK for the first time and we are psyched to have them!
“this takes the beautiful noise of prime period Sonic Youth and early Jesus and Mary Chain and marries it to the sounds of My Bloody Valentine and early Ride, and creates something wonderfully new in the process.”
@ 17 Seconds
“Ringo Deathstarr are one of the most exciting new discoveries in years and, should the nu-gaze scene come to fruition as it keeps on threatening to do, they’ll be heading it up.” Culture Deluxe – ‘Single of the Week’
“It’s music to be played loud – really, really fucking loud, so that it all just shakes its way through your skeleton as you stand there trembling slightly and wondering if music this loud is actually physically safe. Ah, fuck the neighbours.”
@ Song, by Toad
Talented avant-noiseniks Super Adventure Club return to Sneaky’s following their sellout Oxjam show in October. Armed with blazing tunes, bile and banter they set every stage alight.
THIS WEEK: VICTOR Q (Dubstep) + JAK-IT & SAIZME (Electro)
FREE ENTRY
DRUMS OF DEATH blew the roof off last year, perhaps the first really spectacular show we put on.
Well he’s back, having torn up clubs worldwide in the meantime, and it’s gonna be intense…

At the end of 2008 Glasgow’s Colin Bailey awoke from a voodoo curse to find his heart had been torn from his body by a Haitian warlord and replaced with a beating drum machine. He channelled his 808 fury into a debut EP that enabled him to burst out of Greco-Roman’s sonic wrestling ring amid a frenzy of hype and ravage the world of the mortals with his unique zombi swamp-rave for the next 12 months as DRUMS OF DEATH, touring with Hot Chip, Greco-Roman Soundsystem and Peaches. And a LOT of facepaint.
An eclectically excellent night of analogue electronics, hip-hop, anti-folk and odd pop, featuring artists from Crystal Wish Records and beyond.
It’s been five years since the fledgeling Pins And Needles was found, laying in a basket, by staff outside the Red Vodka Club in Edinburgh’s Cowgate. The staff took them in, gave them some soup and tried to keep them from breaking everything that they touched. In return, like the grateful children that they are, they brought all their friends round, played their records too loud and generally acted up at the slightest encouragement.
In that time they’ve seen the venue name change, seen the staff (and their own personnel) change, they even survived their adolescent “wearing nothing but black” phase and now find themselves all grown up and still playing in a club that they love, with a sound system that they’ve consistently failed to break, and with an even wider choice of noisemaking suspects to help them try.
The past 12 months saw the shift towards live music as the mainstay of their nights, with artists like Den Haan, JakeOne, John Hospital, Findo Gask and Morphamish all turning in blinders, so the guys are celebrating their 5th birthday – and the last Pins And Needles of the year – by taking the whole night for themselves, by eating far too much cake, and probably ending up being told that they’re not too old to be sent to their room, expect tantrums…
Disco, House, Techno, Breaks, Electronica… from the underground!
*sorry but this show has been postponed – soon to be rescheduled*
Futuristic Retro Champions are all about hooks, harmonies, melodies and choruses that you’ll be humming the next day. With an unashamed love of pop ranging from The Shangri-La’s to Girls Aloud, with everything including Blondie and The Vaselines in between, they are always fun live.
