i get dj a lot at wa1 on weekends
basicly due to demand, in the past few weeks wa1 has had to close its bar downstairs and be placed upstairs where all the live bands and dj ing will take place. so its a bigger venue.
but
down stairs, theres nothing but a few couches and an empty bar, dj area, and dance floor,
this came to my attention
as some of you may kno i have my own nights on every other thursday at wa1 (thepartyprogram) witch runs in conjunction with pirate radio. i play anything that is fit for the night, eg: if a punk band plays, im not gonna but on the latest hit by bloc party am i?. and this works with everything.
but now ive bein handed the vacant downstairs bti in wa1 to do as i will to on friday and saterday nights, yippie!, basicly its gonna be somethign like this...
friday nights at wa1 downstairs will be me dj ing plus maybe a guest, playing stuff from the likes of the futureheads, flaming lips, biffy clyro, idelwild plus newish hits from the likes of maximo park, the rakes, death from above 1979, and not also strearing away from bands like the foo fighters green day radiohead kings of leon,
but again depending on the crowd ill see hwat ill play, it will be very eclective , so i could be playing the subways and the alexisonfire could be the next song. from my chemical romance to the cure.
saterday nights at wa1 downstairs will be more like the saterdays from the old punk night at casis, ran the same way but with more time and a bit more diversity, so all you ol punks will still get there rancid, penywise, dropkicks ect. but there will be sections of lost profits, glassjaw, the used, head automatica, blink 182 all eberythign like that and also stuff from the likes of at the dive in, motion city soundtrack, pretty girls make graves, the yeahyeahyeahs ect.
to write excatly what music i will be playing would be stupid, cos its basicly impossible , there will be a lot a differant songs from what you would say normaly hear at wa1 ( im not gonna go out of my way to play the latest babyshambles song or the killers, thats for upstairs, thsi is somthign differant if you can be arsed listening to that its just more of an option for everyone, in the end i wasnt gonna do what they do upstairs, thats why theres no bands on. they may be some nights where i may be upstairs, like 12th of aug for hondo maclane, oh yeah .
so you get all this, plus a top floor with some killer tunes as well ( no pun intended ) plus live bands every week, great drinks deals, all for a measly 2 pound entery.
this sould all start with in two weeks. ill try and get some prizes sorted out for the opening nights
so if you took time to read this babble then good on ya!
it makes lindsy so happy
viva la rock and roll!
