SOLDIER BOY is a new clubnight run by the guys from Redjetson, featuring special guest Drowned in Sound djs on the last Thursday of every month playing a mangle of punk-disco, party-folk and epic-indie. Expect to hear some album tracks and beautiful head-spinning songs from bands who’ll never grace the covers of magazines. Plus it’s shots for £1, cheap bottles of Champagne and most things are about £2.50. Come, drink, dance.

ATLANTIC DASH + WE WILL BE PILOTS. Starting at 1.00PM, following Franz Ferdinand’s Carling 24hr, early morning escapades, we’ll be keeping London dancing and singing, with two brilliant live bands and more cheap-drink fuelled indie-disco capers than you can possibly imagine. We then recommend going to Steve Lamacq’s Punk Rock Karaoke upstairs at the Garage (the last one was hilarious) and then onto FROG (www.thisisfrog.com) in the Mean Fiddler to catch The Ordinary Boys and dj sets from Imran from the NME and Artrocker from 11pm.
