Best night of the year did we hear you say?

With special guests INDICA RITUAL:

Bound to be entertaining, we’ve been looking forward to seeing this band for some time and they’re bound to get things going on Monday.

And support from Bi-polar Bear.

Plenty of happy people, DJs until 3am, festive decorations, mince pies, SANTA, a mix-cd swap and the chance to get snapped by one of the attendees from PhotoSoc!

Doors are @ 8.30, £2.50 with your highsoc card.

@ The Hand & Heart. Cave-gig anyone?

Meetups beforehand on campus - Derby Hall, Broadgate Park (outside londis), Jubilee campus (by cash machines) @ 7pm

Naturally, we want to meet you all in the coming week (SEE BELOW), and we’re going to make that as easy as possible, by offering meet-ups before the events. These are going to be at Derby Hall (either outside or in the bar), Broadgate (outside Londis) and Jubilee Campus (by the cash machine at the main entrance). Giving you little excuse. Be prepared to catch a bus into town, for which you’ll probably need about £1.50 in change.

The times are as follows:

Monday 7:30 pm
Tuesday 7:30 pm
Wednesday 8:00 pm
Thursday 7:30 pm
Friday 7:00 pm
Saturday Alternative tour 1:00 pm
Islands gig 7: 30 pm
Stealth Vs Rescued 9:00 pm

Hope to see you there.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the online home of High Society, Nottingham University’s Indie and Alternative music society. Hope your year is starting nicely. We are slogging away at Fresher’s Fayre from the 23rd to the 25th. Please come and visit us to lift our spirits!

We have discounts for the coming year - our card promises you:

£4 entry before 12pm for stealth Vs Rescued (usually £6)
10% off at wild and wilder
Electric Banana £1 before 12pm
£1 off door price at Radar
10% off at Kathleen n Lilys
Queue Jump and discount entry to Dive and Fresh out of Death at Market Bar.
Advance-price entry to Damn You! gigs on the door.
Plus discounts and exclusives for all high soc events.

And of course we’ll keep you informed about our events, which are bound to include gigs, clubnights, bar crawls, quizzes, cinema trips, our resurrected ’Quiet Night Out,’ an upcoming ’alternative tour’ of Nottingham and (possibly?) much much more. Worth joining for next week alone? Here’s our lineup for ALTERNATIVE FRESHER’S WEEK 2008!

If you’re left unimpressed by Nottingham’s battleship-sized cheese clubs and hunger for something a bit different, we’ve got a varied diet of gigs, club nights, and heavy socializing opportunities, lined up in our annual Alternative-Fresher’s week.
Monday- the High Society’s legendary indie quiz at the Horn in Hand- Where you get to meet fellow high soc kids and be challenged to our fiendish quiz in order to win some fantastic prizes.

Tuesday- Quiet Night Out- Music, films, games and cake at the Crocus Café.

Wednesday- Electric Banana! (this is a clubnight, as this is not obvious and this pair of unrelated words may not speak for itself)

Thursday- High soc bar crawl were we grace some of Nottingham’s finest purveyors of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and then we’ll end up at the excellent……RADAR, where there will be high soc djs.

Friday- High soc gig at the Hand and Heart Gallery. Lonely Ghosts with support from Wrist.

Saturday- Day, the alternative tour around Nottingham, shops, tea rooms and exhibitions.
Night- Gig, Islands at the Bodega and then if that wasn’t enough Stealth Vs Rescued.

Stay tuned for the poster, as well as details for our on-campus meetups. Meanwhile, feel free to peruse the forums as we bring everything BANG up-to-date! With all the love we can muster - see you soon.

x Highsoc.

This gig is going to be special- and it’s free! Come down from about 8.30 tonight (15/3/08) and enjoy the music (and the cake).

If we don’t see you tonight, then have a very lovely Easter break.

Love Highsoc x

Loads of thanks to everyone who came out drinking with us (it was hard work, we know)! It was great to see you all, we hope a good time was had. But now it’s time to knock that nonsense down the page a bit.

Papier Tigre are an excellent disjointed rock trio from Nantes.

Tigers! are a fourpiece from Leeds, and also probably the most exotic species of all. We’d tell you what to expect if we adequately knew ourselves.

And one more TBC!!! The suspense is killing us too! Although we do sort of know who it is… Details here as soon as we can.

If you like the sound of that, it would naturally be lovely to see you there. The Rose of England is just up the Mansfield Road from the Victoria Centre. Keep well until Friday!

Hello all, we’ve been slack we know but isn’t that customary for January, what with exams and deadlines. We’ve been through hell and back but we promise that we have plenty in store for you all. Firstly, there are rumours of a mini bar-crawl before we head off to Radar to see The Mourning After (we’ll let you know more very soon); a superb band composed of High Soc members; we can’t wait and a great chance to meet up with old faces or come along and meet some new faces! And then we bring you acts such as Papier Tigre and Vialka in February. Go and have a listen if you find yourself wondering what to do after your exams, except from getting slightly inebriated that is (evidence below).
