Here’s to the future…
Hello everyone,
Just a quick (and hopefully endearing) message to those who ever read the front page (and don’t just go straight to the forums, no doubt you dare click onto that link, NO!). Anyway, the whole committee would like to say thankyou for your continued support this year. We’ve failed in parts admittedly and hope to rectify this in 2008, so stay with us but we hope you’ll agree that we’ve excelled in other areas. Whilst we don’t want to be too analytical or optimistic, we feel that next year is going to be a very special one for High Society.
We already have 3 amazing shows lined up for February and well, you should acquaint yourselves with the bands because you don’t want to miss out. The first one is at The Rose of England on the 1st February with French quirky rockers Papier Tigre (think Q and Not U, Fugazi), derby rebels Younogodie and a fucking welcome return to Nottingham for the explosive TIGERS!, it’s been too long, it really has! We can’t wait for this one and our lovely friends of Clique Clack will be helping us out with this one!
Then we have French duo Vialka on 18th February who describe themselves as “Turbo Folk Micro-Orchestra” and then, looking further afield, we look forward to hosting the rather marvellous Brooklyn-based freaky-folk collective Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities on the 24th April. Still, if you find yourself dwelling with boredom over the festive period, why not spend some time investigating and listening to the bands, you might be in for a welcome surprise.
Anyway, without further ado, we farewell to 2007 and say hello to 2008. We have planned a whole host of events in the New Year for you, which we will keep under wraps for the time being…perhaps we’ll give them to you as a Christmas present in the next few days…(then again, perhaps not, perhaps we’ll just keeping you in suspense)
Best wishes,
Andy, Liv, Alex, Rob, Chris, Simon, Jo and Charlotte (and all the other helpers, you know who you are!)
