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.

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

Love Highsoc x

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!

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!)
