HAPPY HUW YEAR - FRIDAY 22ND JAN

Frankie and the Heartstrings - Live
Swanton Bombs - Live
Islet - Live
Huw Stephens (DJ set)
Starting 2010 as he means to go on, Radio 1 new music DJ Huw Stephens brings the noise with three excellent new bands on this exclusive tour. Frankie and the Heartstrings are the Sunderland band who are turning heads and melting hearts with their debut single on the legendary Rough Trade label and a batch of live shows so wonderful they’ve rightly been tipped for huge things in 2010. Swanton Bombs release their debut album in the New Year after two limited edition singles and a tour with friends Girls. Cardiff’s Islet are one of the 2010’s must-see live bands. Their blend of mesmeric psychedelia has made them ones to watch in the NME and earned them a Radio 1 session.

Free Entry | 22.00 – 03.00

Adventures In The Beetroot Field Vs NO FUN

The Invisible Live / Colours Live / Katie Dane (NO FUN dj set)

Stuff We Like : The XX + Saam Farahmand

Every now and again we’ll post something that isn’t strictly to do with Sixty Million Postcards, but that we just liked and decided to share with you. Here’s an image from artist Saam Farahmand’s installation interpretation of The XX album. We love the album and you can read a review of this exhibition on the link below. Shaam says of the project “Music videos are a 2D visual interpretation of a song… We are interested in creating spaces that exist as a 3D physical interpretation of a song or an album, and that is what we have created for the album xx”.

Remember to come and catch XX member / remixer and forward thinking DJ in his own right at Postcards on March 13th. It’ll be a good one.

You can see his latest work on the cover of our February flyer downloadable on from this page. We’ll be uploading all our artwork into the art section of this blog so you can print it off and pass it off as your own work as you see fit, just kidding. In the meantime Jo has just finished working on a huge new mural down the side of Sixty Million Postcards so go and check it out.

Come dressed in your most multi-coloured square-tastic finery - don’t forget to mix it up like a Sir Mixalot megamix - we’re talking red and yellow and pink and green and orange and purple and blue… As every time that klaxon sounds you have to remove an item and swap it with the person next to you.

So… by the end of the night you are rockin’ it in one colour and one colour only.

Sounds simple? Sounds Messy? Sounds like a plan.
