HANG THE DJS
FRIDAY JULY 14
-----------------------------
Oh Moz! A special evening dedicated to the
still-legendary Smiths, featuring their founder members on the wheels of steel!
Ever since they split up in 1988, The Smiths have remained an enigma. Any self-respecting fan of indie, alternative rock and even British pop music owns at least one of their four life-changing, life-affirming albums, each one of them of which should be issued to teenagers the moment they hit 16, such is their importance and relevance, even today. Morrissey may have gone on to enjoy solo success and indeed, hes enjoying something of a cultural career renaissance these days but hes never, ever sounded in better voice nor delivered the same heartfelt, tender yet hysterical lyrics since his Smiths glory days.
This month a film based on the career of the Salford lads is getting a major UK release and their third album The Queen Is Dead, celebrates its 20th Anniversary, which were celebrating tonight with a live/club event which celebrates their music as well as their influence. Guest DJing on the night will be none other than Moz & Marrs old bandmates themselves, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce, who are joined by a host of Smiths-minded live bands.

ANDY ROURKE (THE SMITHS)
