Sextape - The Macbeth (25.5.2012)

The team behind Brighton's Sextape nights are at it again, and this time they're bringing their mix of filthy pop, rap and r'n'b to London-town too. Tonight you can dance to sleazy hits at the Green Door Store on their home turf. Our buddy Ben, of Strong Look and Strongbones.FM is part of their core team and is pretty much guaranteed to bring the heat. 

Then, on Friday the resident DJs are joined by our own blogger Neu Things as well as Ro Sham Beau, Bird-Watch and Chris Cuff (of the epic Family Ltd music PR company). It's going down at The Macbeth in Hoxton and is 100% free entry all night (cos they love us that much).

Listen to the great mix the Sextape team put together to get yourself in the mood, then head to their the Facebook event to make any requests before body-popping to your heart's delight in the club. There's still time!

Follow team Sextape on Tumblr and Twitter to keep up with their slightly NSFW posts and party announcements. We are very excited about this one.

New Look at Sticky Mike's Frog Bar (Brighton, 4.10.2011)

If any of our lovely Brightonian Deer Brainers are at a loose end tomorrow, this is where you should be. The masterminds at Strong Look are putting together an absolutely killer night at Sticky Mike's Frog Bar (formerly Jam, on Middle Street). In all seriousness, we're considering going down from London for the night.

New Look - Nap On the Bow by New Look

First off, brand new Canadian, NYC-based band New Look will be headlining one of their first ever UK gigs. Already given praise by Cascine Records' founder and the Guardian New Band of the Day list, their brand of slick, futuristic pop will no doubt seduce your ears as it did ours. Vocalist Anneka will be opening for them too.

Then the night descends into the nineties time-machine that is I Hate Myself And Want To Party. The night's been given the spotlight in the Guardian Guide's clubbing here.

Don't be kicking yourself when New Look blow up and you're all like 'oh man, I could've seen them for a fiver but stayed in watching Made In Chelsea on 4od'.
