Two things to do today

Darklight is on right now folks as well as all the many highlights, pay particular attention to the events curated by Underground detailed here. Alongside the showing of rare music documentaries Last Night of The Funnel, The Stars Are Underground and Shellshock Rock, Underground are running an exhibition in the basement of Road on Fade street focusing on the changes of independent music over the last 15 years. Get down to the launch at 6.30pm for a STREET PARTY in Fade St with music from Mici Durnin (Maximum Joy) & David Beattie.

Also, MP3Hugger has tired of promoting unsigned artists and seeing them get no just monetary rewards so he decided to curate an indie compilation called Indiecater. The idea was “to gather 10 unreleased tracks from artists that weren’t getting the exposure their talent deserved“. The artists in question include Storkboy Choons, Michael Knight, Slushco and Cymbals Eat Guitars. Income from the sale of the album will go directly back to the artists involved. You can buy it here.
