#JULIASAYS…

Has social media changed the way we club? Dear reader, I suspect many of you may not remember the distant past, when news of club nights spread via word of mouth and the trusty ‘real life’ flyer. Nowadays it’s the trusty notification button that I couldn’t live without! 

We start our weekend at Thrush – in times of TERROR on Friday 11th September where The Yeast London Cabaret collective, spearheaded by Oozing Gloop, are hosting a ‘freakshow exhibiting highlights of the local lowlife’ at The Glory (281 Kingsland Road, E2 8AS) from 8pm until 10pm. The night doesn’t end there, carry on at Freaky Fridays until 2am with the ‘semi-legendary’ Mattmachine Dance Party, music from NYC’s West Village stars Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Paul Dawson (Shortbus) and The Men Who Fell To Earth gang, namely Tony Fletcher.

Over at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern (372 Kennington Lane, SE11 5HY) it’s the Meat Eighteen Launch Party on Friday 11th, 10pm ‘til 4am. Guest DJ the one and only John Sizzle playing with the Meat Boys residents plus special treat Lotus Disco from Saigon flying in to celebrate a night to remember!

Debbie: Back To School is on September 12th at the Resistance Gallery (265 Poyser Street, E2 9RF). They don’t really want to go back to school, so instead they’re having their monthly party with Sina Sparrow, Bitchcakes and guest DJ Jane Dinmore playing the best of everything girl-fronted, plus a star turn performance from Rudi Douglas.

Over at Bloc Bar (18 Kentish Town Road, N1 9NX) in Camden the weekend looks decidedly jolly! Regular nights Friday’s Pop Box! Saturday’s I Take Requests and Sundays ‘Bloc Cap’ Sessions all with special DJ guests and exciting drag performance!

Okay, get ready for something special. Jonny Woo and Band: TRANSFORMER, back from a sellout run at Edinburgh Fringe, are coming to the Soho Theatre (21 Dean Street, W1D 3NE) from Tuesday 15th September to Saturday 19th. This is Jonny Woo’s theatrical rock ‘n’ roll homage to Lou Reed’s seminal album Transformer with special guests including the gorgeous Miss Cairo as Candy Darling, Fi McClusky belting out additional vocals and Jonny channeling Lou Reed himself. Show time 9:45pm.
