Ouch, it hurts. Last night Sheffield celebrated DiS' Eighth Birthday with probably our strongest DiScover bill yet: The Week That Was, Cats In Paris and Champion Kickboxer all doing us proud and providing a night of wonderful, ethereal pop. Special mention to Cats In Paris who were delayed on the motorway, arrived at the venue seconds before stage-time and still managed to turn in a jaw-dropping performance. Mad props, too, to Champion Kickboxer (who continue to astound live) and The Week That Was, our best headliner yet according to many of the DiScover faithful. Can Dananananakyroyd claim the title for themselves next month? Be there to find out.

We're going to do it all again tonight, remember, with Wild Beasts at The Deaf Institute in Manchester - your last chance to wish DiS many happy returns. See you at the bar!

DiScuss: were you there last night? Did you enjoy it as much as we did? Going to Wild Beasts tonight? How many tequilas is too many?
