Damn You! My town's not got gigs as good as these...
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver November 12th, 2004
Nottingham rocks y'know. If you didn't, how's this for a reminder:

DAMN YOU! KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS
DECEMBER 4th-10th 2004

A week-long streak of gigs featuring LIGHTNING BOLT, JOEYFAT, PRINTS, SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN, BIRDS OF DELAY, JACKIE-O-MOTHERFUCKER, WOLVES! (OF GREECE), SPIN SPIN THE DOGS, SEACHANGE, BURNING MAN, SAINT JOAN, LAST OF THE REAL HARDMEN, DEAN ROBERTS, MODEL FIGHTER, JOHN CHANTLER, HOOVER, LORDS, BULLET UNION and more tbc.

The price for such joy? JUST £20. Yes kids, a week-long pass to all the rock you could ever want costs less than a ticket to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs in Londinium. Really, there's no sense in this world of ours.

The pass will also allow YOU, the wise purchaser of said pass, access to the fantastic Damn You! Record Swap, as well as offering you top prices on booze, a fancy laminated picture thing, and a bunch more jazzy shit.

"WHERE CAN I GET THIS PASS FROM!?" you say. If I were running this, I'd make it a Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket-type affair - you'd have to eat your way through 40 Mars Bars an hour. As it is, just go into Selectadisc in Nottingham, visit Seetickets, or e-mail Damn You! themselves (mnewnham@damnyou.co.uk). Nice. Advance tickets for individual nights can be purchased through the same channels.

So, here's what's shaking:

DAMN YOU! RECORD SWAP
Saturday 4th December
Green's Mill Old School Hall, Windmill Lane, Sneinton, Nottingham
1pm-4pm (maybe beyond)

Everyone has a box of records taking up space in their bedroom. You know, the ones where you tried to branch out into a different form of music then realised that, hey, gabba is where it's at after all and you don't need those poxy Canadian post-rock albums. Well, this is your chance to have a clearout and get some new records in the process! Bring you unwanted records down to The Old School house in Sneinton and trade them with other people. When we say trade, we like the idea of swapping your unwanted record for someone else's unwanted record, meaning there are two less unwanted records in the world! Of course, you may wish to trade records for money, booze or magic beans; it is entirely your choice. Also feel free to bring musical instruments, record players, dansettes, separates, speakers, band t-shirts, badges, music videos and any other related items!
Entry is absolutely FREE. If you want to have a table to swap/sell things then it will cost you £2. This money goes to cover the hire of the Hall and any proceeds after costs will go to Cancer Research. If you don't have enough bits for a full table, feel free to split the cost with a mate. Tables are FREE to anyone who has bought a weekly ticket for Damn You! Know It's Christmas.
We will also have a bit of a bakesale going on, so anyone who wants to bring some nice snacks down will be most welcome!
