Hey all,

I just started at Sheffield Uni & was wondering what good nights there are for serious music fans!
I don’t know the scene yet – coming from London I’ve been spoilt for choice.

The Grooveharder night on Sunday looks good with Bez, Shaun Ryder & Tony Wilson – I’m a huge Monday/ Stone Roses/ New Order fan!

Any other nights that people would recommend? I love Indie but am also quite a big dance fan! I know about Gatecrasher but I’m looking for some really good Underground nights – not just Student cheesy parties!

I do Spannered at the Earl, we have live bands and 2 rooms of live electronica and DJ's playing breaks DnB and hip hop. Starts at about 9 pm this Saturday and finishes at 2.
£3 on the door

do you like psy trance or hard trance? Planet zogg at ZERO would be up your street if you do!!!!

GC is ace when its on (bank holidays usually), and there are plenty of other little nights to go to.

Whats ur fav music style?

If your looking for underground stuff look out for Transmission, Wasted, jackhammer, Fat Moon, NTA, Cheek,

Cheers Guys!

ScottF - Music I like:

Band wise - Kasabian, Bloc Party, Killers, The Rolling Stones, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Faithless, - really open to most as long as they have good songs (not like some of the crap that's currently big in NME!)

Dance wise - Chemical Bro's, Jacques Lu Cont, Rae & Christian etc.....

u want Urban Gorilla every friday at .Zero.

le cont was on only a few weeks ago, Craig Richards and Freeform five are there this week.

:thumbsup:

could also try noggins www.noggins.info for nrg/hard dance / techno
or planet zogg for your more psychedelic stuff www.planetzogg.co.uk

Damn u just missed lu cont a couple of weeks ago - get yourself down to urban gorilla if u like that kind of stuff tho PM me if ur going and ill buy u a 'welcome to sheffield' pint!!

On the band front we don't really have them coming to play sheffield much (i wish :D ) but the leadmill has nights which play songs by them or there is quite a vibrant music scene, kasbah is good sometimes and there are loads more to go to!!!

Sheffield is over run with bands, I know about 200.

Trap 2 are a great local band!! Don't know if they have a deal yet?

Good to know there's some underground stuff going down though! lOOK FORWARD TO IT!

Good luck finiding ur way kat, might see you around :D :clap:

click the link in my sig for news of Transmission events and other stuff:thumbsup:

If you like Rae and Christian then there is a night called Lights down Low, it is put on by Low Life records....Quality night, great atmosphere. It used to be held at 'Under the Boardwalk' but not sure anymore.
The alternative room in Zogg is cool too

also keep an eye out for shefstock.. lots of local bands, camping, beautiful location. i think there's a fundraiser for it sometime soon.

Welcome to Sheffield Forum Kat!

It's good to have more Indie girls around!

Sadly theres no second room since Zogg moved from the Arches to the one roomed Zero - which is a real shame as it was great to have funky music upstairs as well as 'aving trance/techno downstairs...

It means I dont get to play at Zogg anymore as I dont think Zero is quiet ready for some heavy afrobeat just yet!!

Pin-up @ The Room have Tom Neville playing tonight

I'll be going to that night on Sunday with Shaun Ryder, Bez and everyone - Sounds TOP! Only prob is work on monday morning but screw it - when do we ever get such legends coming to Sheffield on one night!!

See you there Kat!

Cool - see ya there! xx

Eeek, completely forgot about tonight at leadmill.

Those who went any good?

Get to the Grapes any night of the week for live bands, Sheffield has some awesome unsigned bands. Go to www.l2sb.co.uk/forums to see them promote themselves/bicker with each other like children.

I came from London too, its a welcome break to be here and calm down a bit socially (thats why i moved !!) but its hard coz youre so spoilt for choice in London.

Try Razor Stiletto, first Saturday of every month, at Dot Zero on Matilda Street. Plays indie/glam/80s/electro and general cheese. Also normally have a couple of acts/bands on, mostly indie or electro. Fantastic night out :)

www.razor-stiletto.co.uk

Or try Brighton Beach

http://www.brightonbeachclub.co.uk/sheffield/

"The club is split into two rooms: Room 1 pumping out classic sixties hits alongside the cream of British pop and new garage rock, while Room 2 provides a heady cocktail of 60’s soul, northern Jazz and Freakbeat."

Grooveharder Night with Shaun & Bez etc. was WICKED! Wow -what a buzz!
I'm still hungover today tho ;)

Brighton beach sounds cool too - defo - Thanks guys for all the suggestions!

Pauline you said you calmed down when you came here - Hmm I can't quite see that happenin - ah well! CHEERS!

Its all about pin-up then urban gorilla on friday :D :D

Brighton Beach is on THIS FRIDAY. If any peeps here want to go drop me a line and I'll pick up some tix.

We went down to it at the uni for the first time last month and it was pretty damn good. Also got very busy by 12am even though students were away.

Heheheh no I moved away from London coz I HAD to calm down - for financial. health&safety and mental reasons !!!! (slight exaggeration there btw...)

I just mean theres not so much temptation here, which for me is a good thing. I must be getting old <sigh> ;)

Compared to london the amount of nights that sheff has is absolutly scary, but there are still plenty around if u wanna get wrecked!!!
