Modern Life is....................... brilliant!

A night not to be missed...Can't wait!!!!

Bit Brighton Beachy innit?

hi Mecky
Never been to Brighton Beach so I wouldn't know, but I do see some of their leafletters outside the club on occasions

all the best.........

Don't know if you realise Mecky but this is not a new night, it has in fact been going nearly a year at DQ and for a few years prior to that at other Sheffield venues...
Mod For It celebrate all things Mod etc as do hundreds if not thousands of nights across the country so originality is not the issue it's about putting on the best quality night and playing the best music and as the venue is usually packed to near capacity we regulars obviously agree that Mod For It does just that! As far as I am aware also they are expanding their nights to other locations as opposed to closing them (Leicester-Brighton Beach etc) I for one will definetely be there! KTF

It's a good night!

Get The Esquire on!!

Whats is/are The Esquire---it used to be a club above The Leadmill in th 60ts

and they're playing the music from the club!

7 piece fronted by Joel White (Pulp, Richard Hawley, Finlay Quaye), best mod band in town!

...you can get discounted entry tickets for this event by visiting the prebar @ Bar 23, West One Sheffield and asking the DJ for the vouchers.

8pm - midnight

been before and its an excellent night

Thanks Stef, due to the massive success of 'Mod for it' last year, the owners of DQ have asked us to go weekly rather than monthly from this September.

Hope to see you there again.

Hmmm...

The Esquire band look quite good!!

'mod by numbers' sounds better

i am sure plenty have a great night though. it's just that i thought mod meant being at the sharp end of all things happening. this just looks like a supermarket compliation cd if you know what i mean.

ah well. i don't know why i would be bothered. just an observation really.

have fun folks but remember to dig deeper if you like what you are hearing. hopefully, some of the young guns will return with something more credible in a few years time.

well I constantly have this same debate;

To old lags (presumably) like me and you, hearing for example 'Needle in a Haystack' for the umpteenth time may appear repetitive

but to a young 18 year old hearing this music for the first time this music is exciting and that's who the Mod for it crowd are, young fresh faced and have not yet fallen into cynicism.

These youngsters are coming up to the Dj's and asking who the artistes that they are playing are, it's new to them.

Yes maybe not entirely knowledgeable (yet) but a very nice crowd.

Hi Shane

Just thought I would clarify, The track listing on here is supposed to appeal to the masses as it is looked at by a broad spectrum of the Sheffield population.
As a Mod I can assure you that the night also caters for the more astute musical tastes and mixed in with the more commercial stuff you will hear some of the rarest R&B from the early 60's as well as plenty of Northern gems, rare sould from Stax, Chess, Sue etc..alongside the Kinks and Small Faces you will also hear the Birds, The Attack, The Action, The Creation, Yardbirds etc and plenty of real Mod Soul/R&B classics from the 60's Modscene a sprinkling of the lesser known revival stuff and importantly new bands like The Moons, The Sons, The Shoestrung and The Rifles who are new fresh, cutting edge and Mod influenced....So whilst there is a definite commercial side to the night to appeal to people new to the music you can also hear plenty of the lesser known classics...why not get yourself down, you never know you might like it!

and er.....Quadrophenia is on toneet ITV 4...........

wish you well fellas.

20 years ago i would have loved this.

cheers Shane...

Our aim now is to get you to come!

all the best
