This Friday - Broken Records play live Sneaky Pete's, 73 Cowgate, Edinburgh, EH1 1JW

This month is rather special for us. Not only are we out of the strange time for clubs that was ’summer’ but Black tape has its first ever band playing!

Broken Records are our favurite band in Edinburgh, and we are honoured and very excited to have them play for us. They are genuinely amazing, please come down, even if it is only to see this band. Check them here - http://www.myspace.com/brokenrecordsedinburgh

After there unfortunate last minute cancellation last month, we also have Cannonballs playing a fine selection of electro and such like for your enjoyment. Find them here - http://www.myspace.com/thecannonnballs and listen to their rather fine CSS remix.

On top of all this, we have the final (for now) appreance of our lovely Usherettes, who will no doubt be confounding us with their rather odd choice of tunes to play, and the even more strange dancefloor reaction to said tunes. they will also be serving up the usual selection of sweets and cake, and we will definitely have plenty of battenburg, as Broken Records have specifically asked for it.

The usual selection of random guest DJs will also be playing.

We are really, really excited about this night, and we hope to see you there to share our glee.

Black Tape is coming to an end. It’s been a messy, chaotic and amazingly fun two and a half years, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned, and wish Guns ‘n’ Roses had too, it’s to stop before you get shit. So on Friday 5th June, we’ll hold our last ever club night.

It will feature 3 great bands from Bonnie Scotland, followed by a dance party in which we and all our friends will play our favourite records, and the aforementioned mess, chaos and fun will ensue.

Playing live for us will be the quite brilliant MITCHELL MUSEUM, along with Stonehaven’s finest, the wonderful COPY HAHO, and to launch their forthcoming second album on Bella Union, MY LATEST NOVEL.

Yes, we did a little wee too. It’s a rather formidable lineup, and you’d probably be wise to join us at Sneaky Pete’s for the occasion.

Indie / electro / punk / soul / dance / hip hop / blah blah blah

We are giving half-hour DJ slots to anyone that wants one - providing you can make an impression and make people dance. If YOU want to DJ at Black Tape, please with a sample list of tunes you might play.
