Untitled I Sneaky Pete's, 73 Cowgate, Edinburgh, EH1 1JW

Hello friends of Black Tape.

As you may know, Black Tape is on hiatus for the summer, but in its place is UNTITLED. Run by Andy from Black Tape and Laura from Dogtooth, it’s a new club which is nothing like either of those clubs, yet quite like them at the same time.

Untitled I is Friday 27th June at Henry’s Cellar Bar, Morrison Street, 11pm-3am. £5/4 b4 midnight or students.

We are very excited to have the wonderful Y’all Is Fantasy Island and the equally wonderful Meursault playing live, with DJing from Black Tape and Dogtooth DJs.

Y’all Is Fantasy Island
http://www.myspace.com/yifimusic
“Falkirk’s Y’all is Fantasy Island temper their knowing indie literacy with pretence-free presentation, their faded polaroid confessionals created from with bowed guitar and cold, sepulchral drone.” - Plan B Magazine

Meursault
http://www.myspace.com/meursaulta701
“Riddled with a tenderised charm that cloaks Pennycook’s lyrical brutality, each stool-bound psalm is a mysterious haze of late-night contemplation that scours matters of the heart with the finest melodic tooth-comb, gutting out long-forgotten sins into an open-forum of confession that absolves itself in the audience’s forging eardrums.” - Drowned In Sound

We hope to see you all there.

Black Tape is back after an extended hiatus, and we’ve moved to a great new venue, the recently refurbished Sneaky Pete’s on Cowgate. 5th December will see us belatedly celebrating our 2nd birthday, and we’ve got some very special treats in store for you. We’ll be starting the night with a gig before proceeding with our usual pop club fun, with guest DJs and all the usual treats plus a few more.

Teeside’s The Chapman Family play dark, infectious pop songs about murder, have toured with the likes of We Are Scientists, 80s Matchbox and Reverend and the Makers, as well as receiving plaudits from just about every corner of the alternative music press. In a recent NME feature they were described as ‘gloom-punk masterminds,’ which to us sounds like a most delightful prospect. We’re very excited to have them come and play for us on our first night back; just look at some of the great things that have been said about The Chapman Family:
‘The sound of death itself’ - NME, October 08
‘Venomous and visceral they rupture into a set of dark vivacious rock…theatrical and terrifying performance hypnotizes…a thunderous racket. Unhinged and confrontational…frightening the audience. The Chapman Family are the real thing.’ - Artrocker, May 08
‘Heads down snarling gonzo rock n roll…see them immediately’ - The Fly Magazine, February 08

Support will come from Edinburgh-based Thieves In Suits, who’ve been playing around town at such esteemed nights as Limbo, and have earned the approval of Vic Galloway along the way.
