The Noisey Guide To What To Do This Weekend

Last night there was this VICE illustration launch thing, which meant the whole office went out and got trashed until some ungodly hour. I’ve already sent and received a grovelling apology relating to seperate incidents of slurred drunken rudeness.

Anyway, we might take it easy this evening. But you, faceless wage slave with only 48 hours of weekly freedom, should definitely be going out. There’s actually some decent stuff going on too. Here’s a few things worth getting tickets for.

LONDON
Get Me! at the Peckham Palais
Friday

London clubbing is a pretty weird vibe at the moment. There’s loads of really great line-ups and fun parties, but there’s hardly any nights you can go to week-in, week-out and be sure that you’re going to have a great time. Get Me! is one of the good guys, dotting around London on a regular basis, booking a solid line-up of bass producers and party DJs. Tonight they’ve got post-post-dubstep sample freak Dam Mantle playing live and Mr. Wonderful dropping weird analogue electronica from before you had pubes. It goes on till 6am, and we can guarantee

BRIGHTON
Swim Deep and Klaxons at the Corn Exchange (part of The Great Escape 2013)
Tonight

The new pretenders to the weird, druggy, hednonistic, stupid-hair, out-till-11am-every-night prize join forces with the winners of its lifetime achievement award. Lord knows what songs Klaxons are going to play – we’d be fine with Gravity’s Rainbow 29 times in a row – but rumour has it they’re actually going to drop some new material. Hey CSS have a new album out soon too. And we heard Late Of The Pier have cut themselves out of that sack. Nu Rave comeback in 2013? You heard it here first. (Please God no).

COVENTRY
Midlands Chaos with Ghetts and Scorcher
Tomorrow

To be honest we’ve never been to Midlands Chaos before so we can’t say 100% that’ll be amazing but let’s look at the evidence. Scorcher is a top of his game MC and responsible for some of the most jokes funky tunes ever made. And just look at that flyer. Bouncers will be “firm but polite”. Who doesn’t want to find out what that means?

DERBY
OPM at the Hairy Dog
Saturday

I can’t believe I’m writing these words but apparently it’s true. Never mind your Daft Punks and your My Bloody Valentines, the biggest comeback of the decade is happening tomorrow night in Derby. OPM, them of “Heaven Is A Halfpipe” fame are back, and by the looks of things they haven’t aged a day. Obviously, 96% of this show is going to be worse than unbearable but that moment when you can scream “RIGHT NOW ON EARTH I CAN’T DO SHIT” will more than make up for it.
