Indie Smindie 🎸

From Brit Pop to Post Punk, New Wave to Pop Rock, INDIE SMINDIE is here for all of your Indie Disco needs.

Tor Da Force (We Broke Free / Baesic) will be playing off centre hits from the past 70 years, at slightly jaunty angles. From festival fields (Glastonbury / Boomtown / Camp Bestival / Wilderness) to massive Indie Club nights (Propaganda / Motion / Queen of Hoxton / The Book Club) there's rarely a stage that she's not thrown shapes on.

Joe G (We Broke Free) playing all the guitars, is a big fan of Wunderhorse so we made this poster for him.

Expect to hear:

Oasis // Blur // Pulp / The Last Dinner Party // The Libertines // Sam Fender // The Strokes // Arctic Monkeys // The Killers // Kings of Leon // English Teacher // Bombay Bicycle Club // Catfish and the Bottlemen // The Wombats // The K's // Fontaines DC // IDLES // Two Door Cinema Club // Blink 182 // Arcade Fire // The Cribs // Bloc Party // The Futureheads // MGMT // Hot Chip // The Maccabees // Interpol // Jamie T // Yeah Yeah Yeahs // The Hives // Razorlight // Babyshambles // Kasabian // The Vines // The Walkmen // Courtney Barnett // Kaiser Chiefs // Modest Mouse // Foals // The White Stripes // The Kooks // The Wombats // The View // Confidence Man // Franz Ferdinand // Vampire Weekend // The Rapture // The Coral // The Fratellis // The Postal Service // LCD Soundsystem // Metronomy // Empire of the Sun // The Smiths //The Gossip // Sam Fender // Inhaler // MIA // The Cure // David Bowie

& many more, we take requests all night. No fuss, no frills. Let's Dance.
