If you've ever fancied giving Albarn, Ditto, Curtis, Cocker, Kapranos and the like a run for their money by fronting your own indie band, then Indieoke is the place to do it; our AMAZING live band will take to the stage and belt out the indie classics for your pleasure, while you, the REAL stars, take turns in fronting the group.

Songs include, There She Goes, Take Me Out, Common People, Panic, Where’s Me Jumper?, 7 Nation Army, Hounds Of Love, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Buddy Holly and many more.

This month we have Francobollo as our guest band!.

These dirty little Swedish scoundrel rockers come all the way from Sweden. A place full of beautiful people, some of the finest up and coming bands we (eARmusic) have heard of late and swede vegetables, the sweetest veg of all. But that's where the sweetness ends. Francobollo like to blend balls out the bath punk rock with their own delicious recipe of chunky live drum samples and some of the dirtiest hooks we can remember hearing. If they were a soup, they'd be some kind of full fat, Campbell's Chunky, meat n root veg combination. None of this noodle or "cream of" nonsense. I'm seeing an off-white, poorly recycled label with bold, black letters on the can. Throw in some heartwarmingly humble lyrics, the guarantee of semi nudity on stage and a sprinkling on synth and you've got yourself a Francobollo band...

After Indieoke we dance until 4 to anything from Beastie Boys to Beyonce, Pet Shop Boys to Pulp and Le Tigre to The Lemonheads.

"What makes Indieoke a touch more special than a night in a booth with only your most tuneless friends and some Franz Ferdinand backing... tracks for company is the fact you get real-life rock'n'roll, with a full band playing behind you, which means you're almost like an actual frontperson, rather than just a drunken showoff with a sweaty lyric sheet.”
- Leonie Cooper, The Guardian Guide

“This sounds like a Friday night well spent”

“Indieoke nights are a blast.”

About Indieoke:

A live band for wannabe indie-rock stars to sing-a-long with then a club night for people who want their MGMT served with PWEI. Mutton salutes the 90s indie scene with gems from the riot grrrl, alternative, Britpop,lo-fi and grunge brigades plus a sprinkling of new dance floor fillers.
