Lineup and details
A night for: Homos, Heteros, Lesbos, Don't Knows & Disko Asbos
Friday 1st August 2008
A labyrinth venue with 4 rooms of fun featuring the following music & madcap entertainment:
Room 1 - The Tunnel
Tim Sweeney (Beats In Space / DFA)
Flying in from New York for an exclusive set, we finally get to welcome legend in the making, Tim Sweeney. Tim's prominence as a leader on the music scene has risen with his connections to DFA records and tours with LCD Soundsystem, and not least due to his impeccable and world renowned radio show Beats In Space. Tim constantly unearths great music from the past we have all missed whilst also championing of the best in new music from the underground. Expect and eclectic and energetic set. Warming up for Tim will be our excellent resident Will Tramp! Check Tim's radio show online where you will also find mixes from Horse Meat and Manchester's very own Balearic Mike.

Room 2 - Main Room
Horse Meat Disco
Our good friends Jim Stanton & James Hillard from London's notorious Sunday nighter, Horse Meat Disco, return to Homoelectric to take over the main room with our resident Jamie Bull as a warm up party for the Homoelectric Vs Horse Meat Disco dance-off boat trip at The Electric Elephant festival (Zadar, Croatia) over August Bank Holiday weekend.

Room 3 - The Mineshaft
Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly
A rare DJ set from the caped crusader himself Sam Duckworth, following on from the release of his 2nd critically acclaimed album last March, "Searching For The Hows And Whys". Nominated as Best Solo Artist at The NME Awards, Sam cites influences from Indie and emo music and afar a field as Blur and Lemon Jelly to Billy Bragg and Nitin Sawhney (who both featuring on the album).

Room 4 - The Piano Bar
a cornucopia of quirkiness for queerdos:
Harry & Lou Pickles Experience (Queer Up North / Edinburgh Festival)
The dippy due return with their kitsch capery of quizzes, questions, speed therapy, dance cards and much much more.
Rumours
The girls from the worlds smallest 80's nightclub-in-a-club will be pitching their portable party tent in our piano bar, only 10 in the tee pee at a time, with lots of shoulder pads and backcombed bouffants, a request hotline, and random conga trains throughout the whole club over the night.
Swap Shop
Last month saw unprepared people swapping serious amounts of booze & fags for Bee Gees records and Tina Turner trivia amongst others with Harry & Lou. This time we have invited the monarchs of miscellany, Swap Shop, to set up stall. So make sure you bring a bag of unwanted swag for a midnight jumble swap. With sequins and sailor hats you too could find yourself in their fancy dress photo booth.
