Your Hatters Hostel

Yet Another reason to come to Manchester: New York based indie group Animal Collective together with Danny Perez have released a new album called ODDSAC and it’s not just any kind of album, it’s a visual one. The screenings will take place in The Mint Lounge on on May 14th and there will only be 7 screenings in the UK, three in London, one in Leeds and two in Manchester so this is an exclusive event, folks! The tickets are a mere £8 so pull yourselves together and book your tickets before it’s too late! book here Another tip for you is the Deerhunter gig at Club Academy on the 4th.  I managed to miss him this summer when he played Swedish festival Way Out West but was told it was an amazing show – even if you don’t know the songs- and will definitely not be missing it this time! You can listen to his latest album on Spotify and for those of you who haven’t been blessed with a Spotify account there are some tracks available on his Myspace.

An exciting new club night is coming to our  neighbours the Mint Lounge, right next door to Hilton Chambers and just a stone throw away from the Hatters!

Launch party: Thursday, 28th May.

The night marks the 1st in a series of special events held in Manchester, with a line up that brings both Electronic and Indie music together to showcase  fresh and innovative artists and DJs from across all dance music genres.

Line-up:

The Sunshine Underground (D.J. set)
David E Sugar (D.J. set)
Crystal Fighters (live)
The RGB’s (live)
Mind On Fire D.J.’s

Rather than being just an ordinary club night with a few DJs or a night of live music only SYSTEM brings the two elements together, making the event a mix of both and presenting a fine selection of live bands and DJs.

All of this AND they’ll be backed up with the full Natural Selection Collective including Afrikan Simba, Mark Imani, The Dubside, Forward Ever Selector, Ras Leo Love Up Selector, Exyra Love and more!

They are even helping guests at Hatters and Hilton Chambers to experience the whole thing and get special bonus discounts of 50%. You just need to turn up and show your security voucher from the hostels and they’ll knock half off the bill- yay! more pennies for beers.
