We made a Spotify playlist with a bunch of our favourite summery songs. Not all of them are dance-y, but all of them will (hopefully) make you think of sunshine and summer fun times <3 

Stolen Wine Social - Summer Songs!

[stolenwinesocial]

Hello! Sorry we haven't been so great at updating the blog. We will try better for next time but here's a tiny little update for now :)

A big belated thank you to everyone who came out to our Where It's At Is Where You Are 7 dj's special. It was great to see so many people there! Thank you to John Jervis, The Losers Club (Colm, Helen and Pierre), Elliot, Jacko and Andre. They were all brilliant and had everyone dancing all night <3 We'll have their sets up soon.

Extra props to the people who did some very fine Morrissey-style dancing/flailing with REAL LIFE ROSES. That was pretty awesome. Maybe we should have some gladioli for next time.

Our next night will be before the summer's up, we're just firming up dates. You can keep up to date with stuff by joining our FB group here (which means we can invite you to events!): http://www.facebook.com/groups/stolenwinesocial/

you can also "like" us if you want :) https://www.facebook.com/stolenwinesocial

We'll leave you with a video by The Spook School, which is excellent to dance along to:

See you soon! 

P.S. We are REALLY sorry to people who got turned away because of the ID stuff :( It's "strictly over 18s" and you need id if you look young - we didn't realize either we're sorry for not warning people! We know a few of you got turned away but hopefully there weren't too many more.

Here are some photos if you fancy looking at how drunk everyone was.

thanks for such an ace year of fun and dancing! we've had an awesome time and some totally surreal moments (like dj-ing at the fortuna pop 15 years of fun aftershow with tons of our musical heroes in the room, including molly out of bratmobile!) and we're looking forward to more fun and dancing and awesome times this year <3

we'll be doing the night (usually) the first saturday of every other month, though our march night will be on the 31st. see you in february! x

Hello! We have been super busy with Life Stuff like finishing up dissertations, moving house, new jobs etc. so there was no club night in October. We'll be back before the end of the year though, we're just deciding on dates. 

In the meantime, Sean has asked us to dj at the Lexington for the aftershow of the first night of the Fortuna Pop! 15th Birthday gigs! EXCITING! That night has got The Primitives, Bearsuit, Monnone Alone, Cinema Red and Blue and LINTON, YOSHI AND WYATT FROM THE AISLERS SET! FOR REAL! Tickets available here: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/131292

but really you should get yourself a season ticket and go to all three nights. the lineups are pretty insanely amazing (shrag! evans the death! comet gain! allo darlin'! darren hayman! tender trap! ladybug transistor! crystal stilts!) http://www.wegottickets.com/event/136753

Thanks to everyone who came to our last night and to Pocketbooks for being awesome guest djs! We had a great night. Emma played Milky Wimpshake, Ian played Marion, and Dan played Gary Glitter. 

Our next night is in October - more info soon. In the meantime, you can join our facebook group to keep up to date with stuff (http://www.facebook.com/groups/stolenwinesocial/) or "like" us (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Stolen-Wine-Social-Club-Night/202719246413940), if you want.

We'll leave you with "First Kiss Feelings vs. Everyday Sensations" by girlfriendo. Karren played this and it's an awesome song <3

[stolenwinesocial]

Here's our new flyer, though it might change. Still unsure about it (input welcome!)

Thanks to everyone who came out last time! we ended up going til 3am, instead of til 2 like we were planning. so much fun and dancing! one of our highlights was putting on the last song - "the opposite of halleluja" - and dancing/singing along with everyone.  playing "clang of the concrete swans" by comet gain and getting to dance to it with a crowd, instead of alone in the flat was also awesome. we had an ace night! a big thank you to colm for such an amazing set!

Our next night is happening August 13th. We're really happy to have Emma, Ian and Dan from Pocketbooks as our guest djs! They are ace at dj-ing and also ace at music. Check out their new album and single!

Come join us for a drink and a dance and lots of fun! x
