Sorry, this guy is a cunt, rapping about starting fights like it’s something to be proud of

Anyone know what’s happening this year (if anything). After getting ripped off last year in what was by all accounts a huge scam I’m not too keen to part with money until I know something definite is happening.

Was a really good night Benj,
Good to see that it was full and stayed full right through the night - about time you got the recognition for all the hard work you’ve been putting in lately!

Had a blast, drank too much, but was still smiling the next day.

[…] Not excited yet? You will be once you see this pretty passionate site. Pretty Shitty City is a site and project dedicated to documenting and publicising the alternative design and music culture scene in Swansea. Don’t be fooled by the name this site is all about the cultural joys of the city and none of the (excuse the pun) shitty bits, a real site for the people who live there. It was born from the idea that the cultural scene in Swansea was disjointed and needed pulling together into one place, and that’s just what these guys have done. It now acts as a useful portal to find gig listings, read articles, talk in the forum or just stop by and purchase your I heart Swansea t-shirt. […]

Comment on Learn How To DJ Classes by Jared

The DJ Classes at Monkey are filling up and shaping up.

I plan to make each session as participative and as flexible as possible. That’s why there’s only a max of 6 people per class per hour so everyone gets plenty of time on the decks.

I’m going to be running the same class twice a night on Wednesday for 4 weeks from January 16th. Each class will last an hour but we will be looking at different stuff over the 4 weeks.

It will probably look a bit like this:

January 16th (Week 1) The Basics (What is Dj-ing? Basic Mixing, Simple Scratching)

January 23rd (Week 2) Scratching Techniques with DJ Beatrix (from Swansea hip hop crew The Headcase Ladz)

January 30th (Week 3) Tighter Mixing (EQ and Music Structure)

February 6th (Week 4) Space for Questions, Tips, Tailor Made Advice and Practice.

Book now on 07793717851 or email me at woohoogingerboy@yahoo.co.uk

Cheers
Jared

I wish I could’ve seen the Manics back then but I was too young.
Ah well.. you obviously an uneducated tasteless person. I could go on a massive Nicky Wire style rant now but I really can’t be bothered.

Another good website for bands and gigs is www.gigall.co.uk.
They can even supply you with a dynamic frame that will list all the gigs within Swansea.

“Like Granddaddy After a steroid booster injection” NME

This made me laugh, I love Grandaddy, and after a shot of adrenaline they’d be perfect in a club.

Had a listen on MySpace and they sound a bit like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah & Modest Mouse!
