Friday April 2nd WNS gig

Thursday(‘s) Child Rocks – 25th Feb

If you can’t live without Sound-ahol, the first step is meeting up with like-minded people at Sound Holic, Hongdae on a Thursday night. Not only will this be a great night out, you can spend all night convincing yourself that you’ll be able to make it through work on Friday. The cherry on the top is that it’ll also be documented for the next few episodes of Stuart Reece‘s web-based Korean Indie show Seoul Underground. So, you might get your face on the internet, only this time without worrying a coworker will stubble across it.

Galaxy Express/Moonshiners/We Need Surgery/The Koxx – New Year Show

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Freebird and FF battle it out for your New Year’s Eve attention. Club FF are putting up an impressive line up.

Galaxy Express – pure RAWK shouty AC/DC milkers

Moonshiners – sorry, no idea

We Need Surgery – New Wave/Interpol/Joy division-y, but with more keyboards and optimism

The Koxx – Brilliant new band with a lot of covers but a lot of potential.

Let's see. Amps - check, instruments - check, shirts...CHECK.

No idea which order they’ll be playing in (although chances are it’ll be more or less what’s here).

Dec 31st update:

According to Wassereis from the fantastic VIOLET SWEETS blog, DGDB‘s New Year’s Eve line-up includes Guckkasten, Serengeti, Kingston Rudieska, Telepathy and others; Club FF also has Phonebooth, Pony, 3rd Line Butterfly, huckleberry fin; Club Ta has Hi Mister Memory, Ynot, 불나방스타쏘세지크럽 and Playgirls etc.

Thanks for the info

Used Cassette, Banco and We Need Surgery – Nightmare (poster) before Christmas

Naked man - check. Massive Phallic symbol - check. Sex Offender eyes - check. It must be Christmas at Freebird!

Foreign fellas WE NEED SURGERY play their last gig (before a special new year show) at FREEBIRD on 19th December. In keeping with the theme 0f the poster (see left), they’ve diddled the old songs to freshen ‘em up for the winter and spent ages grooming a new one to give you a Christmas present.

Others on the register bill are BANCO and USED CASESTTES - who don’t  have a myspace presence yet, so I can’t comment on their style.

Get yourselves down there for some Post Punk you can dance to.

We Need Surgery - avoiding phallic symbols.

Swede Needs Surgery – DECEMBER 12th @ FREEBIRD

FREEBIRD in Hongdae – DECEMBER 12th

Atmospheric New Wave reverb-ophiles  ON SPARROW HILL launch their new CD “The Sitting Choir” with a very special line up indeed.

Word on the street says Swedish singer Lasse Lindh will be making a special up-until-now secret appearance, playing a few songs solo and then backed by other Seoul-based foreign bodies WE NEED SURGERY .

We Need Surgery - in the middle of an alien abduction

Lasse Lindh - errr...they're quietly confident he'll make it to the gig

Plus – and only the greediest human would demand more than what’s already on the bill – Korean Pop Punk 3-piece Look & Listen is the cherry on the top.

W12,000 on the door gets you four – FOUR! – quality live acts, On Sparrow Hills CD and a drink – who could ask for more? In fact, if you did ask for more, I would deliberately spill your free drink to teach you a lesson, you ungrateful sod.
