Paul, any chance of another Pulp night at any point? We went to the Feeling Gloomy one last time I'm afraid, but yours had the far superior setlist, leading to many regrets on not having attended!

We're thrilled to welcome DJs from Indietracks Festival for our next club night! Emma, Ian, Alice and Dan will be spinning records by the bands and artists playing this year. This is our fourth annual Indietracks special and they're always great fun ahead of our favourite festival!

We'll be playing our take on indiepop, post-punk, new wave and everything in-between from the likes of...

Allo Darlin' . The Beach Boys . The Beatles . Belle & Sebastian . Best Coast . David Bowie . Camera Obscura . Cats on Fire . The Clash . The Concretes . The Cure . Depeche Mode . Dexys . The Drums . The Fall . Felt . Gang of Four . Hefner . The Jam . The Jesus & Mary Chain . Joy Division . The Kinks . Jens Lekman . Los Campesinos! . The Magnetic Fields . McCarthy . Orange Juice . The Pains of Being Pure at Heart . Pulp . The Shins . Simon & Garfunkel . Slow Club . The Smiths . Standard Fare . The Shop Assistants . Talking Heads . Talulah Gosh . The Vaselines . The Velvet Underground . Veronica Falls . The Wave Pictures . Wire . The xx

You wouldn't like to give our We Love Life petition a cheeky promo would you?

This is on Saturday! Team Indietracks will DJing from 10:30pm so get there early. For £4 membership entry head to http://www.scaredtodance.co.uk/membership/

It wont be all Indietracks music on Saturday, so if you like the older post-punk and new wave stuff we play thatll still be there for you to hit the dancefloor to. Im feeling particularly inspired after watching the beautifully shot Radio On (which well be projecting) which has the most brilliant soundtrack Berlin-era Bowie, Kraftwerk, Devo, Ian Dury.

Check out the trailer for Radio On at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_hiwawj-ts

What would you like to hear?

I'd like to hear lots of stuff from Separations. Fall. Late 70s Bowie. Wire. Beginning to See the light - VU. Henry Rollins Don't dance - Allo Darlin ('cos they won't be playing it!) and any Hefner that's not the usual dancing stuff :)

Eeeh, all this depresses me that I live in Burnley. Good luck!

Eeeh.

Yep, got them all written down for Indietracks!

This Saturday! Wes from Let's Wrestle DJs at Scared To Dance. Email us at admin [at] scaredtodance.co.uk for £4 cheaplist and send us your song requests. Expect plenty of indiepop post-Indietracks and classic post-punk!

Check out Let's Wrestle at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc5HnZP5v6s

Was a tad disappointed that despite your looking for requests, the only Pulp song you played at Indietracks was Babies! Unless I was absent for a while and missed some particularly good stuff or something...?

With regards to clubnights, an Edinburgh based one - Unpop - played some rather good music into the wee hours at Indietracks. They even played Cocaine Socialism all the way through, even though it did kill off half the dance floor (apart from a handful of us going mental).

Another club I thoroughly enjoyed was that of Music For Girls, run by a triumvirate including the utterly wonderful Elizabeth Morris of Allo Darlin. Can't remember the last time that I have literally never stopped dancing to a single song in a two hour span before!

---

Sorry to hear that Stephen. I played Countdown at around midnight along with The Fall, Wire and Henry Rollins Don't Dance. Babies is a bit of a tradition at Inidetracks disco's. Last year every disco played it so it's a song that has to be played from now on. I'm glad you enjoyed Music For Girls and Unpop who I got for the Friday night.

Saturday night, a Full Moon Reggae Party with Tigercats!

Excellent, they'll be more on that night soon once the poster has been finished!

 It's a shame you're not doing a freshers event (moving to London for uni in 3 weeks!), I'd definitely come. All the ones so far have been "dubstep/house/commercial/dance" music so a bit out of my taste

Will there be some Pulp on Saturday 8th?

Yeah sure, if there's something in particular you'd like to hear?

Scared To Dance in East London at the Moustache Bar is next Saturday. Hopefully see some of you there!

 Come with me! I'm going on my own

I'm coming! Just moved down.

A great night last night - had to queue for ages for the upstairs though. As we were at the front of the queue the bouncer stopped letting in, and he said "you won't like it in there anyway", and a few people came out at the same time saying it was no good (not quite sure what that was about or if something happened just before).

We had a great time though, and the DJ played Mile End for me :). Everyone else seemed to be enjoying it loads too - I just thought they were short staffed in there.

I thought Id posted a message on here telling some of you Misshapes to come say Hi, but seems my phone didn't post it.

This is on Saturday night!

If you've never been before then remember to apply for cheaplist entry. Details at http://www.scaredtodance.co.uk/membership/

Hopefully I'll actually be at this one...

Not sure you'll get many people from here there on Saturday mate.

Ha of course, I forgot! A friend of mine went and said it was incredible. I'm very jealous of those of you who made it to the gig!

Any requests?

I've written a bit about the club on Saturday night at http://www.scaredtodance.co.uk/2013/01/09/requests-for-saturday-night-at-the-moustache-bar/

I'll be making a new batch of membership cards for the club on Saturday! So if you want to get in for the discounted price of just £4 email your full name to paul@scaredtodance.co.uk

If you'd like to get one for your friends the details can be found at http://scaredtodance.co.uk/membership

I heard Veronica Falls in a church ion Shoreditch a few weeks back. Really like the material that I've listened to, but the gig really didn't do anything for me. It was possibly the venue being too big, but I felt that lacked any sort of charisma / stage presence and were a bit boring.

A quick bump for this which is on Saturday night!

Wed love to hear your requests for the club. So far we've got the likes of Jens Lekman, Tom Tom Club, The Smiths, The Vaselines, The Fall, Tigercats, Hefner and Pulp lined up.

If youve never been to the club before, the Moustache Bar is a short walk from Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction stations. Theres also an infinite number of buses that pass that way.

It's not fair that none of these are in Yorkshire! That is all.

Gratuitous plug / thread hijack time...

If you like that sort of thing, there's always Don't Falter! It runs on the first Saturday of the month at Baby Jupiter in Leeds and plays a lot of the same stuff as Scared to Dance, with half-hour sets from the latest hot young indiepopsters (ahem). I promote and DJ it, and Stephen of this parish has been known to DJ as well. Come and say hello on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/dontfalter, or have a look at last month's playlists (complete with handy spotify links) below. Or just come along on May 4th, we've got September Girls playing and everything!

See below for DJ setlists... note classic indie disco arc from wilful obscurity at the start to dancefloor bangers at the end.

A quick bump for our Depeche Mode Special which is happening on Saturday night, if that's your sort of thing.

Be lovely to see a few people from here at the club again.

Oh, very good.

A quick bump for this which is happening on Saturday night. Gordon & Katey will be DJing from 11pm to come down early!

Any requests for Saturday?

We're going to play a Scared To Dance greatest hits set. The idea is that we'll pick the most popular and most frequently played songs at the night. Essentially, it'll be the songs that have made the club what it is since we started bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in 2009.

We want YOU to send in your favourite songs as requests for the night. Be it something old or something new but just as long as it's song that makes you think of the club.

A quick reminder that we're back this Saturday! Fever Dream will be DJing from around 11pm and if you have any requests, you can post them on the event at www.facebook.com/events/395525953880292/
