After what’s seemed like weeks of cloudy weather, it was refreshing to see the sun poke his head out from the clouds the last couple of days for what’s felt like the first days of summer. My thoughts have instantly turned to festivals, as usual there’s a wealth of them to choose from over the next few months, but one that’s got us particularly excited is Farr Festival.

Taking place 27th & 28th July in Newnham, Hertfordshire in a deserted wood, this boutique festival has only been running two years but has already gained critical acclaim from party organisers and world class DJ’s alike.

The music, spread across two days and four stages, is hosted by club nights; Just Jack, Sancho Panza, Flux & Ransom Note Vs Society. With DJ’s such as Eats Everything, Miguel Campbell, Bicep, JD Twitch (Optimo), Huxley, Hannah Holland, Waifs and Strays, Terry Farley, Trevor Fung, George Fitzgerald, Alix Perez and many more providing the soundtrack to this years festival! All early bird tickets have sold out but there are still some cheap weekend tickets left at the bargainous price of £35, get them here.

We have a pair of weekend tickets to give away to one lucky reader, to be in with a chance of winning just tell us…

In which UK county is Farr Festival held?

A) Hertfordshire

B) Somerset

C) Kent

Once you’ve done that just email your answer to info@wearenotarockband.com with ‘Farr Festival Competition’ in the subject line.  Closing date for the entries is Friday 15th June 2012 @ 12pm. Winners will be picked at random and notified by email.

TONIGHT : SOCIETY (ALMOST) NEW YEAR SPECIAL w. ROBERT OWENS, DAN BEAUMONT + more

Posted in 80's, Acid house, Chicago House, Club Night, Society with tags , , , , , on December 29, 2011 by Knockturnal

Tonight is our last SOCIETY Session of the year and this one is going to bring down the walls. No excuses – no work in the morning (unless you’re really unlucky). Come and werk off that Xmas Turkey with a non-stop basement jackin’ session.

Joining ROBERT OWENS this month are the inimitable DAN BEAUMONT, who many of you will remember from our Marshall Jefferson warehouse party earlier this year (he absolutely KILLED IT) and Trailer Trash legend MIKKI MOST who will both be digging to the back of their box for Acid House Xmas Crackers. JOSH CAFFE, SOCIETY RESIDENTS and guests will keep our baubles shaking until the early hours, plus we have some very special surprises in store.

If you’ve not made it down to our parties yet, DO NOT MISS THIS ONE. Our previous events have seen the Dalston basement transformed into east London’s take on Ron Hardy’s Muzic Box, with an untouchable atmosphere and the party people jackin’ to the sounds of 80′s Chicago house ‘til the small hours. Nowhere else can you dance in a cosy basement club with Robert Owens singing and dancing along with you. This party will put your New Years Eve to shame – we promise.

Society Sessions presents Terry Farley vs Robert Owens

Posted in 80's, Acid house, Club Night, Society with tags , , , , , on November 24, 2011 by 4th level zombie

After two successful Society Sessions in the past two months, we bring you a third installment that is our biggest session to date. The last two parties in Dalston’s Basement has seen the charismatic, soulful Robert Owens team up with a different guest DJ and this third assignment will see him square up to his toughest opponent to date! Terry Farley!

Terry Farley, a man who needs no introduction but i’ll try anyway, is an acid house legend from Slough. This is a man who used to bathe in a tin bath and has been through more musical movements than Beethoven. DJ, founder of Boy’s Own magazine and then head of Junior Boys Own Records, Terry Farley is a monumental catalyst in House music past, present and future.

Our last two events has seen Dalston Superstore transformed into east London’s take on Ron Hardy’s Muzic Box, with an untouchable atmosphere and the party people jackin’ to the sounds of 80′s Chicago house ‘til the small hours. Nowhere else can you dance in a cosy basement club with Robert Owens singing and dancing along with you. It may be a Thursday night but the weekend most definitely starts here – BRING DOWN THE WALLS!

THURSDAY 24TH
NOVEMBER 2011 | 9:00PM – 2:30AM
DALSTON SUPERSTORE | 117 KINGSLAND ROAD, LONDON, E8 2BP
