Two new DiS shows in the Midlands...
domgourlay by Dom Gourlay August 30th, 2007

Good day folks. Not only are DiS putting on the best end of summer line-up anywhere in the UK this weekend (details here), we're also showcasing some of the country's best new talent at our monthly Nottingham residency at Junktion 7.

A week on Saturday, (that's September 8th), DiScover: The Midlands plays host to four up and coming acts currently making a name for themselves in their respective dwellings:

THE KULL
“The Kull are a Nottingham band that are promising to 'kill your stereo' ...that's kill in a good way."

YOU SLUT!
"Rifftastic-post-progressive-indie-power-rock-math-disco-pop warfare"

THE INSECT GUIDE
"Insect Guide offer epic soundscapes sounding reminiscent of what the Blade Runner soundtrack may have sounded like if had it been produced by Kevin Shields"

THE JUTES (pictured)
"More ooomph than a cheap punch to the guts, more energy than a snickers dunked in coke!"

+ Das Disko + DiS DJ sets

Admission is £5 on the door (£4 with an NUS card or flier), or if you add yourself to the Nottingham DiS MySpace group you will be eligible for the exclusive £3 cheaplist.

Then, on Saturday October 20th, DiS plays host to a night which can only be described as loud but atmospheric, where the bill is as follows:-

MINT IVE
"Adrenalin fuelled Rock and Roll"

AIR FORMATION
"a collage of almost surreal, swathing noise against a backdrop of choir-like vocals and picturesque melodies."

MODEL MORNING
"emotional and dynamic, making you want to dance, sing, smile, cry and get off your nuts too"

THE STOOPS
"Post-modern pop with a distinctive northern bite"

+ Das Disko + S.F.L. Soundsystem + DiS DJ sets.

Admission prices same as for the 8th.
