HTTP://WWW.PINUP-NIGHTS.CO.UK

Pin Ups is 6! Time flies when you're having fun and it seems like only yesterday we were getting all excited for our first ever Pin Ups in Blackfriars back in 2003. Now we're the longest running indie night in Glasgow and since 2003 we've welcomed the best new bands in Scotland through our doors and created disco mayhem on a scale never before seen on planet Earth.

In celebration of being 6 years young, we're going to dazzle your senses with an all-new set of "Future Pin Ups Classics" in the Main Room disco. The challenge we've set ourselves is to avoid playing anything we have ever played before while keeping you lovely people dancing the night away!

Over the years we've had more than a few dancefloor favourites and we're proud that we've heard some of our biggest Pin Ups winners being used by other clubs in Glasgow months after we'd worn them out and thrown the records away. We've heard tales that the APeeC DJs used to forage in the bins outside the Woody for our scraps - but far be it from us to endorse such scandalous rumour.

Speaking of these Pin Ups tunes which have become recognised indie disco standards, for one night only as a nice birthday retrospective we are also going to be playing the 101 songs which have made people dance the most at Pin Ups since the night started back in 2003. We are renaming the Kitchen "Room 101" for the night and will play 101 of the "Pin Up Dancefloor Destroyers 2003 - 2009"!

These Dancefloor Destroyers have been identified through highly scientific means that neither you nor I could possibly understand and some of them haven't been played for years. This is strictly a once in a lifetime opportunity, and the literary types amongst you may note that the "Room 101" reference hints that once these songs go into Room 101 - they might never come out again…

As always we also have top class live bands and Playing live on the night will be
Dirty Cuts ( http://www.myspace.com/thedirtycuts ),
We're Only Afraid of NYC (http://www.myspace.com/wereonlyafraidofnyc ),
Mitchell Museum ( http://www.myspace.com/mitchellmuseum ) and
Always Me, Me Me ( http://www.myspace.com/alwaysmememeglasgow),
and there will also be a special birthday edition fanzine and badge for the first 100 to arrive, birthday cake and free toast!!!!

All this birthday action adds up to a vague time travel theme which we nod to on our flyer!

Next up for Pin Ups is HLDB on Saturday 12th December, then the Pin Ups Hogmanay Ball 2 - details to follow soon although its on Thursday 31st and will feature a VERY IMPRESSIVE LINE UP. More details coming your way very soon...

The Republic Bier Halle on Great Western Road shut its doors for the last time on sunday night. There's no drama: their lease ran out and they want to move to larger premises.

The Bier Hof on Sauchiehall Street and the original Bier Halle on Gordon Street continue to fulfill all your specialty beers / 2for1 pizza needs in the mean time. ]]> djtoast http://www.altnation.com/forums/glasgow-pubs-clubs/148226-bier-halle-west-great-western-road-has-shut.html http://www.altnation.com/forums/glasgow-pubs-clubs/148187-united-noise-st-andrews-day-special-30th-november-2009-w-operation-magpie-dj-effigy.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:09:30 GMT operation magpie & dj effigy, monday 30th November at the 13th note

HLDB returns following a jam-packed, sold-out event last month – thanks again to Micachu & the Shapes, The Invisible and Findo Gask for great performances and thanks to YOU if you made it along!

Continuing in our mission to bring you something a wee bit different from what we present at Pin Up Nights, our headline act this month is teenagersintokyo ( www.myspace.com/teenagersintokyo ) from Sydney, Australia. 4 gorgeous girls plus Rudy on drums, the band's chief influences are 80s era Fleetwood Mac, Prince, Kraftwerk and Talking Heads - 4 of our all-time favourite bands! Unsurprisingly they sound great - go have a listen. Further evidence of this band's exquisite credentials is the label that they're on - Back Yard Recordings, which released the Gossip's mega-hit "Standing in the way of control" and also Chromeo's "Fancy Footwork".

Support comes from the super French Wives ( www.myspace.com/thefrenchwives ), a very promising Glasgow band who have recently released their debut double A-side 'Halloween'/'Dogfight', Edinburgh's effervescent and electronic Futuristic Retro Champions ( www.myspace.com/retrochamps ), and the "synthy pop goodness" of Skitten ( www.myspace.com/skittenmusic ).

There'll also be the HLDB and Pin Ups DJs upstairs all evening. HLDB is either a great start to your Saturday night, or a terrific night out all on it's own!

Tickets are available now from Tickets Scotland - http://www.tickets-scotland.com/book...8-12313b000932

Pictures of last month's HLDB, as well as last month's "Pin Up Frights", are now in the gallery at www.pinup-nights.co.uk . Thanks for reading.
