TO CELEBRATE the 19th anniversary of a popular music night, a party is going to be held.
Club Velocity launched in March 2003, with a set from The Vaults, The Snags and yumiyumi.
And another triple bill of music will take place when it parties on Friday, March 25.
The venue for the bash will be Rising Sun Arts Centre in Silver Street, Reading. Organisers are promising lots of cake and plenty of shizzle.
A Club Velocity spokesperson said: “Over the years-the night has put on very early gigs by Bloc Party, Amazons, Sundara Karma, Matt Maltese, Ben Marwood and many, many others.
“There has been more than 400 gigs; various heavy weight music industry types have attended.
“What really has been the most vital part of 19 years of gigs is this: bands have formed, record labels created, people have got married, lifelong friendships made and lives have been changed for the better.”
The anniversary line-up is east Reading band The Go Go Cult, a punk and billy rock rock band of the highest order; Abrasive Trees, who are making their debut Reading gig and featuring former Reading chap Jay Newtown; completing the bill is This, a new supergroup that Club Velocity says ‘deal in sublime pop guitar sex’.
Doors open at 8pm, tickets cost £8 in advance from www.wegottickets.com – search for Club Velocity.
Don’t forget the party hat.
