There was a time, not too many moons ago, when a series of underground parties took place in a basement in Belfast. Bands used to play right in the middle of the floor, eye-to-eye with the crowd – no barriers, no security, no attitude. They were raucous, legendary affairs that grew, spread and exploded, until like all good things, they came to an end. The authorities put a stop to proceedings, and so the parties went down in a blaze of glory, and were consigned to the history books.
Now AU has teamed up with Radar to recreate the atmosphere and ideology behind these parties, only in a new space. The Bunatee Bar, in Queen’s Student Union will play host to an intimate performance from a band who are stars and trailblazers within the world of Northern Irish music. Like the AU parties of yore, the band will playing right in the middle of the floor, with everyone crowded round, face-to-face with nowhere to hide. It’s going to be intense, and unrepeatable. You will never see this band in such a close confine again. To be honest, it’s a bit scandalous.
To top off the night, the AU DJs will follow the incendiary live performance with a characteristically party-heavy selection of tunes. You can expect to rave, rock, and wreck yourself. The whole thing will be more than memorable. Make it a date.
