“Palacio De Los Muertos” is coming to the Bethnal Greens Working Mens Club this Friday only from 9pm-2am. If you’re one for a morbid themed night out then boy do they have a miserable treat in store for you.
After successful ‘Day of the Dead’ nights previously held at The Nest and Bardens Boudoir in Stoke Newington this is set to be the best (or should I say fantastically worst) one yet!
With skull sugar cubes, cake, skull face-painters, and even a funeral photobooth, you can shimmy on down to some dark big band jazz and gipsy swing. With a dress code of Corpse Brides and Weeping-Widows you might even be able to recycle last Hallowe’en’s costume, as they say “basically, dress to be kill, or be killed again.”
From 9PM to 2AM. First act starts at 10.30pm sharp!
Admission: £6
38 Great Eastern St EC2A 3ES

Saturday – Pheromoans, Please et al @ Old Blue Last

The fantastic Old Blue Last venue in Shoreditch never fails to bring us great live music and this weekend is no exception.
With Please, Pheromones and Way Through taking to the stage, this is perfect for those looking for a chilled-out Saturday night gig while indulging your ears with quality experimental rock and pop.
Fresh off an album launch, Pheromones haven’t been more popular. Their DIY punk sound should get people rocking with some new tunes and the creators behind the hugely successful “Upset the Rythm” nights will be making their mark as Way Through – a change from putting on gigs to making music center stage.
Entry is free and doors open at 8pm.
