Hipsters, flipsters! The time has come to say "turn that motherfucker UP!"
Sonic Reducer is inordinately proud to announce our first late nite shindig at a new venue, the Metro, on December 18th. The match of the year will see the 'Reducer tag team of BigKegShandy and TeenSlain locked in pitch-controlled battle with The Bunker's Paul ' Blow Up' Tunkin. Using only the most deadliest 45rpm ammunition - namely the choicest punk, funk, garage, R&B, ska, soundtracks, soul, electronica and beat sounds - the multi-frequency square-off will mean non-stop dancefloor action.

Referees for this cerebellum 'n' instep-mashing bout will be the finest band in all Londinum, those missing-in-action Beatings. Call them tardy, by all means. Think of them as people with far too much free time one their grubby little hands. Wonder at the amount of Angry Samoans and Saxon vinyl at their collective disposal. But at just 60 Earth minutes past the witching hour, The Beatings will take to the stage, armed with favourites old & new. Fresh from the loving arms of Mr. Kevin Shields, and the stage of The Forum, they will undoubtedly be "Young, Fast & Scientific."

Ho, fucking, ho, children!
