Now The Q Club is holding more events, they are looking to improve the sound and lights, fingers crossed on that one... but want the night to continue in it's current format. So get your requests in for what / who you want to hear - DJ Richard Watts should be returning for The Po...wer Hour this month, with a Guest DJ in there too... and hopefully some door staff so you don't get overcharged! If you do get overcharged on the night, do come and find me once you're in and I'll make sure you get a refund and in for free the next time... or if you fancy some beer money, we're recruiting door staff - all you have to do it sit the till, stamp some hands and watch for the late night drinkers trying to sneak in downstairs for free! If you can help out, please message me, I will let you plus a guest in for free AND pay you £10 for each hour you do - usually it's the 11pm - 1am slots that we're short for. Also cloakroom staff - anyone who wants to work the cloakroom gets the proceeds @ £1 per item - can be split between more than one of you of course. Thanks once again for keeping the night alive - see you soon. Taff" |

AWAKE THE EMPIRE; http://www.myspace.com/awa A hardcore melodic rock band from Cambridge, ATE have supported Elliot Minor, Brigade and My Awesome Compilation. They have been gaining some impressive ground over the past few years, and currently have a headliner gig lined up at the Junction in May, as well as featuring on the top 10 buzz chart at the 'Red Bull Jam' competition, where they are competing with thousands of other bands nationally to play some of the biggest festivals this summer. Give them a listen here and vote them 5 stars whilst you're at it! http://redbullbedroomjam.c FEDERAL BLACK FORTY: Another talented local Cambridge band, Federal Black 40 are described as commercial hard rock, with classic rock influences. They have previously supported the likes of Soulfly, Hawkwind and Chris Shiflett (of the Foo Fighters) and claim influences from GN’R, The Almighty, Jet and AC/DC. Listen to them here: http://www.myspace.com/fed Club night to continue on after the bands!!!

So come, one and all, to celebrate one year of the ONLY night in Cambridge that plays Just Cla...ssic Rock (not Nu-Metal / Pop Punk et al) --- door discounts as always = £2 for you guys on the FB group - and still the only night in CB that gives door discount to the Over 30s... And you'll be wanting a bottle of Jager behind the bar for free shots for all at midnight, no doubt? Consider it done. Hopefully more than one guest DJ this time - and at least one (possibly more) RockSoc Presidents in that lineup! So cut and paste in the following to a message to me or on the event / main I-Od wall if you want in for £2 - and invite a friend along as always! ~~~ \m/ Happy Birthday I-Od! £2 Entry for me, please... \m/ ~~~ |

18th June May Brawl at The Portland Arms |
This year's may week alternative is confirmed for Saturday 18th June, so mark it in your diaries. Advance tickets are available online. We'll be having a picnic on Jesus Green from 13:00 beforehand, so come along to chill out first! Headlining: The Prophecy Hailing from the darkest, deepest part of the UK – West Yorkshire – The Prophecy justifiably headline the 2011 May Brawl having been part of the vibrant UK scene since 2001, releasing several highly-acclaimed albums and playing all over the world. Comparisons to bands such as My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost would be selling these guys short as they most definitely have brought their own sound and style to the table which has to be seen and heard to be believed. Really amazing stuff which will truly be the icing on the cake when they hit the stage. Replacing Degenerator are Nya. For those that remember Nya the last time they played Cambridge, you will also remember that due to a number of circumstances that they only had the opportunity to play an extremely short, but amazing set. To set things right, they have been invited back and alongside a new vocalist, will more than justify their return appearance! As metalrage.com puts it “…the songs are indeed nicely balanced mixes of catchy choruses, heavy riffing and melodic, harmonious vocals. Their groovy mix of modern (melodic) metal and rock definitely does the job for me…”. Last but not least are To The Lions, who have been part of many excellent local gigs for quite some time now will be opening the night. Strong off the release of their new Spent Shells EP, expect a solid dose of heavy metal, Cambridge style! Join us from 13:00 onwards on Jesus Green for some serious chilling before the gig. Bring food, a BBQ if you wish and your own booze and come and laze around for an afternoon! |

If you haven't seen these guys before, now is your chance, and this is something certainly not to be missed. This is Old-school/traditional/NWOBHM style at its finest and most intense so don those patch jackets, unsheath those swords, raise those hammers and if your head falls off due to far too much handbanging, bang with your neck instead! Dakesis Power, Rock, Prog, Metal — all of these words could be used to describe Dakesis, but the only real word would be 'Dakesis'. A 5 piece from the deepest, darkest parts of Birmingham, Dakesis have a rapidly expanding fan base that will no doubt include all of you once you have see them live and quite possibly before if you give them a listen (which you really should). Dethonator Mix amazing riffs, stellar vocals, thundering drums and an ability to write mindblowing songs and you would come up with Dethonator. A great rock/melodic edge mixed in with the purest metal. Really, really great stuff! "Go see 'em" as someone put it. Tickets: £4 door/£3 adv. for Rocksoc members (please bring membership card). £5 door/£4 adv. for non-members. Advance tickets are available online. |

31st Dec. PsychoCandy New Year’s Eve Party at The Q-Club |
Want to end 2011 on a high and bring in 2012 with a bang? Then join PsychoCandy as they party in the New Year with a blend of alternative rock, pop, and electro! Featuring DJ Marcus, DeathBoy & MangoFlush who will be bringing you a hard-partying mix to get you moving. Old classics, new finds, random picks: it will all be there. And to make sure you get the party you want we will be asking everyone who is coming to send in a request before the event so that we can be sure to have the tracks you want there and ready to go! Yes, put your request below and it will be played! There will also be a few surprises (some to be announced soon!), a selection of special cocktails and a generally party-hard time. All this for £6 with flyer or £7 on the door! So sign up, spread the word, get your party frocks out and your dancing shoes on and make ready to Party In The New Year! |
