Elefant Party in OCho y Medio Club

The events that Elefant is organizing to celebrate our 20th anniversary as a record label this 2009 are beginning. And pay attention because this first date is going to have a lot to lure you in with. This coming Friday, March 27th, in the Ocho y Medio club in Madrid, we can enjoy the cocktail of incredible offers that will make the night one of the must deliciously fun nights for everyone there. And we’ve got so many reasons to say that.

The night will begin at 22:00 with the projection of the latest Elefant video-clips. And as if there weren’t already enough reasons to arrive swiftly and promptly, the first 100 people to arrive will be given SPEEDMARKET AVENUE limited edition 7” singles in delicious colored vinyl.

A few days ago we talked about the incredible success of the second album of the Swedish group SPEEDMARKET AVENUE, “Way Better Now”, whose songs have been chosen as single of the week by media and journalists as important as Steve Lamacq (many say he’s John Peel’s successor) or Radio Q (the well-known Q magazine’s radio media). Well, they’ll finally be playing in Madrid on this first spring Friday, confirming their status as one of the most attractive groups from the international indie panorama. Sharing the stage with SPEEDMARKET AVENUE, and opening the show, LES TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE will present the songs from the precious and marvelous second album, “Rougeole”.

And after the concerts there are two invited DJ’s to make sure the dance floor is packed until six in the morning. First, we’ll have the incredible honor of enjoying the unbeatable Bob Stanley, one of the minds behind SAINT ETIENNE, journalist in such media as NME, Melody Maker, Mojo, The Guardian or The Times and in charge of the fanzine/label Caff (small record label we can thank for splendid vinyl singles by PULP, FIELD MICE, ANOTHER SUNNY DAY, GALAXIE 500, RAZORCUTS… ) at the end of the eighties. Bob Stanley is also known for his splendid DJ sessions, full of music from the 60s, and for having participated, selecting the songs, on various 60s compilation albums and having written the notes and commentaries on many re-releases. And finally, until your body can’t take it anymore, the hosting record label played to the rhythm of your hips by DJ POLAR (Luis Elefant). Eight hours of nothing but good music!

An incredible offer for the night of March 27th, a date with the best music in the first of the many parties we’ll organize in this year that is so important to us.
