Cast your minds back to those blissful childhood days when jelly & ice cream was
the greatest thing since… well, jelly & ice cream and all the kids at school
would have competitions to see whose parents could give out the best goody bags
at your Birthday bash. Well folks, those happy days are back as Together
presents The First Birthday (Well, Sort of…) on Saturday 27th January and the
Greatest Birthday Party in the World… EVER!!
Together has long been lording it at Turnmills (5 New Year’s Eve on the bounce),
but it wasn’t until January 2006 that our genre-busting club night went monthly.
Fast forward 12 months and you’re looking at the mother of all Birthday bashes,
with more trimmings than Gordon Ramsey’s Christmas dinner! F**k the stuffing,
cos we’ve got… Free Together Goody Bags, (including party hats, Together
keyrings, stickers, vouchers and anything else we can blag, oh yeah and those
things that you blow out too!), plus Free Haircuts, Free Face Painting, A Giant
Birthday Cake to jump out of, Laughing gas (naturally) and some proper old skool
party games to play like Pass the Parcel, Musical Statues, Musical Chairs and
Pin the Tail on the DJ. What more do you want? Jelly & ice cream? Cool, cos
we’ve got that too!! Seeing as every month WE decide what the Fancy Dress Theme
will be (Dress up as your Mum, make your own homemade Hat, get your best Sports
threads on etc etc), this month seeing as it’s the Birthday, we thought we’d let
YOU lot decide on what you wanted to wear instead. Therefore it can absolutely
anything. Think of the most weirdest and wonderful ideas and then come as that.
As ever, top prizes will be awarded to the ‘Best Dressed.’ So that’s the silly
stuff covered then… onto the music.
One thing we like to do at Together is mix it up and so for the Birthday we
thought we’d go that extra mile (well, it’s a special night innit). The line-up
then is quite a beast, kicking off in the main room with an exclusive DJ Set
from NYC’s flamboyant electro art-pop group Fischerspooner featuring Warren
Fischer and his DJing partner Jon Kane. Having made their UK DJ debut at
Together a year to day, Fischerspooner have now become a part of the furniture
and we couldn’t think of anyone better to celebrate our Birthday with. Joining
them will be another returning hero – fellow American John Acquaviva, who blew
the Together roof off back in April 2006. Since then, he’s stormed the latest DJ
Mag Top 100 Poll as the Highest New Entry (No.22) and has had a blinding summer
in Ibiza where his Acquaholic party has been one of the season’s hottest new
nights. Together’s all-conquering, fancy-dress-wearing residents Justin
Robertson and Anil Chawla supply additional firepower as they look to build on
what was an amazing 2006 for them both. Look out for a live set from Justin’s
new band Thee Earls in March and a shedload of production from Anil on ace
labels including CR2 and GU Music.
The beats (and bleeps) continue in T2 where the music policy remains as open as
ever. Keeping the glow-stick boys and girls happy will the Klaxons who swing by
for a spot of DJ revelry. The ‘New Rave’ (or whatever you wanna call it!) ravers
are the hottest band around after a series of spectacular live shows during the
summer. We’re also delighted to welcome Paul Epworth aka Phones to the mix.
We’ve been after him for flippin’ ages, so it’s nice to finally get our man… and
what a man he is too. Paul’s worked with some of the biggest names in business
over the years including Bloc Party, The Futureheads, The Rapture, The Long
Blondes, LCD Soundsystem, Plan B, Maximo Park and Death from Above 1979. What
you want more? Ok then, he’s also worked with The Rakes, Simian Mobile Disco,
Muse, Goldfrapp, The Streets, Tom Vek, White Rose Movement, New Order and Black
Strobe. Phew! Body Clap records dude Touché cranks up the bass for the big
finale, plus warming the floor early doors will be Nottingham’s Rioutous
Rockers, the guys behind London town’s uber-cool ASBO party.
We conclude in T3 – the home of the Midnight Ramble – the indie meets dance
mash-up, brought to life with a smile by X-FM’s red-trouser-wearing John
Kennedy!! This month’s ‘ramble’ is the Official After Party for John’s X-Posure
Live All Dayer which is taking place at the Barfly during the day; and headline
bands Brakes and The Horrors, will be making the short trip (with John) from
Camden to Farringdon for a very special live show at the ‘Mills. Having
supported Belle & Sebastian and Editors on tour last year, Brakes are certainly
a hot tip for future greatness and we can’t wait to see them in action.
Garage/Punk/Indie/Gothrock band The Horrors meanwhile join ‘em on stage, just
ahead of their huge NME tour in February. Having already graced the cover of NME
in 2006, this year should see the make-up-wearing-rockers feature on the pages
of many more key music rags. Then there’s Sunderland giants - The Futureheads –
who take a break from their recent UK tour to mix it up good on proper on the
decks. With two acclaimed albums under their belts, expect the odd Futureheads
track (perhaps Digitalism’s reworking of Skip to the End?) alongside a medley of
sounds and styles to get the kids stomping their feet. With further DJ sets from
the one like IDC and John himself we’re all set for one 'All Night Disco Party'
(the name Brakes’ super smash hit single!) and the Greatest Birthday Party in
the World… EVER!!

Carry On Together is a brand new concept for 2007. With hundreds of happy
