Saturdays are split into an afternoon and an evening session. From 4-8pm you can catch Rough Trade's free one and only showcase with plenty of live bands. From 8pm-2am the nights come in different shapes and sizes but generally with a splendid party in mind. |

Rough Trade Shops' RoTa afternoons have been running like clockwork for many years now, every Saturday afternoon 4pm - 8pm. It's ALWAYS free entry. Originally started to replace the legendary Rough Trade instore performances, every week sees 3 or 4 live bands and DJs. Often there is a label showcase but sometimes not. The policy covers basically anything that is (or would be) on sale in the Rough Trade shops, taking in leftfield/alternative genres ranging from post-rock, electronica and alt-folk to fuzzy rock'n'roll and indie-pop, with all the stranger stuff in between. |

'Muevete,'
says Cal Jader, 'is the pure party version of Movimientos;
a fresh tropical, Latin and African night. The Arts Club have always represented
the tropical music scenes so well (at nights like Brazilian Love Affair,
Future World Funk, Batmacumba and Secousse), and because of all those
great nights the [Arts Club] crowd are very open to different musical
styles.' |
