The Corner – A New Place To Party
So the fourth member of Trof’s happy bar family opens this week. It’s called The Corner:
Taking inspiration from the disused warehouses of Manchester’s industrial past and the filthy little parties that rock the city every weekend, the club will be grubby little dive with a sound system forged in the pits of hell and a music selection to match.
The venue, owned by Trof, is being run by a collective of promoters, musicians and scenesters who have banded together to bring a torrent of delights for the opening month.
The Corner sits within spitting distance of the original Trof, where Landcross Road meets Wilmslow Road. The launch party on Friday starts at 8pm and the place is off to a flyer with the following promoters/bands already signed up:
Hit & Run •• Riot Jazz •• Sex with Robots •• Hoya:Hoya •• Cirque •• Norvun Devolution •• Format •• Shiftwork •• Jupiter Rooms •• Micron •• Groovement •• Global Beats •• Fuse FM •• Ernies Rhythm Section •• Hot Club •• Comedy Sluts •• Growl •• Cool Runnings •• Chess Club •• Growl •• Ten Bears •• The Mouse Outfit
Check out this month’s timetable, which also includes various drinks offers to keep Manchester’s students permanently inebriated. There’s also a new blog (with stealthy grey-on-black colouring) at www.cornercollective.co.uk.

I like dives. Might see you down there on Friday?

Nay, I have urgent matters to attend to – organising a meal for 15 people!
Let me know how it looks though. And its gig potential.

There seems to be a good crop of new Manchester bands around at the moment. Has anyone checked out a group called Foilface? I’m not sure if they’ve done much gigging but they’ve got some free Manchester tunes up on their website at the moment (think slacker rock) – http://www.foilface.com/2009-songs-foilface.htm – think they might be playing Tiger Lounge sometime soon

Does anyone know what the venue capacity is?
This could be interesting for smaller bands such as my own..
