Tonight At Stet: Lady Sovereign, Magic Daddy, This Driver, Maggie Jones, Sister Motivator And Me

The title says it all, really. The tiny but mighty grime hero­ine Lady Sov­er­eign is return­ing to Stet for a live per­for­mance, sup­ported by squiggle-​click lap­topist Magic Daddy, plus house band This Driver (they do pretty singing and filthy music).

Also, there are disc jock­eys: Sister Moti­va­tor and I (Nurse Möt) will be pre­view­ing our Wor­ries In The Dance ska, dance­hall and dub thing in the back room of the top secret venue¹, while Maggie Jones and I (Möt) will be doing bleak grime, nasty dub­step and elderly rave in the main room.

The evening begins at 9pm sharp, and ends at 2am, giving Glaswe­gians plenty of time to catch the last bus home. There are a lim­ited number of tick­ets avail­able on the door, at a price I can’t remem­ber, but that is sure to be very reasonable.

One last thing - this is the last Stet in its cur­rent incar­na­tion, or, in the mul­ti­lin­gual Stet house style, La Finale.

1. It’s the Count­ing House, West Nichol­son Street, Edin­burgh, and the pass­word to gain entry is Ch-​ching. It’s near the Peartree, and above the Blind Poet, appar­ently. Don’t tell anyone. I mean, tell everyone.

Update: Blimey! A splen­did night, with Sov on fine form and debut­ing some great new songs (espe­cially Adidas Hoodie, and one which I think is called Public Announce­ment, a half grime, half 1976 punk thing). Pro­ceed­ings were marred only slightly by The Count­ing House turn­ing out to be run by total ass­hats, who closed us down half an hour early due to some minor ille­gal activ­i­ties by patrons, and then attempted to charge us £500 for a dam­aged hand-​dryer despite making an absolute for­tune on the bar. Boo hiss.
