About White Heat
White Heat runs 8 - 3am. The bands are usually on from 8 -
10:30 (first band 8:30, second 9:15, headline 10:00. Sometimes it
runs a bit later than that. Tickets for all shows are available from
Ticketweb and on the door of White Heat on the night. Prices are usually
£5 advance, £6 on the door but for big shows this sometimes
changes!
If you're coming down for the club then the best way of getting straight
in without queuing is to arrive about 10:30 - 11:30pm just as the
bands finish and some people go home. THe club costs £5 or £4
with a flyer or £3 with an email (sign up for the mailinglist
on the right).

Hanggai (China) Live.
Sometimes White Heat does some slightly strange things. Arguably booking a
traditional Mongolian folk band could be included in amongst those strange
things. Arguably though they're basically pretty amazing and snuggle beautifully
into our slightly leftfield music policy. Arguably. Pitchfork say: "Sometimes,
an album takes you so by surprise that it takes days to get your mind around
just how much you like it. Hanggai's debut was like that for me-- this record
floored me the first time I played it. Simply described, this album takes
traditional Mongolian folk music and instrumentation and projects them into
a loosely rock-based structure. This is not really a folk album, though it
sometimes has the feel of one. Producers Robin Haller and Matteo Scumaci,
Westerners both, allow the band to straddle the folk and pop worlds, creating
something new and exhilarating in the process." They gave it an Eight.

Johnny Foreigner + Dananananaykroyd + William
Drowned in Sound are big fans of these guys and are sponsoring the gig too.
Here's what they have to say:
JOHNNY FOREIGNER... Take all your favourite parts of brain-sizzling
indie past - Kinsella twists and Pavement riffs, intelligent lyricism and
catchy melodies - and meld them with pop's imminent future: punchy percussion
and streamlined synths, sing-along choruses and heavy-duty hooks. The Birmingham-based
trio's debut album 'Waited Up 'Til It Was Light' ranks among 2008's best,
and was shortlisted for DiS's inaugural Pluto Prize.
DANANANANAYKROYD... Scottish sensations lighting up
stages wherever they go; a whirling sextet full of flailing limbs and screaming
throats, clap-along breakdowns and euphoric highs. Picture in your mind the
best party imaginable, bodies packed tight and sweaty, everybody smiles: without
even trying, you've pictured your standard Dana gig, minus the delightful
hairs-on-end heat and torrentially exuded energy.
