Up coming 'In-Conversation' show

Friday 29th July saw Nightbreed Radio Dj's, Piers Sixx and Dj Po venture out of their coffins and go out on the road to catch Rhombus, Grooving In Green and The Last Cry play a fantastic gig in Birmingham UK.

They managed to corner Grooving In Green in a large storage room for an 'In-Conversation' show interview, much cake was eaten and they even managed a few questions about 'scene whores' and cats...

Also in attendance were fellow Nightbreed Radio Dj's Cruel Britannia, Trev (Dark Lord) Bamford and Dj martin oldgoth, who was busy spinning all the top tunes in the main room.

This 'In-Conversation' show will probably air some time in September after much editing.

It'll be well worth tuning in for! :)

How to add a Nightbreed Radio stream shortcut to your iPhone/iPod Touch

Convenience. You can't beat it. Coffee, food, all sorts of things accessed by the single push of a button.

So it made perfect sense for me to figure out how to access an internet radio station from the single press of a button.

I suppose that you could trawl the Apple app store to find one that would allow you to access Nightbreed Radio, maybe even charge you for the privilege.

OR you could just follow the steps below that I knocked up through a little bit of tatting about.

The simple instructions below will make a direct shortcut to Nightbreed Radio's stream on your iPhone/iPod Touch-just press & listen, like radio should be accessed in my humble opinion...

Once I've figured out how to attach the Nightbreed logo icon " " to this shortcut I'll let you know (this option already works for adding a shortcut to the Nightbreed Radio website to your homescreen)

1. Open http://nightbreedradio.com in Safari on your iPhone/iPod Touch

2. Scroll down the page until you reach the 'HOW TO LISTEN' section.

3. Press & hold on the .Quicktime link until options for it pop up from the bottom of the screen.

4. Choose the 'Open in New Page' option.

5. A new page will open and the stream will automatically start playing through Safari's Quicktime player plugin.

6. Press 'Done' in the top left-hand corner of the screen & a blank screen will appear.

7. Press the middle button at the bottom of the screen which looks like an arrow pointing out of a box.

8. Select the 'Add to Home Screen' option

9. Name the shortcut something relevant, like 'Radio Nightbreed' or 'Nightbreed Player'

10. Tap the top right-hand 'Add' button and you're done!

Regards,

DJ Cruel Britannia

Whitby Gothic Weekend clubnights

Two years ago Nightbreed Radio DJ martin oldgoth started a club night at the Whitby Gothic Weekend called ‘Nostalgia’ which rapidly became one of the highlights of the weekend. Based on the same premise as the thirteen13 show martin presents it concentrates purely on goth, post punk, deathrock and dark alternative tunes, a rare thing in the UK goth club scene these days where EBM, industrial or metal are sadly too common, and aims to provide a clubbing experience similar to the scene back in ‘the good old days’. You’ll hear the less commonly played tracks that other clubs rely on too heavily, so you’ll get the same bands, but not the same overplayed songs, and you’ll also hear the less played bands too, Belfegore, Flesh for Lulu.. you get the idea. martin oldgoth is joined by two of the UK’s best female DJanes, Velouria Rose and Rae Vinloon, and each event has a special guest.

From March this year another club night joins Nostalgia in its quest to reintroduce people to the scene as it used to be but focuses on the eighties, so its playlist will be more post punk, new wave, new romantic and indie. Again avoiding the cheese that other 80’s nights fall back on Recollection aims to bring back those bands that the dark alternative scene overlooks, so expect Depeche Mode songs that aren’t Personal Jesus or Just Can’t Get Enough, and bands like Blue Nile, Tik and Tok and a lot more of the post punk and indie that Nostalgia can’t find time for. In short, the eighties we remember and the two or three years either side of it where even chart music was good.

Tickets are on sale now for both events from the web links below:
