Thatcher's Children make a lot of noise in The Thekla
Thatcher's Children owned the top room of the Thekla Social last weekend. Simon, Ben and James from YANU were joined by another member of DJ troupe Thatcher's Children, Jemma. We all filled our records bags and CD wallets with lots of edgy rock and leftfield gems with the intention of proving to people that we are just as cool as Diplo who was playing in the hold of the ship, below.
Simon drops some solid rock
Jem gets a bad-meaning-good case of the funk thanks to Prince
Ben feels the effects of more Brazilian sunshine folk-popWe started with a pretty thin and disinterested audience. We did one round of two-tracks each, back-to-back, which failed to move the punters in anyway. It was only when Peter, Bjorn and John's 'Young Folks' whistled a few revellers onto the dancefloor that we realised what was needed. It quickly degenerated into a right old indie disco, and we had a chocker dance-floor eating out of the palm of our hands until chucking out time at 3AM (with one moment of mis-judgement from Ben that saw Dizzee Rascal clearing the floor like pepper spray). Free beers and an unexpected tenner each were ample reward, and we hope to be doing it again soon. Dates will be announced here. So hot right now... James lends a hand by pushing the light on an unused 1210....
