We've been falling a bit behind with telling you about our parties but we hope you follow our Facebook group for the club in Sweden. The UK one is a bit on hold so So Tough! So Cute! on 20th December at the Macbeth in London is the last one for a while. But more on that next update.

Alice Samoilova is a vinyl only DJ whose been putting on quite a few nights here in Malmö. Everybody Gets Lonely Orchestra was a fun sixties/indie night that had a house band playing for the dancefloor. The Clitts was her dynamic girl group band. She was a booker and DJ for Ryska Posten which brought Russian acts to Sweden and she was a dance teacher for Indiegympan Heartbeats! - an indiependendent dancegroup. It's super fun that she has agreed to come play her favourite femme fronted records at Too Cute To Puke. Expect a lot of soul, indie and maybe a few Russian girl-groups!

We also have a surprise visit at midnight so make sure you're here in time to see it!

Here's a Spotify mix Alice put together!
