So Tough! So Cute! London with Jon Slade (Comet Gain/Huggy Bear)

Indiepop, Soul, Punk and Girl-Group underground explosion madness with DJ Jon Slade of Comet Gain! We're extremely excited to have Jon back. Last time he visited us he played the most danceable, soulful and scorching tracks and all of them on seven inches. 

Come join us as we raid the top shelf cookie jar filled with handpicked roarin' soul sounds, arse kicking teen girl-groups, jangly twee as fuck indiepop, rioting grrrls, snotty garage pop, French bubblegum pop, Swedish anthems and love songs written by punks who pogo in their bedrooms - even when their mums are at home.

So Tough! So Cute! takes it's dance lessons from John Peel, Calvin Johnson, Ronnie Spector, Kathleen Hanna and Jonathan Richman. And so should you.

Too Cute To Puke #11 with Miriam Pemberton on 17 March

First, let us bring you the happy news, if me say that ourselves, that our femme fronted club night will launch in London in April. Please join our Too Cute To Puke UK group to get news of when and where.

As for you Swedes we're back at Moriska Paviljongen this Saturday with an amazing guest-DJ: the fabulous Miriam Pemberton! She regularly DJs all kinds of nights in Stockholm like the very fun Falling & Laughing but she's also done London and New York. We are very much looking forward to her selection of girl fronted floor fillers and well back her up with our own favourite tunes. To get everybody comfortably into the venue we've moved in the the bigger room Spegelsalen. See you on the floor!

So Tough! So Cute! lägger ner all verksamhet på Restaurang Retro i Malmö

Hej.
Klubben So Tough! So Cute! lägger med omedelbar verkan ner all verksamhet på Restaurang Retro i Malmö samt att jag, Daniel, avslutar allt samarbete med dem.

Under de sex år vi drivit klubb på Retro har vi naivt ignorerat alla dåliga ord och varningar men den senaste tiden har det eskalerat och framför allt har ägaren och delar av personalen behandlat oss och våra, samt andra klubbars, besökare riktigt illa.

Jag avråder å det bestämdaste alla klubborganisatörer, DJs, bokare och besökare från att någonsin samarbeta eller besöka Retro igen så länge de är under samma ägare. Jag personligen har aldrig blivit så överkörd och dåligt behandlad, både privat och i egenskap som arrangör, och jag kommer aldrig sätta min fot där igen. Behöver någon klubbarrangör behöver veta mer så kan jag kontaktas via mail eller PM.

So Tough! So Cute! Events kommer såklart fortsätta snarast möjligt på annan lokal. Tills dess så välkomnar vi er till vår andra klubb Too Cute To Puke.
Tack
//Daniel

Slumberland Records Special at So Tough! So Cute! Malmö

Noise Pop don't stop! Yes! It's time to celebrate one of our favourite labels - Slumberland records! They've released so many great bands and records since the start in 1989 that it's, quite frankly, getting ridiculous. It is also starting to take up a lot of shelf space. From Henry's Dress and Back Tambourine to Frankie Rose via Ailers Set, Softies, Terry Malts, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and so many more. It'll be an absolute pleasure to try and play at least one track by every artist on the label. We want you to help us so let us know what your favourite track is by a Slumberland artist!

Update: Hipsters, Scenesters, Teenstars and Fakers - A Slumberland Spotify playlist
