Hello! Apologies for the lack of substantive updates from us of late. Party-wise it’s been relatively quiet for us at KMA this year so far but we’ve got a fair bit coming up rest of April and May so thought it’d be a good to bring yous up to speed!
Parties
First up we want to thank the wonderful Chrissy and everyone who came down to our most recent party at Soup a few weeks ago. It felt very joyous and it was a delight to see a full house as always. Much love to you all <3
Kiss Me Again w/ Olof Dreijer & Abena @ The White Hotel - Friday 19th May
Breaking convention slightly by not listing the most recent gig first but it’s our newsletter and we do what we please. If you missed this announcement we have a party at The White Hotel on 19th May with Olof Dreijer of The Knife (yes THAT The Knife) and our good pal Abena. We are still pinching ourselves that this is happening, Olof has made some of the most important music of the last 20 years to have him play our little party blows our minds. Needless to say demand for tickets has been high and we’ve sold a pretty hefty chunk of them already, so don’t wait around. We’ve stuck up a very limited number of discounted tickets through this link for all you wonderful people who support what we do.
Sounds from the Other City w/ Good Afternoon - Sunday 30th April
We’re back again at the city’s best festival, Sounds from the Other City, teaming up with our wonderful pals of Good Afternoon! We’ll be joined by FRSR and Lucy Locket of Love Muscle fame. We’ll be taking over the Mirage Bar inside the Islington Mill for an afterparty running from 10pm-3am. Sounds always sells out so be quick and get on it if you haven’t sorted a ticket already.
No Trouble @ Partisan - Saturday 6th May (day party)
We’ll be back in the building the following week for the added bank holiday weekend in the main Partisan club space for this lovely day party for the first ever No Trouble! Day parties at Partisan always have such a special energy and we’re dead excited to play our first one in the new space with some wonderful artists in Mystique, Ayy Den and Vice City Soundtrack. Tickets here
Sounds of Detroit w/ Kyle Hall @ Band on the Wall - Saturday 6th May (night time)
Another pinch yourself moment for us, our nighttime soiree after Partisan will be supporting the legend Kyle Hall at Band on the Wall alongside Surco. If you’ve been to BOTW since it reopened you’ll know how good it sounds in there right now, so the opportunity to play there alone is exciting enough. To do it in the company of someone whose records we have collectively loved for such a long time is even more amazing. Tickets here.
FREAK Queer Rave w/ Flo Masse @ The Loft - 20th May
Our first time at The Loft is for the absolute babes at FREAK for the nighttime leg of their all-day party on 20th May. We’ll be alongside Flo Masse and Fastlove so it’ll be a wonderful way to round off an exceptional weekend of queer partying. See ya there! Tix here
Pride on the Range @ The Carlton Club - 27th May
To round the month off we’ll be back at The Carlton Club for the first time in a while for the wonderful Pride on the Range for Whalley Range’s very own Pride celebrations alongside Queer Latifah and Claud Cunningham. Carlton Club parties have an amazing energy all of their own and we can’t wait to get back there. Tickets here.
