Hot Burrito at Hive
The venue formerly known as Retro Bar hosts this third instalment of this regular free entry club night, which aptly has a playlist packed with retro gems. Hot Burrito – the brainchild of veteran party promoters Dots & Loops – leans into indie and postpunk, so expect Arab Strap and Husker Du rather than Britney. The organisers are currently soliciting song requests on Facebook, so get yours in to guarantee your favourite shoegaze floorfiller will be played.
