This bongo-drum, saxaphone-laced song inspired body-popping and had it all - a banging chorus and sing a long chorus. Generations of indie-ravers have found inspiration from the pioneers and maintained the creative spirit of those Hacienda moments when electronic dance music fed off and into guitar music. I’m talking about the emergence in the late 1990s of DJs like Erol Alkan and, more recently, the cross-fertilisation seen in the work of the magnificent Hot Chip.

A hip hop-influenced crew, including Martin Price from the Eastern Bloc record shop, and two of his customers (and Hacienda regulars) – Gerald Simpson and Graham Massey – began making music as the Hit Squad. At various times, brothers Jez and Andy Williams featured in a local indie band called Metro Trinity. Along with Jimi Goodwin, they were Hacienda regulars. Turned on by the music they heard there, the trio founded Sub Sub, and released a single, ‘Space Face.’ Subsequently, Sub Sub metamorphosed into Doves (two of their four albums have reached #1 on the album charts).

They were able to learn a few songs for us with their set list which made the night really special. All our guests said how amazing you guys were. Would definitely recommend.”
