M.A.N.D.Y (Phillip Jung), We Are…. Electric , The Cabaret Voltaire, 15 Aug

The gargantuan We Are... Electric turns two this August amidst a dynamite extravaganza of a birthday party, requiring an extra special late license (5 am) and a truckload of dancefloor stamina. Rinsing it in the main room are the resident DJs and organisational lynchpins, Gary Mac and Flix, followed by the showcase act of the evening: M.A.N.D.Y's Phillip Jung. Last year's birthday night in with "the guvnor" Andy Weatherall ("he said it was the best midweek night he'd ever played," glows Flix) left us with justifiably high expectations for the next round. We are gleefully warned to expect "the sort of music that you and I won't have ever heard before. (M.A.N.D.Y) are the cutting edge." Damn straight. See you there. [Rosie McLean]
