Death Disco @ The Arches, 17 Jan

After their well received !K7 Tapes compilation were released last year, The Rapture's Mattie Safer appears at the first Death Disco of 2009. Also gracing the shadows of The Arches are the excellent Joakim, jetting in from France to play a DJ set before their date at Fabric later in the week. Chicken Lips appear alongside DFA's Runway and regular Death Disco residents in a night that is guaranteed to smear the glitter all over the faces of the punters. The whole shindig runs until 4am, just to prove that Death Disco has no intention of loosening its vice-like grip on the title of biggest superclub in Glasgow. [Chris Duncan]
