The flyer probably tells you all you need to know! Bait shop happens every Thursday night, usually after whatever gig is on in Barfly has finished. It'll cost you 3 quid to get in unless you have an NUS card, then it's £2.

The music played is bang up to date, you're likely to hear all the latest bands (Crystal Castles, Cut Off Your Hands, New Young Pony Club) along with some old favourites and a smattering of top quality (what I guess is now known as) Emo (Minus The Bear, Jimmy Eat World). If you can't find anything in that lot to like then you have no soul.

I'll leave you with Bait Shop's words on the night (stolen from their myspace site!).


I like stuff from LDN
I like stuff from computers
I like stuff from the 80's
I like stuff from bands that stare at their shoes
I like stuff from bands that run around
I like stuff from people that care.

24 Hour Party People, People that wanna dance, drink and get stupid to songs that you aint heard cause they're hot off the press or ones you've not heard in a while.
