FRIDAY

High Five

Address: Debaser Malmö, Norra Parkgatan 2

7pm – 3am

Free entry until 10pm, 90 kronor later

Age: 20 and over

Website

High Five aspires to be that house party you later wish you’d never left. A group of friends taking turns playing their favourite records, inviting their favourite bands to play, and drinking a toast to happy times. Be prepared for indie, punk, rock and a twist of pop, as well as quality movies on the big screen and a music quiz at around 9 o’clock.

Tonight

On stage at around 11.30: Hong Kong Blood Opera, a Mexican band that made its breakthrough in 2007 with experimental, dancy rock music. Gothenburg band Punsch and Judy will be playing earlier in the evening. If you like Sonic Youth, The Bronx and Blood Brothers, this is the place for you.

KB/Nightclub

Address: Kulturbolaget, Bergsgatan 18

11.30pm – 4am

60 kronor (20 kronor before 12.30am)

Age: 20 and over

Website

When the concert’s over and you’re stuck in some bar, your friends can’t decide where to go next and you want to go clubbing but can’t decide between house and radio hits, then it’s a dead cert you’ll end up here. KB’s Nightclub is a bit of everything without being too much of anything, a safe bet in a nightclub world where one fad fast replaces the next. You know what you’ll be getting at KB: a musical mixed bag with avague pop/rock direction and friendly people who, like you, don’t really know how they got here.

SATURDAY

Étage

Address: Étage, Stortorget 6

11pm – 5am

80 kronor

Age: 20 and over

Website

It’s said that Tom Jones once used to party at Étage. Whether he still does is uncertain but the kinds of people you are guaranteed to bump into are the dressed up youngsters who tumble in from the places around Lilla Torg. You’ve come to right place if you have nothing against radio fodder and distinctly unsubtle chat-up lines.

Ich Robot

Address: Retro, Norra Skolgatan 24

10pm – 3am

Free entry

Age: 18 and over

Website

Minimalistic synth, electro and Italian disco. Drum machines from all nations unite in the Retro cellar. Dark, mysterious and heavy.

Tonight

Guests at Ich Robot #8: Stinexx (Stina) from Moscow Discow, and Technicolor from Midnight Express (Gothenburg).
