We’ve got a great prize to give away for this, but more of that later…

I’d imagine quite a few of you reading this have been to the Dirty Hearts Club down Snafu way at some point;  it’s a beacon of good taste on a Thursday night, I mean check out some of the bands and DJs who’ve played there on their myspace. Pretty impressive.

Anyway, they’re celebrating their fourth birthday in style with two cracking nights which encapsulate the club’s eclectic nature perfectly…

First up, on Thursday 28 January, London duo Filthy Dukes grace the decks. With a well-received debut album landing last year, they’re also known for their monthly genre-hopping ‘Kill ‘Em All’ night at Fabric, a quick look at the tracklisting from their FabricLive mix (in the company of some damn fine mix CDs over the years there) gives you a few pointers.  I’m going to stick my neck out here and say they might go down quite well..(10pm, £6/£5adv)

Then, on Sunday 31 January, there’s what promises to be a special DJ set from Salavatore Principato of legendary early-80s New York post-punk band Liquid Liquid.  His only Scottish date, you can expect similar dubby, funky, disco-y stuff to this online mix.  Ace.  It doesn’t stop there however; excellent synth-laden Glasgow popsters Findo Gask (pictured below, and superb at The Tunnels last year) play live, and a stellar line-up of local DJs including Funky Transport, KidBell and Martin Jay join the DHC regulars.  This is going to be quite a party. (9pm, £6adv from clubsnafu)

Now, about that fantastic prize, the lucky winner (always wanted to say that, very gameshow) will get:

A pair of tickets for both nights

&

A Dirty Hearts Club T-Shirt, Badges & Snafu Mix CDs

Not bad.  All you have to do to stand a chance of winning is answer this question:

What kind of game is Dirty Hearts?

and email it marked ‘Dirty Hearts Competition‘  to thekiosque@googlemail.com before midnight on Tuesday 26 January.

(The eventual winner will be picked at random)

Big thanks to Snafu and DHC for the prizes

Good luck!
