Net Nuggets 10: Goodbye, Upopulær!

Peter Bjorn & John: «Lay It Down (The Golden Filter remix)» [mp3]
After about three years of giving underage queers and disaffected trendies a day-glo place to shine, irregular Oslo club night Upopulær! has finally become too popular for its b(r)itches. Tonight has been announced the last ever «official Upopulær!»

From Upopulær!'s electro-punk beginnings through to raves for drunks and now its '90s retro Eurotrash ending, we here at Toilet Guppy's don't really have any rarities or Internet exclusives to fit the gloriously mucky club night's bill. But I did manage to dig out this old beauty—the Golden Filter's sassy remix of Peter Bjorn & John's more or less recent single, the deliciously catty «Lay It Down». Attitude, darling!

You probably won't have heard the track at Upopulær!, but it'll have to do…

UPOPULÆR! IS DEAD! LONG LIVE UPOPULÆR!

(Saturday 13 June at Revolver, Møllergata 2, Oslo. Doors open at 10:00 pm. Entrance: kr. 100.)
