SINCE its humble beginnings in the front room of a dodgy boozer in Manchester's red light district, Akoustik Anarkhy has flourished into a live music extravaganza, record label and travelling party collective. It comes to Preston on October 28.
The nomadic club night has found a home in a number of odd venues, including kitchens in house parties and the basement of a back street hotel - as well as making visits to Paris and London,
But while it's rightly hailed as one of the most fun alternative club nights in the north west, the bands who play there are no mugs.
Nine Black Alps' first ever show was at Akoustik Anarkhy, while bands like The Longcut, The Harrisons and Keith have all cut their teeth there.
Out of their chaotic nights sprang a record label - aA Recordings - which has released nearly 20 records so far, including a new compilation album called Beyond Entertainment.
Three of the featured bands are on the bill for the Preston gig - Loose Canon, Autokat and Sam & Me - alongside Akoustik Anarkhy's resident DJs.
Akoustik Anarkhy takes place at 53 Degrees in Preston on Friday, October 28. Tickets are £5.
