A HEAVEN // A GATEWAY // A HOPE THE FACTORY is BACK!! Much like New Order sprang from the ashes of Joy Division, @planetschwa and myself are pleased to announce that FACTORY lives @poetrypgh , in the same space as the dearly departed Whisper Nest. It’s the perfect spot to do our deep dive into dance-forward and off-kilter sounds inspired by one of the best labels to ever do it, and we’re excited to be back in our home! Sean, James, and the rest of the Poetry crew are hard at work on a cocktail list to dazzle, we’ll be sporting some revamped visuals, lots of new tunes (the record buying never stops!), and as always FACTORY is a FREE night—no cover—so be generous with those tips! All wax, all prime selections, no guff! Those who came to our inaugural year of shows know to expect hits and deep cuts from across the alternative dance spectrum, encompassing the best post-punk and synthpop from the 70s to today. Once again, GET READY 24-hour party people, for third Fridays! @seandenright @arncty #factoryrecords #neworder #joydivision #thehappymondays #siouxsieandthebanshees #orchestralmanoeuvresinthedark #petshopboys #thecure #depechemode #4adrecords #roughtrade #manchester #madchester #mutantdisco #postpunk #indie #britpop #goth #synthpop #thedamned #blur #level42 #theslits #aupairs #chromatics #xtc #thehumanleague #softkill #drabmajesty
