Hi Cyrus,

Helsinki Sunday night band Trio from Hell are playing at the Stand up Comedy on Friday.

But it looks like everyone predictibly equates alternative to some type of rock despite your above points of reference.

I think for a different scene you'd need to check out another dirtier less sanitised city. I went to a Drum n Bass night up in Basel last month and chatted to a few local people there. One of them told me there's regular dub events up there, I'll contact the guy I met to find out more and PM you.
Or Berne perhaps.

But Moods has some interesting gigs on occasionally, but not a regular night obviously and DJing would already be arranged for the big gigs, saw US3 a few weeks ago.

Matahari was a bit indie / rock commented on by Depeche from the first weekend drinks.

Acupulco is a little bit experimental sometimes.

Music at IQ bar at Escher Wyss Platz is varied but has no DJ.

Last time I was at Babalubar the guy behind the bar was playing some cool tracks and was really helpful and enthusiastic when I asked him what the tune was that was playing. I reckon you could ask in there if they'd be interested in a one off trial DJing. www.babalubar.ch Worth a try.

Finally you've got the ski season coming up and those snowboarders certainly know how to Dub.

Keep us all posted if you find somewhere to DJ, sounds interesting.

Cheers,
HB
