Guess what? It’s DURRR’s 5th birthday, and we’re throwing the mother of all parties to celebrate, with electro-noise merchants Factory Floor, art-rock band Muscles of Joy, DJ Fnord and of course, the half-decade-old resident DJs Rory Phillips and The Lovely Jonjo.

Taking place at Village Underground on February 3rd, early-bird tickets are available now here

Factory Floor – we’re expecting big things from you in 2012. The post-industrial trio have been honing their craft for a while now and kudos is due for their mini-album, Talking on Cliffs (released 2009) and an untitled mini-LP (released 2010) which led the NME to describe it as “a terrifying racket that simultaneously frazzles the nerves and slackens the bowels”. Which we think is a good thing. Since then, they’ve hooked up with Stephen Morris, who’s currently producing the band, who released singles last year with Optimo and DFA. They’ll be bringing their post-apocalyptic noise-rock to DURRR – warning; it will be loud and it will be awesome. Their brilliant track – ‘Two Different Ways’ – was featured in Erol Alkan’s latest (and the final!) 6 Mix show on BBC 6 Music – and you can check it out here.

Muscles of Joy are an all-female collective from Glasgow, bringing together the aspects of the eclectic music and arts scenes that the city is famed for.
The seven-piece band formed after meeting at The Parsonage – an alternative choir who’s love for Joy Division and Jefferson Airplane sets them apart from traditional holier-than-thou singing groups – and the ladies of Muscles released their self-titled EP in 2011. Expect bewitching choral arrangements, home-made instruments and spoken word harmonies when they hit the stage.

Also DJing on the night is Fnord, and DURRR residents Rory Phillips and The Lovely Jonjo.
