By Tom Skinner
Independent label Speedy Wunderground has announced a special London gig and vinyl box set to mark its tenth anniversary.
Co-founded a decade ago by producer Dan Carey, the label has released early material from the likes of Squid, Black Midi, Loyle Carner, Kae Tempest, The Lounge Society and Black Country, New Road.
Speedy Wunderground is due to takeover the Village Underground in Shoreditch, east London on Saturday, September 15 for a tenth birthday bash.
The event, which runs from 8pm to 3am, will feature a host of guest performers from the label’s “past, present and future”, as well as DJs and other special guests. No names are being revealed until closer to the night, in “typical Speedy style”.
Per an official listing, the gig will be “a mammoth 7-hour celebration” of all things Speedy Wunderground.
“Based on the wide range of era-defining artists they’ve worked with over the last decade, with the significant influence they continue to have on the current independent musical landscape, anything could happen, and probably will,” it adds. “Expect the unexpected.”
Tickets are available now for £21.22 via Dice – you can purchase yours here.
