Wowza. What a show. Was great to have Capsule favourites Melvins playing in Birmingham. Thanks to all who came out, it was a great crowd and a perfect post Supersonic party.
Here’s some pictures of the show taken by Katja Ogrin
Join us for our next event – we’re showcasing some excellent Birmingham talent at IKON’s Autumn Almanac on 20th November, including Ore and Andrew Moscardo Parker
Missing Supersonic? Fear not, your live music enjoyment is not over for the year by a long shot. We’ve got Melvins playing at HMV Institute tonight.
A firm Capsule favourite, this will be unmissable.
Tickets are still available this afternoon from theticketsellers
We’re delighted to let you know that we’ve been nominated for an AIM Indie Champion award, for our work with Home Of Metal and Supersonic Festival.
We’re up against some pretty outstanding folks including our goods friends John & Luke at The Quietus ( but do feel free to vote for us !)- more details here http://www.musicindie.com/awards/indiechampion
“I volunteered at Supersonic as it seemed a great way to meet people & see plenty of the bands on the roster.
I had a cracking time working with the other volunteers, and meeting some lovely people (Michael Rother was a treat). Plus, Capsule really deserves our help as they consistently puts on some of the best live shows around.”
Ben Martin – volunteer 2010
SUPERSONIC NEEDS YOU!
Capsule’s internationally renowned festival runs 21-23 October 2011 and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved as a volunteer.
We need a dedicated team of volunteers to help deliver Supersonic over the festival weekend (21-23 October) and also in the run up to the festival (early October onwards).
The festival is small enough for everyone involved as a volunteer to gain an overview of how the festival works, and to give real input and value. We expect a minimum of 12 hours over the festival period in exchange for a weekend wristband.
In addition to festival volunteers, we are also seeking a small team of professional quality photographers to help us document the festival.

We thought we would share a favourite piece of coverage with you here, a video from the Guardian online that we all really enjoyed and hope you do too!
How exciting! Head on down to HMV Institute to witness the brilliant Battles play tonight! They’re fresh from a Glastonbury performance – check their performance of Ice Cream below.
Support comes from Young Montana?, a favourite of Mary-Anne Hobbs he merges glitch, hip hop and experimental electronica
London had the Tweed Run but here in Birmingham we’re much more hardcore than that so in order to celebrate the Home of Metal Launch our friends at Nimble have organised a Double Denim Ride in homage to the trendsetters that are metal fans!
So get your best metal outfit on, invite your friends and pedal over to the Gas Hall entrance of the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery for a 6pm meetup. Everyone will leave at 6pm after a Double Denim photo opp and enjoy a short pootle around the city and surrounding areas, aiming to be back before 8pm and the end of the party!
Prizes for the best outfit!
A week to go til Battles hit Birmingham! For a little taster check out this video of them paying in Osaka on their current tour.
