Lucky Soul, Voxtrot, Various - The Kids At The Club

“Absolutely the best night in the whole of the world” – The Guardian / "Legendary indie club" - NME.com / "A speakeasy for anyone who suspects that their life is one big Smiths song" - Big Issue. 20 years on from the seminal “C86” compilation, London’s premier indiepop club night, How Does It Feel To Be Loved?, releases its debut compilation. With a reputation for being the indie aficionado’s favourite night out, HDIFTBL? has been at the heart of the UK’s indiepop scene for the last 4 years. Guest DJs at the club have included Stuart Murdoch (Belle & Sebastian), Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Bob Stanley (St Etienne), Stephen Street (Smiths/Blur producer), David Gedge (Wedding Present) & many more. As well as bi-monthly London nights, HDIF has also staged nights in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Malmo, Valencia, Glasgow, Oxford, Nottingham and the Isle of Man. “TKATC” is as much a litmus test of the state of indiepop in 2006 as “C86” was in 1986. Sweden’s burgeoning indiepop culture is represented by I’m From Barcelona, Irene, Suburban Kids With Biblical Names and Salty Pirates. America offers Voxtrot (“Think ‘Sally Cinnamon’-era Stone Roses and Belle & Sebastian” declared NME) and Saturday Looks Good To Me (“Emotionally direct, three-minute symphonies that weave Motown with Felt, Phil Spector with Nick Drake” Spin). The UK throws in a host of superb bands, from London’s Lucky Soul (“Almost indecently fabulous” The Guardian) to Glasgow’s Butcher Boy (Tindersticks meet Morrissey). The I'm From Barcelona track came out a single on Mute.
