It’s time to go out.

[ January 11, 2010 10:00 pm to January 12, 2010 2:00 am. ] A new year and a new night to hit our shores – Aka Aka Roar. They really seem to have hit the nail on the head with their concept: “Brighton has its fair share of dubstep nights, but AKA AKA ROAR is distinct, not only in the artists it welcomes on to the bill, but in its unrelenting attempts to provide a quality night of progressive music at a cheap price.”

Not only were there two other literary [...]
