Episode Eight: Rose Elinor Dougall, City Reverb + CMU:DJs
Plus the infamous CMU Pop Quiz – do you know your pop?
229, Great Portland Street, London, Tuesday 9th December 2008, 7pm-11pm

THE BASICS:

• The CMU Social is the monthly networking and showcase night for readers of the CMU Daily, the UK music business’ biggest and most popular daily news service.
• On Tuesday 9 Dec the eighth episode of the CMU Social will feature performances from two of CMU’s favourite new artists of the moment, Rose Elinor Dougall and City Reverb.
• As well as the music, the CMU Social is a real opportunity for music business people to meet, network and generally socialise – or prove their pop trivia knowledge with the CMU Pop Quiz (past winners include Sunday Best, Something In Construction and Olswangs/Glastonbury).
• On top of that, there’s a happy hour and well-priced food available from 7pm to 8pm
• Entry is free to CMU Daily readers, who just need to email the names of themselves and their guests to social@cmumusicnetwork.co.uk. Tickets will also be available on the door for £5.

CMU ON THE SOCIAL:
CMU launched its monthly Social in April, and since then a whole host of great acts have taken to our stage, including Infadels, A.Human, Maths Class, Tim Ten Yen, Post War Years, Vessels, The Deer Tracks, Model Horror, Sportsday Megaphone, RestLessList, Big Strides, Matt Finucane and The Penny Black Remedy. With the best audience and greatest atmosphere we’ve ever experienced at an industry showcase (and we’ve been to many), the night also features the increasingly infamous CMU Pop Quiz plus the finest mix of tunes from the CMU:DJs.

CMU ON ROSE ELINOR DOUGALL:
CMU’s favourite Pipette (and now ex-Pipette) will be joining us to show off some of her rather fine new solo material, including her fantastic debut single, 'Another Version Of Pop Song', which is due for release on 8 Dec, and says everything you need to know in its title. Stepping away from the retro, neo-girl group sound of The Pipettes, Rose’s new material sees her creating a clean slate for herself with the only link to the past being her rich, familiar voice. Do not miss this.

CMU ON CITY REVERB:
Featuring former Radio 1 DJ Chris Coco amongst their number, City Reverb release their debut album, ‘Lost City Folk’, on 2 Feb, which delivers a mix of electronic and live band elements to create a unique and beautifully atmospheric sound that Chris describes as “robot soul”. Their eclectic clash of influences creates a mellow, yet uplifting sound that will provide the perfect opening to our winter festivities.
