Club Save Yourself have moved homes from Manchester’s Waldorf Hotel to the Roadhouse, and to celebrate the new venue, this Friday (18th Aug) will see local band Movement play alongside what is being billed as secret guests ‘Cliff Rescue And The Helicopters’ (although not this Cliff Rescue And The Helicopters). Whilst this has to be Manchester’s worst kept ’secret’, if you were in any doubt, a cursory glance at the press release should make things a bit clearer:
Yes people, it’s here! After 15 months of mayhem and madness in the sweaty, disorganised chaos of the Waldorf, we emerge, blinking into the, well, subterranean darkness and slightly more organised chaos of our beautiful new home. Brace yourself for the very first…

SAVE YOURSELF!
AT THE ROADHOUSE
FRIDAY 18TH AUGUST 2006
And what a debut it’s going to be – we’ve pulled off something really special for you, our favourite dandies and divas. It’s only what you deserve after all. Now Brace! Brace! again because we’ve got this crazy sh*t happening…
Playing live:
CLIFF RESCUE AND THE HELICOPTERS
What can we say about our last act of the night, CR&TH? Mystery surrounds this secretive Manchester-based band but our sources reckon these three are gonna absolutely blow the roof off! ‘But who are they?’ we hear you call, ‘What do they sound like?’ Perhaps we should try to give you a concise blurb about the band, but there is just no shortcut to describe them. Suffice to say, if like us you’re not one for a quiet life you’d better get down early, otherwise you’ll be getting the late night bus home…

Who better to kick off this new chapter in our history than Save Yourself favourites Movement, soon to release their debut single on our very own record label (more news on this soon!). The boys bring their exhilarating, dark, new-wave sound to the Roadhouse stage and our source (nosy b*stard isn’t he!) tells us that there will be tonnes of freshly minted new songs mixed in with your old favourites… ‘an infectious whirl of Suede and the Las wearing black eyeliner’ ManchesterMusic
