[b]*NEXT STAY BEAUTIFUL: SATURDAY 5th APRIL*[/B]
Listen up, beautiful dance whores. The next Stay Beautiful is on SATURDAY 5th APRIL, and for the first time in perhaps too long, THERE IS NO THEME. Instead, it'll be 'just' a regular Stay Beautiful, which - as you already know - means fantastic music from your resident (and guest) DJs, an excellent live band, a Watering Can Song, a gorgeous crowd dressed to kill, and a whole lotta drunken fun. Now read on for details...



[b]*SHE'S GOT SAVOIR FAIRE, YEAH YEAH*[/B]
HELOISE AND THE SAVOIR FAIRE ( http://www.heloisemusic.com / http://www.myspace.com/heloiseandthesavoirfaire ) are one of the hottest things in New York City right now. And if you don't wanna take out word for it, how about DEBBIE HARRY, who has named them as her favourite new band (and even provides guest vocals on two of their tracks), or Hobbit-boy himself, ELIJAH WOOD, who has signed them to his new Simian Records label. Described by Disorder Magazine as a "great big flying disco ball swerving through a relentless shower of pink glitter and synth-lasers", and by themselves as "an electrified collision of late-70s disco-infused dance punk and 80s synth-pop", they could barely be more Stay Beautiful-friendly if they tried. (For another, probably hopelessly inadequate comparison, think Fischerspooner meets Blondie meets Minty meets Pet Shop Boys.) They come to us fresh from the SXSW festival, and will also be appearing on THE FRIDAY NIGHT PROJECT while they're here. (Sadly it's the Friday after SB, not before, but if you wanna get an idea of what to expect, check out their previous appearance on THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pDSkH3JsLlA ). This rare UK performance is gonna be one of those Stay Beautiful shows which is talked about for a long time afterwards, and you'd be a fool to miss it...


*GUEST DJ: CHARLOTTE HATHERLEY!*
Our guest DJ this month is none other than CHARLOTTE HATHERLEY ( http://www.charlottehatherley.com / http://www.myspace.com/charlottehatherleyofficial ). Everyone knows who Charlotte Hatherley is, right? Drafted into ASH in 1997 as an auxiliary guitarist (and rapidly becoming an indie pin-up goddess by accident), she spent a decade with the Northern Irish band before embarking on a solo career. She's released two acclaimed albums under her own name, and she's currently in the middle of a residency at Bar Academy in Islington, playing the last Sunday of the month from now until June. If you haven't heard any of her solo material, shame on you: check out the power-pop classic "Kim Wilde" on her Myspace for starters. We've seen Charlotte DJing before, and she rocks like a bastardo. That's all you need to know. Oh, and she also happens to have been playing in BRYAN FERRY's live band lately, which in a roundabout way brings us onto this month's prize giveaway...


*WIN EXCLUSIVE ‘FLASHBACKS OF A FOOL’ FILM PRIZES!*
Starring Daniel "James Bond" Craig and Keeley "Ashes To Ashes" Hawes among others, FLASHBACKS OF A FOOL ( http://www.flashbacksmovie.co.uk ) opens in British cinemas on 18th April. Focusing on a washed-up Hollywood star looking back on the days of his youth in 1970's England, it moves to the beat of a fantastic soundtrack featuring some prime ROXY MUSIC as well as the likes of David Bowie, Scott Walker etc. To celebrate the film's release, we're going to be giving away some exclusive Flashbacks movie memorabilia and all you need to do to win is answer a simple Roxy-related question... so listen out on the night!

*CHEAP BOOZE, FREE BOOZE!*
Drinks at the Purple Turtle are, you'll be glad to hear, served at pretty reasonable, pubby prices anyway (certainly compared to one or two of our previous homes). And, to set you on your way towards alcoholic oblivion, the Purple Turtle serves a special JESUS JUICE cocktail exclusively at Stay Beautiful - a delicious and potentially head-fvcking blend of vodka, Archers, cranberry, lemonade and fresh lime - at £8.50 per pitcher ALL NIGHT (a wide variety of other cocktails will be served at a tenner per pitcher). Furthermore, as aficionados of messy vodka-guzzling will be aware, Stay Beautiful has a somewhat notorious tradition called the WATERING CAN SONG...


*OH, YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL!*
...and this month's Watering Can Song is "ATOMIC" by BLONDIE. So, when you hear that pulsating disco beat and that heroic guitar riff, you know it's time to get wet!

*ADMISSION PRICES*
Regular admission is £7 (i.e. if you can‘t even be bothered to pick up a flyer, bring some sort of concessionary ID, or wear an SB badge). However, for very early birds, it's just £4 BEFORE 9.30pm, and if you come with a flyer (printable version: http://www.staybeautifulclub.co.uk/eflyer.htm), NUS/DSS card or a Stay Beautiful badge, it's just £5 ALL NIGHT!
