Olya Sonica has a new single, “You Only Live Forever (YOLF)” out now and shows in the U.K. next week, so, to celebrate, she put together a special Britpop-themed show last night at Hotel Ziggy. Izzy Outerspace opened. Olya played a full set with her new single and then brought together a group of friends for a set of Britpop covers with various vocalists, including Blur “Song 2,” Pulp “Disco 2000,” The Verve “Bittersweet” and multiple Oasis songs. They finished with a singalong of “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” of course.
Oh, yeah, and I DJed too. Dug through my Britpop stash and managed to pull out some tunes that I haven’t played in a long time. Some I haven’t played in a really long time, like maybe not since the Bang! days. Check out the set list below and maybe I’ll see you tonight at Club Underground’s Pulp Party.
