The Local teams up with Djungeltrumman to help point you in the right direction if you're planning a night out in Stockholm this Saturday.

Bangers´n´Mash

100 kronor
Age: 23 and over
Website

Inseparable Anglophiles Robert Plaszczyk and Magnus Carlson (Weeping Willows) run the incredibly popular Bangers'n'Mash club together with former Ride guitarist and current Oasis bassist Andy Bell

Every second Saturday they get the dancefloor moving to the baggiest Madchester, singalong Britpop and ravetastic acid house for all the Stockholm geezers in need of more excitement in their lives.

They have also brought over a steady flow of celebrities from England, including previous guests Mani, Peter Hook, Carl Barat, Dot Allison and Ian McCulloch.

Tonight

Major party as Bangers presents the official release party for new Oasis album Dig Out Your Soul. Guest behind the decks is none other than Mani from Primal Scream and, formerly, The Stone Roses.

Residents Magnus Carlson & Robert Plaszczyk are also joined by old mod baron Fredrik Ekander.


Falling and Laughing

7pm - 3am
160 kronor

Website

Rock journalist Terry Ericsson named his club after the old Orange Juice classic, which Terpan himself calls the best indie song ever written.

One Saturday every month Terry plays his records at Debaser (Medis). The dance floor is usually fantastic and there are alway promising new live bands.

Terry and Robert Krus are resident DJs on the main dancefloor, while Sara Martinsson and Fredrik Bergh play in the bar.

Tonight

Live performance from M83 from France.

Klubb Gås

Address: Bar 122, Folkungagatan 122
10pm - 3am

The Gås (goose) guys continue to spread the word of rock on Fridays and Saturdays at Bar 122, just a bit away from Folkungagatan.

Resident DJs - Mr Jubran on Fridays and Julius Berlin on Saturdays - keep things moving with a heady blend of rock, garage, punk rock, '77 punk, stoner, and indie rock.


Vassa Lördag

Address: Vassa Eggen, Birger Jarlsgatan 29
10pm - 2am
Free entry
Age: 23 and over

Over the last few years Vassa Eggen has gradually begun to take over as the most obvious hangout for the city's pub-going hip-hop and nightclub audience.

Every weekend the bar on the outer edge of the Stureplan area is full to bursting with all the old regulars from Riche/East/Annakhan/Berns/Floras Kulle, who love dancing on the bar to everything from old school hip-hop to Baltimore club, soul, funk, disco and electro.

Among the most frequent DJs are people like DJ Taro, KärleksJohan, A Lowe Thing, Thomas LA, Myggan, Jeppe Körsbär and Hackenbush.
