Welcome to the Playlists section of the site where you can get a feel for the kind of incredible tunes which you can expect to hear upon your visit to Pinup Nights.November's Playlist
These are very fairly roughly the tunes we played at Pinup Nights at Stereo on Friday 7th November when Viva Stereo were launching their great 3rd album "Roar Lion Roar". It was a bit of a scramble for a venue and this meant that Pinups only started at 11, and the disco didn't get going until after Viva Stereo finished their performance round 1am. Cheers also to Licker for playing and going down very well.

August's Playlist
I was in Aviemore for August's Pinups (a stag night) so thanks very much to Kung Fu, Member of the Wedding and Lean Tales for playing live. The chat is that Kung Fu dished out an amazingly good rendition of "Psycho Killer", nice one. Reports that Rory from Member of the Wedding was sliding along the dancefloor on his knees to Aztec Camera are unconfirmed at this point.
From what I hear the disco took off around about Dolly Parton's "Jolene" (what a T-U-N-E!!) and didn't look back. Thanks to 200 of you for making it along! After the slight weirdness that was The Beat Club, Pinups seems to be getting back to normal. While you were all living it up I was in a sticky carpeted "club" (more like "small shed") up north surrounded by angry scooping highlanders. Believe me, I kept my usual camp disco dancing well under wraps..
As usual the list below is a fairly accurate stab at what was played, but not necessarily in the right order. Apparently when James put on Wiley's "Wearing my Rolex" (weird I know, but we always try to meet requests!) Iain OC fled the DJ booth fearing for his life. It's not reported whether tough guy Higgy stood his ground or not!! But all's well that ends well...
