Late-night emo party with Black Parade playing 00s emo anthems and Mantra playing BMTH songs in room 2.
Black Parade are taking over The Sugarmill on Saturday 21 November, and they're bringing a second room with them. The main event is a night of 00's emo anthems, so the whole evening is built around the music of that era. If you spent your teens with a fringe over one eye and a MySpace page full of bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and The Used, you'll know exactly what's on the menu.
What makes this one a bit more than a single dancefloor is the second room. While Black Parade handles the main room, Mantra is running a Bring Me The Horizon party in room two. It's a smart split: the main room stays in the emo-pop and post-hardcore territory of the mid-2000s, while the other room leans into the heavier, more modern sound BMTH helped shape. If you find yourself drifting between the two, you can switch from the singalong choruses of the main room to the heavier stuff in room two without leaving the building.
It's a late one, too. The night runs from 11:00pm right through to 4:00am, so there's plenty of time to work your way through both rooms. If you're heading in with a group, it's the kind of night where you can spend a few hours in one room and then migrate to the other when the mood shifts.
