how to pre pre drink

That is the pre drink, before the pre drink, before the club. To get involved you'll need cheap cider, 3 for £10 4 pack beers, face paint, bad teeth, a cake and a lot of nerve. Heres how we put our ingredients to use:

Step 1: Apply vomit inducing, borderline racist yellow face paint whilst carefully taking swigs from your £7.27 bottle of asda dark rum.





Step 2: Add bad teeth and fake ears to the mix.




Step 3: Introduce the cake. Nothing beats cake and booze.



Voila! There you have our dysfunctional and slightly disturbing take on the pre pre drink. You'll know it was successful when your crouched over a sink in the toilets of a dive club at 2am, frantically rubbing yellow paint off your face until you only look slightly jaundiced - rather than a dickhead.


P.S. we actually went out looking like this.

mmmmpohhh

Apparently it doesn't take just milkshake to bring the boys to the yard. Cargo reckon it takes a bit of live music, DJ's tearing up the wheels of steel and even candyfloss and popcorn! Did I also forget to mention its all for free? I'm game as they definitely know the way to this boys heart, but the real reason why I'm excited comes in the form of genre-defying MPHO. She first came under my radar when she opened for Mr Hudson in Manchester last month and didn't fail to impress.  Sure, her debut single 'BoxNLocks' is strong - a slick electronic pop tune with an urban edge that almost seems it was written specifically for droptop-down convertible mustang driving. But it was seeing perform her rendition of Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' (above) live that plucked some heartstrings, and live is where MPHO really comes into her element. So do what you must to get down to Cargo tonight, or miss this at your musical peril.
