The Smiths' Andy Rourke DJ Set at White Room Saturday

Hey White Room. Long time no see. This is sort of embarrassing, because I used to talk about you all the time. Things seem to have cooled between us, but in reality I still think about you all the time and I don't want to see you leave.I saw that...

Hey White Room. Long time no see. This is sort of embarrassing, because I used to talk about you all the time. Things seem to have cooled between us, but in reality I still think about you all the time and I don't want to see you leave.

I saw that former bassist for The Smiths Andy Rourke will be spinning Saturday, so maybe a reunion is in order. Rourke might not be performing live tunes by his former band, but in recent years he has taken to DJing for XFM Manchester, so he's no stranger behind the decks (in fact, he was here back in April at the Electric Pickle).

So maybe we'll see each other this weekend, when doors open at 10 p.m. 21+ with ID, RSVP to [email protected] for free admission before midnight.
