The Autumn Store is Birmingham's night of classic and new indiepop, DIY pop, modern left-field indie type stuff, C86, and other songs we think sound pretty.

It was started in January 2006 by a cat called Wembley (pictured) although a devious mouse by the name of Minty tries to thwart his every lovable plot (not pictured - he's simply TOO devious to be caught on camera).

The night is sometimes a DJ night only we mainly put on bands and do the indiediscodancing thing afterwards into the early hours.

The type of music played goes something along the lines of: The Postal Service · The Pipettes · Belle & Sebastian · Stars · I'm From Barcelona · The Field Mice · The Shins · Pavement · Camera Obscura · Architecture In Helsinki · Kenickie · Teenage Fanclub · The Retro Spankees · Stereolab · Mclusky · Orange Juice · American Analogue Set · Broken Social Scene · Saint Etienne · The Smiths · The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart · Half Man Half Biscuit ·
