Sub Pop was the grunge label, right?” That’s right-the original home to Nirvana, Soundgarden and Mudhoney, incredible bands. And 15 years after the rest of America draped itself in fashionable, grungy flannels (and then promptly took them to the thrift stores where they always belonged), Sub Pop is again one of the top music companies in the land, with artists racking up Saturday Night Live appearances and Grammy nominations.
In fact, while much of the music industry has been desperately trying to put the brakes on declining sales, Sup Pop has been giving away music by top-sellers and working with unorthodox business models.

So what does, Oh Inverted World mean? Well, dear reader, it is a club night in London that likes their music a little bit alt, a little bit folk, a little bit rock, a little bit indie, a little bit psych and a little bit awesome.
Over the past years they’ve had the likes of Filthy Dukes, Luke Pritchard (The Kooks), Paloma Faith, Eugene McGuinness, Kyte, Stricken City, Goldheart Assembly, Josh Weller, exlovers, Derek Meins, My Tiger My Timing, Anna Calvi, My Sad Captains, La Shark, Little Death and many, many more. There’s been cakes, there’s been police, there’s been laughter, there’s been far too much wine, but mostly there’s been amazing amazing music.
