If weirdness, sex, drugs and books are your idea of a good time (and why shouldn’t they be?), you have probably heard of Bret Easton Ellis. The author has now, twenty-five years after Less Than Zero, written a sequel that follows the teens of his breakout novel into middle age.  He will be reading excerpts from Imperial Bedrooms at Kaufleuten and I can guarantee at least two of your favourite things to be on show. I also have 3x2 tix to give away. Email me.
Friday 8 pm, Kaufleuten

I first heard about The Invisible back in 2008 and they have been generating quite a bit of attention back in the UK since then. Their debut album even being nominated for a Mercury prize last year. The boys now bring their funky space-pop to Zurich and it’ll be good to see if my predictions for greatness were justified. My Ron-dar for these things is rarely wrong! See what you think. I have 2x2 tix to give away. Email me.
Friday 10 pm, Exil

Dj’s from Alte Börse and Mascotte will give you cover. Dance like no one’s watching and let your stupid flag fly.
