Underachievers Please Try Harder (was a distinctly different indie/ alternative club and gig night based in Manchester) : 2008 - 2013
Manchester, UK
Joined July 2010
20 years ago I was watching REM headline Glastonbury. A thought that dawned on me whilst lying on the floor in a tiny room of a static caravan waiting for a hot and overtired toddler to get to sleep. Playing Duggee songs to drown out the nearby karaoke. Life comes at you quick.

Hope you enjoy it as the best we can do. Maybe even have your own kitchen indie disco at home! 🐶

However, thanks to a lot of time on Avanti trains the last couple of weeks, I have done a playlist to mark it. Think of it as what Underachievers would sound like if it still existed today.

As much as we would have liked to have done a big reunion night, we do not have time or energy to even attend a clubnight at the moment, let alone organise and promote one.

Wanna feel old? The last ever Underachievers was 10 (yes, 10) years ago today!

I have been waiting for this day for 18 months and now I can’t even celebrate it properly because Spurs did something even worse than hiring Jose Mourinho. YOU ARSEHOLES, TOTTENHAM.
Breaking: Tottenham have sacked Jose Mourinho. Full story to follow @TeleFootball #thfc

Such sad news about @DeafInstitute & @thisisgorilla. In particular, @DeafInstitute felt like a game changer of a venue. Promoted a few of our favourite shows there and ten years ago went to a gig there at least weekly. All of these bands would say how amazing it was to play.

We would never break the £5 barrier.
Would pay £25 entry for a night of @underachievers_ at this moment.

Only thing I can think of is he knows the regular salads are a full 40p cheaper in the Piccadilly one. Bit stingey for a billy big bollocks lawyer though.

Been watching that Stranger show on Netflix. So far the biggest mystery is why the old man leaves his office on Hardman Sq (Spinningfields) to go all the way to the Philpotts by Piccadilly Gardens. There’s a Philpotts literally right next to his office!

Just as I was starting to come to terms with this...😢

Etihad is the worst stadium to leave as an away fan. Police need to separate and control this better, stupid. It’s not the 70s anymore.

I feel like I tweet this a lot, so I apologise, but once again, just like every time: the technology works. The rule is ridiculous. In fact, better still: the technology works so well that it has highlighted just how ridiculous the rule is.

Will never not be annoyed by that decision. I know we offered little but neither did Liverpool. It changed the game in the 2nd min and it was absolute bollocks.
