Offbeat -adj. 1 not

What are we?
Offbeat is Warwick University's Indie/Alternative music society. If you're
a fan of indie, punk, new rave, electro, folk,
hip-hop, post-rock or post-punk you should find yourself at home with us.
The main impetus of the society is to allow indie/alt. kids to meet each
other on campus - from experience we know how hard it can be to find
people with similar interests.
What do we do?
We arrange socials which vary from pre-Electric City banter, gig trips
(most recently Los Campesinos! and Misty’s Big Adventure) and a variety of
our own discos and gigs in venues on campus and around Coventry and
Leamington. We also sometimes team up with other societies at Warwick to
jointly run nights such as the legendary Last Exit event at the Kasbah,
which provides a fantastic alternative end-of-year bash for anyone who
can't quite stomach the usual campus cheesefests!
Who are we?
Have a look on our forum and you'll find lots of people currently involved
in the running of Offbeat. We're always available, either through the
forum or Facebook/Myspace, and want to meet you. If you want (and are at
Warwick) you can be on the exec, standing, ready and waiting with a bag
full of posters and 7" singles. Just get in touch with us and get to know
us and you're away! Interested in DJing? We can help you there too, If
you’ve ever thought ‘I could do better...’ on a night out then now is your
chance!
How can I get involved?
The most important thing about Offbeat is it’s your society. Local club
nights are always a fantastic night out but you can’t turn up to DJ or
make suggestions that will actually be acknowledged. If you’d like a theme
disco (previously we’ve had Smiths/Morrissey and Radiohead nights that
went down a storm) then pop over to our forum and let us know
