University of Sheffield's student-run alternative music society. Putting on gigs since 2011. If you like what you hear, get involved!

Welcome to the page for the University of Sheffield's very own Music Culture Society! We're an inclusive bunch of music lovers who listen to great tunes from across the whole musical spectrum - anything goes. As a society we put on gigs, organise parties, run a radio show, host an album club and generally have a lot of fun. Simply come to one of our meetings or send us a message. Artists that we've worked with in the past include Jackie Moonbather, Laurel Halo, Visionist, Iglooghost, Slugabed, Bjorn Tørske, Richard Dawson, Melt-Banana, Shabazz Palaces, Japanther, Esben & the Witch, Teebs, Iceage, Led Bib, DD/MM/YYYY, Vessels, Mike Watt (Minutemen) and And So I Watch You From Afar, amongst many others..
