Britpop party

I'm having a party. Well, we're having a party. My house. Me, Rob and Martin. Martin doesn't know about it yet, of course, because he's still living somewhere in Lincolnshire. But he's still having a party with us anyway. Now, here at our house, we throw good parties. And we don't like to do them the same as anyone else. We like to have fancy dress themes, but not the usual kind; oh no, there's no 1960s/1970s themes for us. No pimps and ho's (as is often the case here in Leeds, for some reason). We don't do Hawaiian or 80s parties. There's certainly no open fancy dress. So, what do we do? Well, the theme for our up and coming party is britpop. The revival of great British indie music in the 1990s. We only have a small house, but it will become the greatest venue in Leeds for my band, another local band, Speakeasy and Leeds Student Radio legend, Steve Darke. We will have a live video link from the basement (where the bands will be) to a projector screen upstairs, so that everyone can watch even when the basement is full. There will be a selection of the finest britpop music, and much reminiscing. But there's a problem. A lot of people can't decide who to go to the party as. They must come as a member of a britpop band, but there were a lot of bands, and not everyone can remember who they all were. Suggestions for party goers on the comments board, please!

Sounds rad, mark! Don't have too too much fun...being all cool...and British...and cool.
Maybe when you come we'll have a Celine Dion party! Hahaha...
I dare the Salvator Darlings to cover one of her songs.
