Happy New Year, bitches!

Bitches Be Crazy is back for 2012: same Bitch time, same Bitch channel.

If you need a little sojourn away from the sobriety of dreary January, your best bet this BBC: there’s a 99% chance you will lose your shit every time a track starts playing, the music is just that good.

Confirmed DJs on the night are Alex, Una, Bucko, plus the fabulous Joey Kavanagh (@thebubbleboy and sphericalnotions).

The usual rules apply: BYOB. Doors 9pm. €5 before 10pm, €10 thereafter.

Here’s what you missed last time around: Bitches Be Hazy.

And here’s a guess at the kind of sounds you’re likely to hear. Maybe. (It’s just a guess.)

Azealia Banks – “212” ft. Lazy Jay

Scissor Sisters “Shady Love” ft Azealia Banks

Adrian Lux feat. The Good Natured – “Alive” (Basto Radio Edit) (Official Video)

Rihanna – “We Found Love” ft. Calvin Harris
(Skip to 48 seconds in.)

SBTRKT – “Pharaohs” ft. Roses Gabor

DJ Earworm Mashup – “United State of Pop 2011” (World Go Boom)
(Maybe.)

You may hear these sounds. Or you may not. I don’t know.

You’ll just have to head along to find out whether my predictions are correct!

Yesterday morning, in the aftermath of Bitches Be Crazy’s Christmas hoe-down, bitches were seriously hazy.

A gaggle of mates and I gathered to meet at the Spire in Dublin on Friday night, before making our way to the club. I’d been meaning to get to Bitches Be Crazy since I first heard about it in its previous home on Thomas Street. So we were first timers, each and every one of us.

As we stumbled out into the cold wee hours of Saturday morning some time later, none of us would shut the hell up about how great the music was, how great the crowd was, how positive the vibe was, how Dublin – nay, Ireland – shouldn’t have had to wait until 2011 for a club like this to come along.

In the past, we’ve had “alternative” club nights, which have promised much and delivered little. (Q+A, I’m looking at you.) After years of disappointment, our patience has finally been rewarded.

Thanks to all the crazy bitches for throwing an epic party!

And now that we’ve recovered, here are some of the highlights from the night.

(If you missed it, believe me, you seriously missed out.)

And finally, the highlight to beat all highlights:

• You know a club is run by women when there are ample supplies of toilet roll for the whole night.

1. Summertime and the Bitches Be Crazy

Bitches Be Crazy, Dublin’s best queer pop-up DIY night, is back for the holidays! And this time, Bitches Be Crackers.

The party takes place this Friday, 16th December. Doors 9pm. It’s a fiver in before 10pm, and €10 after that. Bring your own booze and get loco. (Bitches be recession-aware.)

According to Le Cool’s Emily O’Callaghan, Bitches Be Crazy came into being after a conversation between organisers Katie Guinnane and Vickey Curtis about the absence of alternative and less expensive club nights.

Originally held in The Jam Factory on Thomas Street, the party has since moved northside. DJs include Ragin, Nic’la, Kay-Z, Corina Gaffey, Ashley, and more.

Confirm you’re attending via Facebook to get the full details.

Here are some photies from Bitches past:
