Buttoned Down Disco at KOKO, May 2017
The first night was in October 2002. The location of the club was revealed after an electronic invitation was requested. A pioneering concept[2] at the time. In 2006, Buttoned Down Disco became a resident at KOKO.[3][4][5][6][7][8] Buttoned Down Disco has also taken place in major festivals including Glastonbury,[9]Lovebox, Reading[10] and Latitude.[11]
Buttoned Down Disco took its name from the third track from Cornershop's disco inspired album Disco and the Halfway to Discontent as part of their side-project, Clinton. The club then influenced the song "M.R.S.T." by The Electric Riot where "Buttoned Down Discos" were mentioned in the lyrics.[12]
