GASH is More than a collective - Its a state of mind.
GASHcollective was an idea stumbled across many years ago now.
There are many Myths & Legends surrounding the first GASH Party.
We were all fed up with the dire state of the Manchester/Bolton Scene, and the domineering presence of commercial clubs and music venues.
We decided to do something about it.
Starting off with small squat parties and gigs, we have grown from strength to strength and have since put on some of the biggest music events this area has ever seen.
The idea has always been to ignite a spark... to get other people involved with creating our own scene, instead of complaining about the state of the current one.
GASH has never been about one style of music... The People involved have diverse tastes, ranging from Punk, Ska and Reggae, to Rock, Metal and HC, To Drum n Bass, Techno and Trance.
We just want to get pissed and have fun in relaxed and autonomous environments filled with like minded people.
We have put on touring bands from all over the world. We have taken our Sound System On tour. We have collaborated with other collectives to bring some of the most diverse parties we have ever seen. We have taken over Abandoned buildings, Open woodland, a myriad of Pubs and Clubs to bring something very special... A genuinely good time. Parties teetering on the edge of chaos, held together by a common consensus to look out for each other and work together to create something beautiful.
We are not done having fun yet.. This is just the beginning.
I hope everyone's enjoying the lovely weather! Just a quick reminder, our new single 'The Concrete We're Trapped Within (It's Yours)' is released on Monday 6th July!
