the bang bang club relaunches this saturday 14th november
at electric circus, market street edinburgh....
£5 entry - 10pm - 3am
laying down the gauntlet as one of the most important clubnights in the capital, ran & participated by some of the finest rocking 'n' rolling radge bastards in edinburgh....
this month, wrecking the decks we have DJs OMEGAMALE, THE REGENT, KRIS WASABI (wasabi disco), TALL PAUL (the go-go) & as ever the fine, sublime and synced in time VJ talents of iMAN4D...
commencing our new monthly residency at the heavenly electric circus, we invite you to come along, and not just show your support for something that edinburgh's club scene is definitely lacking, we invite you to be part of the best gang in town.... we are serious about music, we know you are too...
so.....
while it seems it's all the rage to promote a club with a manifesto at the moment here's ours....
WE WILL NOT PIGEON HOLE THE BANG BANG CLUB WITH A GENRE OR CLASSIFICATION:
our setlists & patrons are eclectic, we will not tell you what to wear or how to behave, we leave that up to the music and how it affects you...
coming to the bang bang club will not make you "cool", it is more likely that it will make you want to get absolutely fucked up and dance like a maniac.
WE WILL NOT PROMISE DEAD EYED GIRLS PARADING ABOUT WITH THEIR TITS OUT:
if this occurs, we can assure you that they paid to get in. the bang bang club is a "burlesque" free zone...
WE WILL PLAY A WELCOMED SELECTION OF MUSIC THAT WE CAN SAFELY GUARANTEE YOU WILL NOT HEAR IN ANY OTHER CLUB WE KNOW OF:
this will frequently mean music you know and love and dance in your pants to, music that probably shouldn't be played in clubs, yet sounds so fucking awesome through a mighty P.A. system. the bang bang club is all about the music, anything else that happens there is a byproduct of the music. we take requests.... WE WILL NOT PLAY THE STONE ROSES SO YOU CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF IF YOU ASK!
WE ARE WELL AWARE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S "DRINKAWARE" CAMPAIGN:
we don't give a fuck about it, in fact... we have designed our very own cocktail the "kiss kiss bang bang" and are pretty sure that the absolutely beautiful and friendly staff at electric circus will be only too happy to serve these gorgeous drinks and many others to the friendly music loving bang bang gang all night, we do however abhor puking, breakages, spillages and antisocial behavior, other than that... please... be as perverted as you like...
WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH TWO ROOMS OF COMPLETELY CONTRAPUNTAL MUSIC:
the main room will be belting out up-tempo, unavoidably enjoyable tried and tested and quite often guilty favourites, whilst in one of our VIP suites we will introduce you to "THE ERECTION SECTION" - a luxurious, comfortable room blasting out the heaviest most chilled out music you simply would ever expect to hear in a nightclub, here we invite you to grope/slowdance/kiss/gouge away/converse/perv/act like there is no tomorrow...
ACID FASCISTS + THE KNAVEMEN + ALKOTRON will be delivering a garage-punk, rock'n'roll assault... Henry's Cellar Bar, Edinburgh. Friday 2nd October. 11PM. www.myspace.com/theknavemen www.myspace.com/alkotron
THE FIVE ACES ROCKIN’ DANCE PARTY. A night of rockin’ soul, rock n’ roll and rhythm & blues featuring live music from The Five Aces, The Bottleneckers and The Privates Hammond Orchestra. Mikey Collins will be DJing which makes this an unofficial pre club to the last night of the mod weekender. Tickets £5. Doors at 7pm, 1st band onstage at 7.45pm sharp Last band offstage by 10pm latest.
With cosmic gay disco, burning acid house and all sorts of nonsense from HONEY SWEETCHEEKS (Black Jesus Records) and HOUSE OF TRAPS (Firecracker Records).
