NEW: Wasted Youth Album Memorialize - The singles Collection 79-82
The Bridge House in Canning Town London, home of Bridgehouse Records and Bridgehouse Publishing........................
The Bridgehouse was the seminal rock venue in East London throughout the seventies and eighties and a regular home to such bands as Iron Maiden, Depeche Mode, The Blues Band and Secret Affair as well as the Bridgehouse generated Wasted Youth. The Bridgehouse shut its doors to live music in 1982 and was bulldozed into the ground a couple of years ago. Twenty years after its close the Bridgehouse is still remebered by those that played and visited it. The seminal Bridgehouse album Mods Mayday 79 is about to be re-released to an entirely new generation of music lovers. A generation who will sadly never experience the unique live experience that was the Bridgehouse pub, the first pub in the world with its own record label.
THE RETURN OF THE BAT
Specimen will bring their special brand of glam mayhem, The Batcave to London again.
After last year’s wildly-successful 25th anniversary Batcave event, The Batcave returns to its original spawning ground of London’s West End on Sunday July 19 for another night of blasphemy, lechery and blood.
Specimen (Fresh from a fantastic show at Leipzig’s Waves Gotik festival), the original Batcave instigators will headline the lurid frolics at the Embassy Club, (29 Old Burlington St, London W1S3AP) Also on the bill are original Batcavers Sexbeat, with DJs Hamish and Cavey Nick, cavorting from decks to decadence with the usual brutal, trouser-dropping surprises & suitably confronting & barbaric entertainment.
The 2009 Batcave will feature installations from exciting new artists of the ‘Dark London Underground’ and visuals from the upcoming ‘Welcome To The Batcave’ book, along with this year’s bitcrushed message from the creature in the Batcave Pram. All set in a spooky Bladerunner environment!
So dress to kill … prepare for a thrill & Expect the unexpected!
The Batcave will be open from 10pm till 3am. Tickets £15 available from www.ticketweb.co.uk and Resurrection Records.
