Daisy Von Howl (HOWL club)

About me:

Me; I like tattoos, comics and punk rock - simple! Look out for a new blog I'm starting.. 'Around the World in 80 Howls' Howl; is named after the Allen Ginsberg poem - I am a fan of American contemporary writing and the Beat poets. Howl was born from the air of desperation I felt from sitting on the door of an East london club, feeling dismayed by the same twee, retro bullshit they played every night. I felt there had to be more than this, more noise, more provocative inspiration I'd witnessed at events such as Silver Rocket, ATP and Upset The Rhythm, I thought I need to do this! So with the intention of creating a platform for left-field, interesting acts in an non-elitist environment I decided to start my own night. And the name? It's not just an appreciation for the poet but a comment on the alarming comparisions I drew from that poem whilst watching un-named indie twaddle walking in and out of the toilet and club 'loooking for an angry fix' which is a downfall of existing in an area, which for the most part, is creative and inspiring. I hope that in the short space of time Howl has been around I have achieved to host a number of eclectic and boundry pushing acts from grind-core, gabba, electronica, hard-core, doom, space rock, psyche and prog etc But whats in a name? As long as there is boundry pushing, thought provoking acts out there and a place for them to exist and perform outside the corporate mainstream...I'm happy.
