Scrapclub

we’ve been scouting round the under/over belly of london towne scouring it from the unwanted objects that people so beautifully and so casually dispose of and here are some pics from our recent haul for SC12…

so here’s the venue as we’ve originally found it….

…we’ve no idea how it’ll really pan out on the night itself but the space lends itself well to what have in mind….here’s the kind of haul’s we’re beginning to find….a deadstack….almost like human cadavers for trainee surgeons :

here’s joel with a liftfull of the stuff….kindly donated to us by xxxxxxxxxx

….more to come…

reject technology awaiting mutation through the loving force of destruction into amorphous beauty and dust

what about the fate of the rejects
the last cries for salvation
absolution through the hammer

the neon bleed and the glistening jolt of finality
the shuttered crack of solder that was but never was
as my determined gesture meets your electro pulse, you will understand my revenge

they yield for that which will forever abolish their utility and return them to base material

we’re currently having some tech problems with our mailout so bear with us on info about the up and coming night on the 21st of May….it’ll be sorted soon

w

has been an interesting one….a different venue – smaller than we’re used to so both joel and i were convinced it’d be a much more intense experience….i was predicting some mild audience blood loss but it turned out the only person who needing any treatment from our first aiders was Joel himself….we had 3 or 4 side-acts planned for the night but they all pulled out on us last minute – frustrating to say the fucking least…nevertheless, the night isn’t about detours – and we know why people come to Scrapclub….

i took a couple of snaps of us scouring for junk and here’s a hotspot we found :….

now thats a goddamn horde right there ! – John Power (SC deity – lord and outstanding drunk provider of white goods and beyond) did us well….here’s Joel carting some of it in our van…

….and me feeling spiritualised now that we’re in possession….…

lugging it all was backbreaking, especially some of the stranger and heavier bits of equipment we found this time round which included large centrifuges, lens cutters, and cryo vases, but actually joel and i have taken to enjoying the rigorous workout involved….this is how it looked in place at Stamford Works with my word chair in the middle of the space….…you can check out pics and vids on the night but here’s a pic of Yoshi at the final cleanup…..thank you Captain Yosh…you were outstanding

Project Dark have been confirmed as part of the next SC….expect exploding record players and real honest-to-goodness fireworks

so, date for the next Scrapclub in london has been agreed…ooooh yaahh….got summat interesting lined up with our first time at the new venue….let’s see how it all pans out !

as you all can see, we’ve updated the site using Wordpress as a CMS….we’ve stuck in a video section now and we’ll be updating it with vids that we have from various SC’s….we’ve taken away the forum section since trying to integrate it with WP is a pain in the arse….we’ll come up with another solution soon…

next SC is happening within a few months….we’ll be in touch as soon as everything is confirmed..
