Change is a Sound, a benefit gig for the Aberdeen Poster Collective

As the Aberdeen Poster Collective is an anonymous group, all the bands will be playing under a different name; some might even come up with a slightly unusual set. The following bands/projects will be on stage:

Art Fuck are an electrifying splinter group flown in straight from Tibet. They claim to be the missing link between Jonathan Richman and Big Black.

Rockets Are Red is the alter ego of an infamous Aberdeen noise-rock outfit, bringing you a sound that will delight any fan of Fugazi, Shellac or the Birthday Party.
The monarchs of brutish punkrock are sending their military wing, The Youngbloods. Watch out, they won't take any prisoners!
The Meccano Set are guaranteed to entertain our audience with their fantastic blend of jazzy and easy-going sounds punctuated by an occasional surf edge.
Last but not least The Without Measure Project will bring you the Pixie-esque sounds of solo-artist RM performed by a complete band for the first time ever.

In-between the bands, our invisible Poster DJ is going to give you an insight into the record collections of the Aberdeen Poster Collective. There will be info leaflets to spread the word of the poster campaign, kind of an 'exhibition' of our posters and maybe even a projection of posters, art and film excerpts (we're still working on that one, technology technology...).

Hopefully this sounds interesting?! ;) Thanks so much to the team from Dr Drake's and all the bands for making this possible!!! We hope to see you all on Thursday, May 13th, joining us when we'll turn our little conspiracy into one big party! :)

Location:
The event will take place at Dr Drake's Bar (62 Shiprow) on Thursday, May 13th 2004. Doors open at 7.30 pm

Cost: Entrance only 2 pounds!

Free Meal at L.I.N.K.

The purpose of L.I.N.K., the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen, is to provide a pleasant, safe place for the hungry or lonely to share a free, nutritious meal and the companionship of one another.
