Born In The Doorway

My new blog, even more half naked (??) and now borderless and crowned by my algae rhythmic peacock splattered legs and AWOL MONK'S trademark fetish astro turf! Hooray! The grief imposed on me by my last blogspot's seemingly random broken link issues and image display refusals pushed me to the limit but unfortunately blogspot gives the most user control out of the big names so it retains its hold upon me. Alas a slightly different URL and a new beginning!

What better way to begin than by plugging Punk Monk Propaganda's newest upcoming adventure: BORN IN THE DOORWAY. The Factory Theatre will provide housing for a playground event featuring a bunch of bands including Hailer and The Prayer Circle plus lashings of psychotropic liquid light love from Punk Monk's own Kate and Alex.

Ask Not What Your Gig Can Do For You......

This event is about collaboration, interaction and beautification. We invite you to bring along those ideas whirl pooling in your minds and with the inspiring grooves splatter some life and colour into what promises to definitely not be a traditional live music night.

"We are not a passive audience, and we don’t think you should be either. Art doesn’t need to be a one-way broadcast from the stage to a faceless crowd. We believe in happenings where the multi-directional creativity between every person in the room is unleashed and allowed to play free." (Kate Taylor, Punk Monk Propaganda)

We've just been at TINA and we are excited about experimenting with fresh ways of converging new media artforms and correlations, lo-fi/dyi dreamweavings and interacting soundscapes and live, spontaenous creativity. We are excited about the new and unknown.

Everyone is guarunteed involvement but a callout is on NOW so if you have some sexy skills or you're as excited by the vibe as we are (looking for anything that challenged perceptions/experiments with interaction, is pretty, clever or relevant, then check out further details or contact me direct: clare@punk-monk.com. Collaborators get in free!!

Come engage in a live diy sculpture of recycled goods Reverse Garbage style, discover alternative guerrilla activities to take home and colour our city with, help us rebirth the traditions of snail mail, mix tapes and hand made books. Leave your mark all over the factory!

Make this something you actually go to.

Tickets here or at the door or keep your eyes peeled for comps and giveaways such as here.
