IT CAME FROM THE SEA #10
WELCOME TO SATAN'S GROTTO

THE HANBURY BALLROOM
FRI 12 DEC 10PM-2AM > £5/4/3

the final came-from-the-sea performance-art-party of 2003 goes down
like rudolph in a no-fly zone THIS FRIDAY 12.12.03.

come along to The Guardian's #1 CLUB OF THE WEEK for a
once-in-a-monthtime near-life-experience - as nikon driver &
kicking_k shoot musical bullets at yr feet and COMMAND YOU TO DANCE.

expect a tediously predictable seasonal theme made bearable by actual
PRE-XMAS GIFTS ON EVERY TABLE (first come, first served), pretty
tinsel and tearable, wearable wrapping paper, crackers, party hats,
SNOW... also, we'll be hanging up a couple of stockings in the vain
hope our devoted legions of uber-fans might wanna reward us in some
trifling, token way for a year's worth of HARD LABOUR (suggestions:
fruit, nuts, car keys...)

and just to seal the deal - in a thinly-disguised attempt at bribery
- we're resurrecting the £3 mailing list deal for the festive season.
simply tell alex, on the door, yr email addy (as featured on this
list) and proceed to bar (via stocking).

for those intending to remain seated, visuals come in the form of
none-more-buzzy 'interstalla 5555', daft punk's anime house musical.

lastly, please note: despite the jokesomely misleading posters and/or
flyers we've been distributing around town, THERE IS NO ICFTHS IN
JANUARY. we will return, fat, tanned and complacent, for our 1ST
BIRTHDAY SPECIAL in february. so get yr fix NOW - 'cause next month
there ain't nothin' but cold turkey...

ps: oh, yeah - the music... well, let's just say it's a selection box
for the ears: we've dug deep in the (virtual) crates for the trax that marked the defining moments of ICFTHS2003. the only constant is that they're heart-breakingly, groin-achingly good... we're talking OUTKAST,
DIZZEE RASCAL, CHICKS ON SPEED, !!!, MISSY ELLIOTT, AVENUE D, HOT HOT
HEAT, GOLDFRAPP, PEACHES, BASEMENT JAXX, THE RAPTURE, THE YEAH YEAH
YEAHS, SCISSOR SISTERS, RELAXED MUSCLE, DFA, 50 CENT, FANNYPACK, THE
LIARS, JAY-Z, TIGA, TIMBALAND, PINK GREASE, KELIS, RICHARD X, VITALIC
and THE NEPTUNES. every one of those names will get a play. THIS IS
NOT A DRILL.

pps: stick around till the end if you wanna witness 'YEAH!' the NEW
ten-minute punk-funk-acid-anthem by LCD SOUNDSYSTEM blitz the
ballroom. this record is gonna *OWN* 2004.

AAAAAAARRRGGGGHHHH! I can neither afford to come down, nor can I juggle other commitments... And you have conspired to make this one sound utterly fabulous.

Please, people, if you're reading this and and you can make it, do so. Do it for 'Yeah' at least. You will not be disappointed.

We came, we saw, it rocked.

much dancing. Fucking fantastic sets by auto & nikon. There was flirting, there was dancing. Beautiful people. Dance-offs breaking out all over the shop.

There was the now-legendary 'circle of love' at the end of the night. It was beautiful, man.

We wended our way home, cockles thoroughly warmed.

The deejays are almost certainly wastering about at some hipster party...

Couldn't make it, but will be looking out for your Feb dates to see if I can make it. Plums keeps on shouting at me that I should go ("There's comfy seats where you can sit down and tap your feet in time with the music in a dignified manner") so I really have to make it a New Years Resolution.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
14:05 / 13.12.03
yay! And I was only coming in here to *ask* if fun was had...

One day, one day... I probably still won't come. But I'm there in spirit. All the time. I can see you.

Get in touch, auto. Have plans!

You're scared now, aren't you?
