Burning Idiot Noise to enter Kosmische orbit this Sunday

Mon Oncle Ignatius

21:25 / 06.03.06

It's true - at last, Barbelith's own BIN come to Shoreditch* on Sunday 12th March to play live at the Kosmische Club. It's upstairs at the Old Blue Last on the junction of Curtain Road and Great Eastern Street from 8pm, and entrance will be a mere three of your earth pounds to you, freaks.

All that and DJs Sacha Dieu and Woebot playing some rare electronic music from Eighties Germany (and believe me that is a good thing) plus the Kosmische stalwarts, probably including myself, playing the unusually usual spacey stuff to encourage your head to go "ping" and your feet to shuffle.

The flyer's pretty nice too...

*We're not at all trendy, really. Honest.

At last, something good (and too good to miss) on a Sunday (it can somewhat suck, working 6 nights a week). Consider me there...

He's got the moves, he's got the moustachios... you'dd be a fool not to go.

Hooray! Come along cos we're hiring a van and everything to get there. It's gonna be rock 'n' roll. Were gonna smoke cigarettes and eat sweets like crazy in the back of that vehicle. I can't wait.

I can also guarantee that I will not be trendy in any way.

Gary Lactus

10:33 / 07.03.06

Oh yeah, we're playing in Brighton at the Freebutt on Saturday 11th if anyone wants to come. We're not hiring a van for that one but we should still rock if all goes according to plan.

I also can guarantee that Fraely will not in any way be trendy. I, however, will be rocking at least four different haircuts on the day, and at the same time.

Well Weapon. Fuckin' Empire. T'riffic.

I reckon I'll be there for the rockin'.

Hooray! At last, someone who digs gigs on Sundays.

I'm still waiting for confirmation as to when we kick out - they're going 'til 1.30am on Saturdays at the OBL, but we'll see how the end of weekend timings run.

I shall grace you with my presence. I still have to sort out Nuneaton for knocking up my sister.

Gary Lactus

13:11 / 07.03.06

Yeah, that's gonna be one fucked up kid. A midget with a massive head. Bit like MODOK with impressive facial hair, I reckon.

I still have to sort out Nuneaton for knocking up my sister.

Please keep all sorting out beyond the boundaries of the premises - though onstage bare-knuckle brawling could be considered in keeping with both the Lord Savage's muttonchop whiskers plus any Victorian values they might inspire, and the vintage decor of the Old Blue Last.

However, as the bouncers are of the very hefty variety, I would suggest keeping things to verbal quips and sardonic ripostes where possible.

Heckling is good though. Particularly if it involves clever comments and asides to the crowd about moustaches.

lord nuneaton savage

14:52 / 09.03.06

Mac, I didn't knock UP your sister, I knocked OUT your sister. She asked me to.

She does have a massive head. It was hard to miss.

Gypsy Lantern

15:05 / 09.03.06

Cool, I'll try and make it along to this.

lord nuneaton savage

07:45 / 10.03.06

DOOOOO IIIIIIITT!!!!!

10:39 / 10.03.06

What time are they on roughly?

lord nuneaton savage

10:44 / 10.03.06

I believe we're on about 10.00pm.

lord nuneaton savage

13:58 / 10.03.06

OK, my last post before I leave work and the land of the intraweb for a couple of days.

My message? Come, or I will cocking cock you. Please.

See you there.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

10:24 / 11.03.06

Cock.

Yeah, reckon I'm up for it.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

14:21 / 11.03.06

In fact, scratch that. I've just been threatened with violence by TangoMango if I don't go, and I'm a wuss. I shall be there.

Mike Modular

23:42 / 13.03.06

Well, I had a great time - thanks all involved. Would have liked to have chatted more to Stoatie and TangoMango, but I kinda shied away (It's weird meeting/seeing your Barbeheroes...)

'Twas an odd night, with strange drunken hecklers and a shelf of spirits falling down behind the bar, but the music was all top-notch and I crave more Kosmische Klubbing (didn't get round to dancing this time)

I trust the absentees have been well and truly cocked by his Lordship, who was gearing up for a cocking spree last I saw of him...

Bugger I missed it... Perhaps we should set up a barbelith calender?

lord nuneaton savage

10:21 / 14.03.06

Oh yeah. I cocked like a demon after the gig.

Top laugh. We played well, had a great time and enjoyed making strange dance shapes to German electro. The two hecklers were really funny as well. My personal favourite heckle: "You must try harder!" Mighty strange.

Cheers to all who turned up and extra cheers to Tango-Mango for inviting us to play. Much appreciated people.

10:33 / 14.03.06

Well I felt like shit all day yesterday... usually the mark of a good night!

Nah, it was wicked. Could have done with a few more people, but BIN truly rocked. And meeting everyone was nice, too.

Haus of Mystery

11:05 / 14.03.06

Indeed it was. Me and the good Lord throwing shapes like drunken Geometry teachers...the Eurohecklers...the pure and simple joy of good honest goblin rock. I fucked myself falling over an amp, and we all got twatted on wine in the back of the van on the way home. Aces!

lord nuneaton savage

14:07 / 14.03.06

Consider yourself officially a roadie, old boy.

Mon Oncle Ignatius

17:26 / 16.03.06

That was lots of fun, especially the drunken punks and their demands for another song just after your first one...

Shame about numbers, but that's Sundays I suppose.

good to see you all, BIN people: we'll do it again sometime soon.

It's been quite a week for Barbelith-related gigs (BIN Sunday, MB Wednesday) - hmmm, that gives me an idea!

lord nuneaton savage

07:52 / 17.03.06

Get to it, fella! Stoatie told me to hassle you about the Barbe-gig, and by all the Gods I shall.

Haus of Mystery

11:58 / 17.03.06

I'll do the poster.

GET ON THE BUS!

Gary Lactus

09:51 / 18.03.06

So, forgive me for being big and thick, who would be on the bill for this Gig?

Mon Oncle Ignatius

14:55 / 18.03.06

Why, Barbebands, of course!

Subject to them being asked. So BIN so far, but probably time for me to start a thread and get some more on board.
