#1 - DISKO BLOODBATH PRESS RELEASE

From: Michael Nisbet
Sent: 12 October 2004 21:40
Subject: Disko Bloodbath: 4th November: Motherf**kin' Bloodbath

Disko Bloodbath @ eGo - Cocteau Lounge, Edinburgh's First Queer
Alternative Night, First Wednesday of Every Month, Next Date: 4th
November. £2 Entry. Drink Promos on Stella and Vodka all Night. eGo,
14 Picardy Place, Edinburgh. 07752 619670

After Disko Bloodbath's Electroclash frenzy in October, we've decided
to throw out the synthesizers and plug in the guitars for a full-on
mosh pit at Ego on November 4th.

Appearing will be the Riot-Grrrrl DJ sensations that are 'Daughters
of Kaos' (Zena & Beck) from London's premier queer indie night - Club
Motherfucker. It's going to be a crazy mix of the latest rock, indie
and punk aswell as the classics. In the past the grrrls have warmed
up for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and are soon jetting off to deliver their
inimitable filthy punk rock style to the NYC scene.

Disko Bloodbath has proved that there is life beyond discopop and RnB-
lite in the notoriously generic gay ghetto. A big hit with club kids
(packed to capacity every month) and the press alike (Club Choice in
Attitude, Gay Times, The List and Evening News) we at Bloodbath don't
want to conform to queer stereotypes.

Planet Out hosting the pre-club party. XXX Projections by the hottest
Graphic Designer in town, Art Installations by undiscovered Scottish
artists. Stella and Vodka will be on promotion.

#2 - PRESS RELEASE: THE CURIOS SUNDAY JOINT

PRESS RELEASE: THE CURIOS SUNDAY JOINT

Due to the success of 'curios city' over the festival, we have now
launched the 'Curios Sunday Joint'.

A weekly free open event at The Bongo Club.

Since 2000, Curios has been holding irregular events where we create
indoor worlds for the clubbers amusement. These have
included 'Carnival of the Dead'; 'Club Never Never'; 'Our Back Yard';
and 'Spacehoppin'.

Although we are still continuing to hold these events, the next one
being 'Narnia Nights' this Halloween, we also wanted to experiment on
a smaller, more regular scale. Thus 'The Curios Sunday Joint' has
been born.

The aim is to build an ever revolving curios world where different
DJ's,musicians and performers can create in a relaxed sunday social
scene.

As ever, we will use decor and visuals to create these environments.
The theme of play will also be at the forefront with toys; from
video games and Atollo' to old school classics such as Scalectrix and
blow football.

The music policy as ever is both open and eclectic and a varied
collection of djs and live acts will grace our joint. Ranging from
funk and hip hop to country and electro, musical surprises you've
always hoped for. We will also be introducing forms of comedy,
theatre and other performance as we evolve.

The result being a delicious feast for a sunday appitite! Thinking of
which, tasty food will served till 7pm and drinks promos on offer.

We are also very open to new acts and djs becoming involved. They can
get in touch with us :curios_experiments@...

where? the bongo club, holyrood rd, edinburgh
when? every sunday
what time? 2pm till 1am
cost? no, no no. its FREE!
