PRESS RELEASE

GREGOR LAIRD - Art Director & Designer - DISKO BLOODBATH (Edinburgh's
alternative institution), CANDYFLOSS COUTURE (fashion featured on MTV
& London Dj's) teams up with New York City's MARTIN BELK - Writer,
Performer & Producer - SQUEEZEBOX! NYC (the club that birthed Hedwig
and the Angry Inch, and caused NYC a whole lotta' trouble) to bring
you HEROES!: a bi-weekly extravaganza on an unlikely edge.

HEROES! will mix punk, glam, rock, electro and performance music
genres with human art installations and electic multimedia to bring
Edinburgh a night catering to a mixed crowd -
straight/gay/male/female/inbetween/younger/older/other. "We want the
outcasts, people who live for something more - they create great
things..." Belk declares "...there are no more real HEROES in the
world, we have to become them, whatever form they take..." Laird
contends: "I want to see what happens when people from all the
splintered 'scenes' get in one room. 'scenes' are so tired, so last
century -" "...yeah," Belk continues, "if all you wanted is to be
herded like a cow into a room full of clones - I've always thought
that you should just stay home, get out your mirror and fuck yourself.
Cheaper that way..." Along with their venue/biz parter TAYLOR MADE
who already produces events at Bongo Club and Backpackers, the two
stand to be formidable opponents to boredom in Edinburgh.

Laird & Belk are bringing in sexy dancers, hot new musicians & funky
artists from the five corners the globe every other week to the Stag &
Turret, a bi-level pub on Edinburgh's demure East End. Opening night
will feature the band MOTORMARK - fast and furious openers for THE
WHITE STRIPES, SONIC YOUTH, LADYTRON, PEACHES & the hot new sensation
just off several of their own junkets around Europe. Both promoters
realise they are packing a lot into one night: "Joey Ramone knew about
short songs and made a career out of it. You don't have to ingest
'everything' to be a major part of 'something'." Laird concludes.
