•GREGOR LAIRD - Art Director & Designer -
DISKOBLOODBATH (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
partner 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 RHYTHM ROOM at QBar on Edinburgh's picturesque LEITH
STREET.

Opening night will feature the band MOTORMARK - fast and furious
openers for THEWHITE 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.

Stop.
