Hey can I just say... fair fucks to anyone who travels over to protest this. It's encouraging to know that people are that aware and/or caring.

and then...


Thursday 7th July

Infernal Noise Brigade
The Infernal Noise Brigade is a 20-piece mobile sound ensemble, a hybrid marching band and drum corps, internationally active in the furtherance of popular liberation for five years. First organized in 1999 to provide the soundtrack for actions during the world trade organization meetings in Seattle, the INB marched through clouds of gas and hails of rubber bullets without dropping a beat. Not a year later the group visited Prague in grand style, followed by both BBC and Dutch VPRO film crews. The group prevailed through the violence that marked that event. “Injuries are mounting; ambulances wail. Seattle's Infernal Noise Brigade drowns the sound of concussion grenades with their drums.” (Village Voice, 10/4/00)
You will probably also see them at various actions during the week.
www.infernalnoise.org

Filastine
FILASTINE performs LivePA/DJ sets that wreck genre, seamlessly
integrating hip-hop, batucada, breakcore, drum & bass, politics, and
international obscura. The core of a Filastine live performance
consists of a laptop & electronics where tracks are remixed and
layered, then enhanced with live percussion. Filastine will also be
joined by MC Subzero Permafrost, the rhyme-spitting sephardic
ice-princess of New Orleans, for this tour.
“I caught these guys – Filastine and Maga Bo – by chance at the
Capitol Hill Block Party, rocking laptops in an impromptu setting on an
old beater, wearing orange auto-mechanic suits and black masks. They
were the most interesting act of the entire event. Their sound warps
the boundaries among drill ‘n’ bass, Muslimgauze-style Arabic breakbeat
terror, and early Meat Beat Mainfesto’s intelligent industrial
funk.” (The Stranger)
www.filastine.com

In Decades Decline
Local hardcore stalwarts, dishing up their apocalyptic metallic hardcore, their superb new stuff sees them nudging into His Hero Is Gone territory, only more metal.
www.lawgiverrecords.co.uk

Zillah
Metal-core, in the vein of Coalesce and Burnt By The Sun.
www.zillah666.co.uk

Cobra The Enemy
Fast punk from Glasgow, features people from Atomgevitter, quite possibly sounds like Poison Idea.

Both gigs are at:
Studio 24
Calton Rd
Edinburgh
Doors 7pm
£3, over 14s
All proceeds to the legal defence fund, to help those arrested during the G8 protests.
Studios late both nights, so there will be all sorts of merriment til chucking out time.

 

[Cormcolash]

Have to see if I can find some way to get to that gig on the 5th.

 

[rampz]

the only way im gonna be able to go is if africa pays me back the 70 euros they owe me.

You will need to bring a sleeping bag and a tent if you have one. Bring a bowl, spoon and mug.
Bring money for food. It'll probably cost about 3-4 euro a day for food on the rural
convergence. Bring water containers-VERY IMPORTANT

EDINBURGH: We’ve got Café Clandestino cooking at the
self organised accommodation space in Edinburgh.
The Anarchist Teapot will be coming and
cooking with them over the weekend 1st-3rd July.

GLASGOW: Kaos Café are cooking at Create Summit in
Glasgow until the 1st July, then may move to the
Glasgow convergence space.

STIRLING: We have kitchens from the UK, Ireland and
Germany and some more potentials all ready to cook in
neighbourhoods on the Stirling site, plus another
large kitchen catering for the whole site/anyone not
in a neighbourhood and feeding extras, and one kitchen
doing cake for all! We think at the moment our
capacity will be about 5000+.

CO-ORDINATION: We are co-ordinating food ordering, all
pooling money and takings, and all charging the same
(50p for breakfast (£1 if it ‘includes lunch’, ie
we’re putting out bread and spreads for packed lunch),
£1 for a simple meal/soup, £1.50 for a fuller meal
(e.g. with salad), hot drinks by donation, and of
course, further donations are more than welcome! No
one will be making individual profit on this, in fact,
we haven’t got a clue whether we’ll break even.

If anyone else is planning to/wants to bring a kitchen
at this point now, please get in touch ASAP – we are
trying to coordinate this and it will get difficult
with less and less notice.

Donations of vegan ingredients for cooking are being
sought – any of the following would be useful:
- bulk pulses, grains, mueslis, breakfast cereals...
- tins of tomatoes, oil, vinegar, margarine, spreads
for bread...
- tea, coffee, soymilk, soymilk making machines...
- sugar, spices, herbs, salt, pepper, stock...

Please bring your own plate, bowl, cutlery and mug!
There won’t be enough to go around. Some mugs will be
available on a deposit basis.
