Where were we? Time to get our various heads on and kick start this new year? Rage Hard? Shame shit different number?  Underculture? Bleakender? Brave the Elements? Bring it on…

“Contrapolis was first seen on the site formerly used by Turner Prize winning Assemble Collective ‘Folly For A Flyover’, apparently featuring  Adrian Burnham (although the information is rather vague) “an everyday documentary quality…other times.. mesmeric abstract patterning effects – different perspectives and perceptions …. jostling for the viewers’ attention, as does the city itself”. Camera, Editing & Music Composition by Xuan Sinden. Special thanks to artist Follie Gioir & Chom Sun Sake for embracing their inner Marcel Duchamp, for this art intervention by fellow artist Xuan Sinden” All a bit vague, but hey, go be curious, it happens on 13th January between 6pm and 9pm.

#43ArtDrop, December 2016, part 4/43 (sw)

Is that it? Just a list? Nothing to actually say? Just a half-arsed list? Turns out opinions aren’t really like bumholes and not everyone has one, especially when it comes to the self-appointed London art media, nice hat though, you do wear your hart well. Nothing but a list of the best art press releases for your end of year round up? we assume you didn’t actually go, you did say you couldn’t be bothered with actually going to shows.

Do like the idea that Night Terrors have “arranged a 3-day weekender featuring all of our favourite/grossest/weirdest/most intense bands to christen off the new year in the bleakest way possible. Start as you mean to go on. We have a great combination of our old favourites and brand new projects to keep things interesting”

Right now the Night Terrors crew are keeping the running order and details of who is playing on which night to themselves – brilliant!  We’d love to think this was deliberate and that they weren’t ever going to announce the times or the days – all these great bands are playing for free sometime over the weekend but we’re not going to tell you who’s playing on which day, just turn up and take pot luck, gawddamnit, what day are Arrows Of Love playing!? Will they stick to their guns and not tell anyone (or are they just disorganised and this is all accidental?)    .

“All of the weekend will be entirely FREE ENTRY throughout”

Ah no, they bottled it, they announced the running order, what a cop out, well okay, no, it isn’t a cop out, tey never said they weren’t going to, did like the idea though.

Here’s what the Night Terror team have to say –  “If you’re just about starting to feel normal again after last weekend/year; don’t worry we got you covered. In 2 days you can get weird AF again. Here’s the schedule. We highly recommend getting down early each day to support all the artists as they are all awesome”

All happens between 5th and 7th January at The Shacklewell Arms, 71 Shacklewell Lane, London, E8 (Facebook event page)
