I'm interviewing Chris Liberator

My mate says the liberators used ask if they could tidy up after their parties and that it was them (Shrape) that gave him his first proper DJ slot?
I don't doubt my best friend. Just thought I'd get involved with the name dropping. ;)
 
weren't they all girls?

I sat through all them crappy anarcho bands more times than I care to remember.
Mostly but not all, what with Chris being a bloke and that :p

I quite liked HTW, i remember a peel session they did and a song called Song of Deep Hate amongst others that i thought was great. Still got on a cassette tape somewhere.
 
Then they started again at the Theatre Factory in Thyssen street, dalston about 96/7(?) around the time of their Fuck detriot album - the flyers were great with a bloke asking whether they should go to Minstry and listen to the latest chicago house sounds and the women replying no i want to go and get ripped off my tits to stonking acid techno in a big warehouse. I'll try and stick up a piccie later on if i get the time.


those were the days :D did you ever see the guy with the teapot on his head with the whirle magic round about type thing which came out of the top paitned blue ...

I have a beautify memory of one of my friends before he went mental trying unsucessfully to skin up for about an hour being ripped to fuckery and then going to lick it and getting the entire contents of the spliff in his mouth :D

do you know what? you're the first person i've met (in my 6 years online) who (admitted to) knew shrape. so well done ;)
amazing really because they put the best parties on in london all through
91/92ish. we were on guest lists all over town during those days because all the promoters were at our parties.
i was at the lady owen and the air gallery and the school in stockwell (2000 people rammed in for one of the best nights of my life) and some squat in the city and a few other parties at the squat where we all lived.
fucking mad times. :D

wicked times indeed...i remember helping paint those massive backdrops in the stockwell school... tank girl,easter island heads etc.. spent many a wasted afternoon round at Lawford Road in Kentish Town.. Urge!!:cool:
 
in fact Brewery Road was one of Spiral Tribes first venues.. after it'd been properly rinsed by Shrape:p
 
Nice one Tax. Let us know how you get on.


(Speaking of Nuclear Free Zone, gergl and I are going to the 414 tomorrow, where there'll be not one or two but all three Liberators playing!)
 
I am interested in how people keep going in the hard/acid techno scene without burning out. 20 years is a long time to keep slamming down squelching 303s...does it not get boring? do the years of late nights and caning it not catch up with you? (they did me!) what keeps them going or is it more of a hobby now with day jobs on the side? (I know chris does some journalism...maybe julian is a landscape gardener?

there was only shrape and spiral tribe doing the parties at the time iirc and the spirals were attracting most of the heat at the time which allowed the shrape parties to go off. thats how i remembered it anyway.
 
He ended up being dragged back to my house by a load of students one night. Can't really remember much about it but someone pissed in the washing machine. Could you please ask if it was him? TIA.

Darling, shall we don our best new togs & go dancing down 'the ministry' to the trendy new chicago sounds i read about in the n.m.e?

Bollox to that! I'm going to "Live Fast, Die Young" to get off my head to 'aving it turbo charged acid trance & pumping uplifting house in a bif f k-off warehouse in Dalston!

backside of djs
 
They just don't make 'em like they used to :D

I'm filled with the urge to go to a big warehouse full of munters jumping and gurning to techno. Happy days.
