No, it was Hagar the Womb.
(imagine a more credible Primitives).
Mostly but not all, what with Chris being a bloke and thatweren't they all girls?
I sat through all them crappy anarcho bands more times than I care to remember.

No. Unless Chris has had an op.
i think they were MOSTLy girls
yeah 414 is still going. Is that political...?
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.

My memories of the Theatre factory are all suitably vague i'm afraid....(Shrape) that gave him his first proper DJ slot?

Lady Owen Arms (squatted) in Angel innit... Shrape used to come partying round my "house" afew times.. you remember the Air Gallery on Rosebery Avenue?? 1989-90.. and the factory up Brewery Road in Kings Cross a bit later.. Chris is coming to the Unsound beach party this year by the way


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.![]()

the school in stockwell (2000 people rammed in for one of the best nights of my life)
in fact Brewery Road was one of Spiral Tribes first venues.. after it'd been properly rinsed by Shrape![]()
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?

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.
