Klub Dada - 13 May feat. John Cooper Clarke

[ubu]

Klub dAdA returns sometime after its first appearance to celebrate ninety years since the discovery of the DadA spirit. After April Fools days's pissing statues, boxing and Honda Civic orchestras, May the thirteenth will see the return of The Greatest Dada Show ever, based on 1920's Paris texts, vigorous recitings of Dada Manifestos, The Cabaret Pis, The Man from Uranus with his Theramin, The Golden Organic Fucking Rock, Psychic Twins, The Shellacs indulging in extremely old skool turntableism, a dadfication beauty salon, original DaDA films, a pig porn merchant and various other ongoing madnesses, some of which I am certainly unaware of at this stage.

Mr John Cooper Clarke will also be in attendance reciting poetry old and new including the world premier of the updated, gentrified version of Beasley Street.

All once again takes place in the cosy confines of the Mad George Tavern, 373 Commercial Road, E1.

Doors open at 8, entrance a mere £5 before 9 and £8 thereafter. OAPs admitted free all night. The greatest ever Dada Show will commence at EIGHT THIRTY and really is not to be missed so do try and get there in time for that..

oh and if you could make something of a DaDAist sartorial effort it would be much appreciated and will no doubt contribute to the escalation of both your own and other attendees fun.

A pair of guest lists available to first urbanite to PM me.

I'd love to see JCC live, but Ive never been to a dada-do before. I know what dadaism is but what happens at the parties? Whats the etiquette (if there is any given that its a dada party)? Whats to be expected?

"...Attendees to Klub daDa are expexted to come suitably attired, cardboard, vegetables, pig snouts and head-mounted clocks are all acceptable, crash helmets are not uless they are fitted with suitable drinking apparatus. On arrival all attendees should approach the bar and order themselves and the man with white leather shoes a drink. Said drink should then be taken to man with white shoes and offered with a compliment concerning his appearance, boundless intelligence or the size of any part of his anatomy.

During the evening attendees are encoraged to move their bodies rhythmically in respense to their surrounding at all times, drinkers are encoraged to sychronise movement of their drinking arm with at least two other drinkers to increase the aesthetic impact of the soiree on its attendees. In the same way smokers are encorage to blow their smoke in the opposite direction to a fellow smoker to work towards a symmetry and balance that can only be condusive to a more healthy exposition of the dADa spirit..."

and so goes on.. this extract was lifted from an as yet unwritten 35 page octavo publication entitled "Klub dADa - what it's for and how to use it" which is attributed to Johnny Southside.
