Forthcoming Events And KYPP Meet Ups

Posted on August 19, 2008September 5, 2013 by Penguin

This is a seperate post for any browsers to advertise any forthcoming events, gigs, parties or just any small meet ups in your local areas. Please make comments or adverts relevent to Kill Your Pet Puppy online browsers. Spearmint Rhino visits may not be quite what we are looking for…

While you write any comments you can chill out to a massively fine and very rare Duke Records 7″ single from 1973 produced by Lee Perry. The Gatherers with The Upsetters…Enjoy.

Please note that this post is also on the list of categories on the right hand side of the site (titled Categories) for ease of access in the future.

It should also be noted that formal dress only should be worn for any KYPP promoted meet ups.

Failure to dress to this strict code will mean expulsion of said party and a strict ten week program to re-learn how one should be presented in ‘polite society’. Hoo rah!

luggy – if you can remember Ashwin St. you weren’t there…

It was actually Tony D who gave me a ‘Buddhist Punk’ badge way back when.
How prophetic was that?
You gonna do a Vipassana Phil?
Where and when?
I learned it at Hereford, the same place as Val goes to.
Actually we met there a few years ago.
Incredible coincidence. We didnt know who we were till later, if you see what I mean.
I haven’t practiced for years but have ‘sat’ 6 courses, some there & some in Asia and ‘worked’ 4.
So, I’m not quite a novice but not realy experienced in the technique either.
I’ve had back problems that have meant ‘sitting’ has been virtualy impossible. Or at least that’s been my excuse.
If you’re gonna do one it may not be blissful, exactly. They can be tough going.
But just decide in your mind that whatever happens you will complete the full course.
For an old punkist/autonomista like me it was hard the first time.
I cursed them all to hell each evening but gave it another day. And thus completed the full ten. I regreted it not one single bit. And that set the tone for the following decade.
Its, as i’ve said to my nieces, tokers at 14, ‘E’ in at 15, better, deeper, fuller and more centering than any drug and possably the single strongest experience I have had.
I’ve outed meself now, but I imagine I’ll get stick for it on a site like this!
How can I pose as the angry old man now?
Go for it, mate.

No actually Jake, im going on a Transcendental Meditation/yogic flying re-treat. It comes from the non dual Advaita Vedanta tradition and not from buddhism. It is completely effortless and is not a form of contemplation or concentration but a way for the mind to settle down to its most silent but alert state which is often very bissful.
Guess ive outed myself too !

Ashwin St? was that a Squat or something?
baron von zubb
October 25, 2008 at 9:39 am

Vedanta, its good stuff. Much’hindu’ practice is, well, gumph, but vedanta seems solid. Read ‘Swami Dayanda’,took the base ideas of alienation present in Situationist theory one step further methinks.
I think ‘Buddhism’ is from the non dualistic tradition as well?
Om Tat Sat.!
Phil R
October 25, 2008 at 10:01 am

Yes , in fact the traditions seems very close, and i struggle to understand the real difference in the two..(Maybe cos i havnt really studied buddhism) .. But thats all mind stuff anyway, which is something we want to go beyond- and not get too bogged down in. Lol!
I often walk past campbell buildings to go and meditate at the Tibetan peace garden.

Phil, it was a terrace of 4 (I think) houses squatted in the mid-eighties, still empty but gutted now. I’ll tell Kel about the John Sinclair night, he’s well into all that 1968 stuff, hopefully he’ll come along. Anyone seen the MC5 documentary, “A True Testimonial”, it’s pretty interesting stuff. Never been officially released but available on torrent sites.

Ha! Ha! I thought you were around at that time, what about the rat & the lawyer then?
alistairliv
October 27, 2008 at 9:46 am

The (or a very similar) story about the lawyer and the rat is in KYPP 4/ Gay Punx page.

http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb227/killyourpetpuppy/KYPP%20issue%204/?action=view&current=page17.jpg

It is hard to read – it is the last part of story, follows one about Cory’s naturally pink ‘pubes on the tube’ flash… but here it is:

Straight lawyer visits us to get details of latest police harrassment. He sits in Reginald’s arm chair. Suddenly lawyer jumps to his feet as Reginald the pet green rat emerges from the arm of the chair and runs across his lap…
Phil R
October 28, 2008 at 7:30 pm

Well, this was hippy Mandys pet rat which had a fondness for simons used condoms (prob the protein) and used to run around with them in his mouth! And like Cory’s rat ends up on the lawyers lap proudly holding the condom in his gob!

Anyone seen them lately?

March 13, 2009 at 11:30 am

Actually, I went to see PTV 3 at, I think, the kentish Town Forum a year or so ago. they were pretty dire to be honest and that last LP they did was woeful. That said, i’ll probably end up going along to this gig anyway just to see old faces.

Think it was around 1988 was the last I saw a performance from the Gen-meister. Cor blimey 21 years ago. Don’t time fly?

Saw them in Glasgow around then too, ‘Godstar’ had maybe been out for a year. It was a good gig!
Ian
March 13, 2009 at 1:21 pm

They played Glasgow Nightmoves/Rooftops in 86, some of which was released as the live in Glasgow LP. They played Godstar that night but it hadn’t been released yet. Next time they played Glasgow was 88 at Mayfair in Sauchiehall St, Gen spent a fair bit of time in the audience, and IIRC, the audience spent a fair bit of time onstage. Both good gigs.

I can highly recommend TV Smith/The Fallen Leaves on March 21st at the Parliamentt Club, just off the Portobello Rd:

http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&Band_Show_ID=38525638&friendid=44605025

The Fallen Leaves run the Parliament Club and feature Rob Simmons of the original Subway Sect and they’re absolutely fantastic.

Check out High and Dry here:

Their LP is great too:

DJ BENETTI

Faction is proud to welcome as special guest on Friday April 10th, Bank Holiday Weekend – The capo dei capi of Italo Disco – DJ Benetti.

The sound of Italo, characterized by Giorgio Moroder-esque space synths, New Wave electronic drums and irresistibly infectious melodies has received an overdue renaissance in recent years, injecting some welcome Dolce Vita back into the club scene.

Having made his DJ debut at a Mafia-controlled pizza restaurant in 1980, Benetti is now renowned as one of the unsung pioneers of the Italo sound. Most recently dropping his disco diamonds an the Bloc Weekender he has played at Cocadisco a record 6 times in addition to his residency at italoBLACK in Edinburgh and the monthly Disco Caligula parties. Delivering magical musical odysseys that have enchanted both Italo initiates and hardcore cognoscenti every time.

“I’m always look forward to playing,” Benetti tells us from his villa near San Marino, famed for the wine cellar converted to accommodate his enormous record collection. “I’ve recently unearthed many great ’80s rarities from Rimini’s deepest vaults more precious than the very Turin Shroud.”

Something we at Faction are sure will prove beyond doubt that, as the young Signora Ciccone’s T-Shirt read; “Italians Do It Better”.

CHRIS LOW

Chris Low took to the turntables during the halcyon days of Acid House. His CV includes the legendary Edinburgh clubs Soma, Sex Beat, Skidoo and XS, DJing at Kraftwerk and Nitzer Ebb after-shows and most recently a triumphant six hour set at his Throbbing Disco night in Tokyo. Chris has played on US radio station 91.5 WPRK alongside DJ Pierre, DJ Sneak and Felix Da Housecat amongst others; can boast vinyl releases on Pro-Jex, Victoria Music, SW20 Records and can always be relied on to get the dancefloor jumping with an genre-defying blend of house, electro, italo, and nu-beat classics. Always with a few surprises thrown into the mix.

JASON FACTION
Following the successful Faction trip to New York, where they played a number of slots across Brooklyn and Manhattan culminating in an illustrious Faction party in Williamsburg, Faction resident, Jason will be tearing up the dance floor with a selection of cuts from the full sound spectrum of Faction nights from the start of the club till the present.

Unfortunately Friday April 10th Bank Holiday special will be the last ever Faction. I can only thank everyone who ever came along, all the DJs and acts who played and all those who made it as enjoyable a venture as it was. But stay tuned for details of the new club night, it’s going to be MASSIVE!!!

Once again thanks to all those who have supported Faction over the past year and a half and I’ll be giving away another FREE CD featuring a selection of the songs that have made the club to the first 50 people who come along on April 10th. (Jason Faction)
