Read our manifesto here: http://killkillclub.blogspot.com/ Whereas most independent music ventures in London traditionally focus on one sub-sub-genre of music, we have an objective to do something different. Inspired by the American indie/hardcore scene of the 80’s (kids, run to a library and read “Our Band Could be Your Life”, by Michael Azerrad), we aim to work collaboratively with artists who
share a common goal, but are not bound in a straightjacket to replicating the same sound and style as each other. We seek out artists who share common artistic bonds and ethos, but at the same time show a variety of sounds, themes and style. Our playlist goes mostly back and forth between electronica, psychedelic and psychotic sounds, pop and punk. We want to put on nights where you will hear HEALTH alongside Sonic Youth, Telepathe alongside Bikini Kill. As well as promoting inventive and exciting new music through club nights and the Kill Yr idols blog, future events will feature collaborations with amazing independent artists and film-makers. The first Kill Yr Idols night took place on January 28th at The Victoria in Mile End. Headlining were Bath's duo The Hysterical Injury, who had a short break from the debut album's recording sessions to show their noise pop brilliance in Its full glory. Chaotic noise electronica newcomers SEVERIN supported. It was a great evening and the next one takes place on April 22nd, with Hold Kiss Kill playing a live set after releasing their debut single, plus Kill Yr Idols, No Fiction and YourOtherLover DJs. Wanna get involved? Join our group, send us your ideas, come down on the 28th Jan and be part of the revolution.
