Anyone interested in a WATMM night in London? (Update: Meet on 20th June)

yes yes. The last organised event was trashbear up north, i was meant to go but couldnt get out of work on time to catch my train. London would be well easier for me. Can probably help suggest some central pub with backroom venues if required.

Yeah a Trashbear London equivalent would be amazing, definitely up for it.

You're paying though, right?

Let's make it happen!

Didn't promo put on a night that a load of wattmites turned up to?

 

If "Gary C, Iain C and Idiron" counts as loads of WATMMers. Maybe there were a few others there, Solo Strike perhaps? That was in Brixton in 2007 and anyway, it was a disaster.

 

As to a general meetup, I'm kind of wary. I've met tons of WATMMers and I'd happily meet more, but not necessarily at a free-for-all. Cause then Obel might show up and ruin the party.

Yeah I'd advise against posting the location on this thread, because I can't guarantee anybody's safety.

I'd certainly be up for it. Tried to do something very last minute for my birthday & our album launch a few years back ( http://forum.watmm.com/topic/54459-official-uk-watmm-meetup/ ) but it didn't really happen ...

Friday 14th June is like my only free evening for months.

How does that sound for everyone? Friday 14th June?

Awful

Obel, you're such a negative blimey nancy.

LOL!

I would be up for a London meet.

How about Cafe Oto on a night when there's no concert?

Hey, I was there...was meant to be playing a set, didn't happen.

 

Would like to attend and play a proper watmm London event though...

 

Edit: Friday 14th is good for me!

Haha, I suspect the fact it was run by Promo might have had something to do with it.

Organised and run badly, numerous sound issues, a lot of twats "hogging" the stage area and not letting other acts play their sets, no "promoter" on hand to assist as had buggered off when things started going pear shaped.

 

I just end up doing a load of crack in the toilets with a large black gentleman.

Hmm that's not very IDM, but maybe.

i think if theres one thing that this forum has proven, its that not only is nothing truely IDM, including IDM, no-one can ever agree on what is even IDM about not being IDM.

Oto has more in common with IDM than any place in London I know (experimental, bordering on noisy, often with DIY instruments, often electronics, for instance this Sunday, mostly improvised/avant/new music, Kernel and other good beers).

 

But I'm more than curious about IDM-proven places in this beautiful town.

Let's hear about them!

I don't want IDM. I want a pub or a warehouse party.

Or maybe a nice home party?
