2019 Done – Planning 2020 Gigs!

SCP stage set-up with new bass drum skin

Well our final Scary Clown Presents gig of 2019 was a total banger – the much-needed return of those mad chaps from Pizzatramp topped of a five band Xmas gig of much fun.

Don’t tell Pizzatramp, but we feel that Brassick may have stole the show though – their first visit to Mama Lizs for one of our gigs, and they blew most of us away!  We got a lot of great feedback from regulars about their set of full on hard-core.

So we’d like to wish everyone a very merry Xmas – let’s ignore the coming end of time with the totally crap election result of that total fuckwit Boris Johnson and his band of cunts.

On more positive news the new SCP drumskin with our new logo (possibly inspired by a skateboard brand) looked smashing on stage – the white really helps it stand out.  Lovely.

We’ve got lots of gigs planned for next year, including Skate-aid 7, and a very special TWO DAY punk festival in honour of our much missed Matt Lancaster.  #punksdontdie

Local paper prints a full page SCP feature!

Peterborough Telegraph Scary Clown Presents feature

Fame at last… well at least a little recognition of what the Scary Clown Presents… is doing for the local music scene, as the local paper prints a full page spread about us.  It includes a great photo from DIY Punk’s “mr photography”, Mark Richards, who has been our guest at a couple of our shows.  He really does capture the essence of the gig with his photos.

Anyway – it’s a good pat on the back, and more importantly for us, it may bring some new people to our shows, hopefully let some young punk / alternative music fans find out about us, and join in the friendly party that our gigs are!

We’ve managed to talk about both of our usual venues, Mama Liz’s in Stamford, and The Ostrich Inn in Peterborough.

PARTY!

Scary Clown Krispy Brown Creates Gig Listing Site

diy punk network

Our webmaster and beer brewer/drinker Krispy Brown has put his web skills to a new project – a new place to list and find gigs, which will concentrate on the DIY Punk scene, but also also gigs of all genres to be added > GigsGigsGigs.co.uk

It links to Facebook, pages with events to pull the gigs into the website automatically – so if you have a venue / promotion / band page and want your punk gigs listing, nip over and either register and add them yourself, or use the contact page to let Krispy know your Facebook page and he can do the rest.

Let’s hope it’s a useful resource for everyone in the scene – it’s obviously free to list/use!

Menshevik calling it a day

Menshevik

Bit sad about Menshevik calling it a day. We totally dug them and would like to wish the fellas well in all the various stuff that they’re involved in. If you didn’t get to see them take a look at Mark Richards photos of them from our all dayer in June. Think he really captured their fierce energy. Guys you are forever welcome to a strawberry daquiri in Stamford
