The Scary Clown Presents… the end

Matty, Jonny and Krispy, aka the Scary Clown Presents

It’s with a heavy heart that us Scary Clown’s have decided to stop putting on our DIY punk shows after our last Xmas party gig this December 2024.  It’s been 11 years of fun (and a lot of effort and lost money), and it leaves us with a ton of memories, hangovers, and great friends.  We’ve all met so many bands and punks in the years we’ve been trying to put on gigs, and we’d not have wanted it any other way.

The local Peterborough/Stamford DIY scene is now as lively as it’s ever been, with others helping pick up the gig load – including Socks On Records, No Gods No Managers, and the revived Club With No Name.  There’s so many shows we feel we can ‘retire’ and just enjoy going to other peoples shows.  Krispy especially travels the UK too going to fests and gigs, so you’ll still see our faces out and about.

So the current listed gigs (plus possibly an unannounced show) will be the last we promote – our Skate-aid 10 will be the tenth and last all-dayer fundraiser, and at the point of writing there’s only 37 tickets left.  So please do get your tix asap for that.   We’ve also got those local legends VANILLA POD coming back for one last show – they are a good bunch of lads!

We go out with a festive bang – our Xmas punk party gig will again be a free show at the Ostrich Inn, Peterborough.  We are yet to announce the line-up but we should have a big name again coming to party with us in Pboro’s best boozer.

Thanks for all the good times, Matty, Jonny & Krispy!

The Scary Clown Presents… Guns N’ Wankers Are Back!

guns n wankers gig stamford 10 may 19

On an excited scale of 1 to 100, we have reached 101 as we are only the 2nd ever gig for the Duncan Redmonds reformed 90’s punk band, Guns n Wankers!!   Yep they are back and playing gigs, and we have them coming to Mama LIz’s Voodoo Lounge on 10th May.  They are joined by one hell of a line-up;  Spoilers, Misfortune Cookie, and Beverley Kills.

The gig has already sold over 70% of the ticket allocation within a few days – so if you want to come along for a bit of DIY punk history, get your tickets ASAP!  They are £10 and we will not be selling any on the door, this is a ticket only event as we know it will SELL OUT!

Guns n Wankers were formed by Duncan Redmonds when Snuff first split up, combining members of Snuff and The Wildhearts.  The current 3 piece line-up includes original members Duncan Redmonds and Pat Walters, with Wes Wasley (Consumed) on bass.

The Scary Clown Presents… a DIY Punk Compilation Album!

Scary Clown Presents team album announcement

Bloody exciting news alert!!!

Our punk collective has been thinking about extending our reach by creating a small independent record label for some time – and to kick that off we’ve decided to start with a compilation album, entitled “The First Five Years”.  We’ve had over 100 bands play at our gigs over the last five years (we celebrate that 5th birthday at our next gig at Mama Liz’s, which also celebrates their 10th year of being a cracking independent music venue.

So SCP0001 “The First Five Years” is well underway, with almost all the bands & tracks agreed (30ish in total), our music producer guru is in place, and we want all tracks with him before the end of October!

We’ve got some of the cream of the DIY punk scene on this banger, and in many cases it’s never released tracks!  We’ve got quotes in for the manufacture & pressing – we are going for top quality production values on our first baby, no expense spared, no bank account left in the black.  We are talking a double vinyl gatefold LP and a full to bursting CD!

Artwork mock-ups are underway (we’ve got a ton of great photos thanks to scene photograph Mark Richards and local hotshot Pawel!)… and a rough schedule is in place too keep us honest.  We may have the best punk rock Xmas pressie of all time on our hands!

Cheers to all the bands coming in on this adventure with us!
