Went to an event up Brum called 'drop beats not bombs' on saturday. Fucking awesome night - didnt get back home til 9am.
Though the night is basically a big fuck off Dubstep/ Breaks/ D&B rave in a warehouse by a rail bridge, it has always had a bit of an anti-war message. I was surprised to see virtually all the entries from the b3ta 'shop a cop' challenge on the video screen behind the DJs!
All images had 'images from b3ta.com' on them, so no harm done i guess. You can see the 'get off me you fucking pig' one, the dalek one and the animated lazer guns one on these shoddily noisy phone cam pics.
I also saw fellow b3tan Dr When there too!
Sorry for the /blog entry and RPS, but hey - its tuesday! I can be forgiven?

I haven't been to the factory since last year, and I was going to go to Supersonic this year, or drop the lime or something.

i was at supersonic last year.
Mainly for Dalek and the osaka invasion bands like Dokkebi Q and DJ scotch egg though.
Lineup looks a bit indie cindy this year, so ill prolly not be gwarning.

no-one ive really heard of.
Mind you, i didnt really know anyone who played last years, but still enjoyed it. I think it was mainly because there was a lot of Breakcore and dub stuff there, thanks to the Osaka invasion showcase.

Been to the Institute, Que Club, Air and the Custard Factory but never Rainbow. Always on the look out for good underground and raw techno in the Brum area :)
