The Limey Lodge was officially formed in July 2007 becoming the first honourable members of the ICS network outside the North American continent. Continuing to build upon the stones laid down by the societies founding fathers (Nicholas Dodson and Michael Mellender) the U.K chapter of the ICS strives to be a fellowship for the mystical audio crafts and nest to those who believe the brain to be an under used muscle.
Many of the Limeys number are, or have been for years, heavily involved in the South London underground music scene in various guises. To find out more about these bands/projects please explore the lodges friends list!
Generally the lodge members aim to meet once a month in order to share ideas, listen and write together. Using the ICS' long established bi-laws as a framework for ever expanding creativity.
The ICS is a ring of songwriter lodges, which is sort of like a small, local secret society of musicians. The lodge exists as a way for all of the members to force themselves to write as much music as possible. The privacy and secrecy of a lodge are there so that while the lodge members are busy making as much music as possible, they can also feel especially free and uninhibited about it, in the manner of a person who knows that nobody is watching (except friends). The members of an ICS lodge have sworn to support and encourage each other completely. So, thats nice. Find out more at www.ics-hub.org. Good Luck! Be Creative!
