Baroness Daisy Von Howl III (HOWL CLUB)

Howl is named after the Allen Ginsberg poem - I am a fan of American contemporary writing and the Beat poets. Howl was born from the air of desperation I felt from sitting on the door of an East london club, feeling dismayed by the same twee, retro bullshit they played every night. I felt there had to be more than this, more noise, more provocative inspiration I'd witnessed at events such as Silver Rocket, ATP and Upset The Rhythm, I thought I need to do this! So with the intention of creating a platform for left-field, interesting acts in an non-elitist environment I decided to start my own night. And the name? It's not just an appreciation for the poet but a comment on the alarming comparisions I drew from that poem whilst watching un-named indie twaddle walking in and out of the toilet and club 'loooking for an angry fix' which is a downfall of existing in an area, which for the most part, is creative and inspiring. I hope that in the short space of time Howl has been around I have achieved to host a number of eclectic and boundry pushing acts from grind-core, gabba, electronica, hard-core, doom, space rock, psyche and prog etc But whats in a name? As long as there is boundry pushing, thought provoking acts out there and a place for them to exist and perform outside the corporate mainstream...I'm happy.BANDS THAT HAVE PLAYED HOWL; THE HORRORS MEN OF UNITUS SHITMAT PRE THE SWARM DJ SCOTCH EGG ROCK OF TRAVOLTA HUNTING LODGE SCARECROWS BLOOD RED SHOES COVE BREAKNECK STATIC LORDS SILENT FRONT MAX TUNDRA THE HEADS AN EMERGENCY XYLITOL PRE SAILORS TRENCHER UNTITLED MUSICAL PROJECT CRYSTAL CASTLES SILVERLINK VILE IMBECILES TIGERFORCE NARWHAL HORATIO POLLARD TIGERS!
