Oh, youth and the benefit of hindsight - our shows have evolved now but everything must begin somewhere.

​

Over a 12 month period we put on multiple shows at 'die kirche' - a flat within the church in north Bristol.

Before the landlord (Methodist church) invoked the contract power of 'Section K' clause after a raid by Bristol Police regarding noise pollution - in a strange twist of fate the church is now using the using same space as an "arts space" a decade later... perhaps we started something back in 2008. 

​

The Church shows were enabled with the massive help of joint promoter "In It for The Money" records aka Brett and sound engineer 'Squeaky' Adrian. Using a borrowed arts house sound system intended for several hundred people in a residential space.

​

Die Kirche had the debut show from "Love Her Coz Shes Dead", we had "Run Walk", "Young Hollywood", "Venus Bogardus", "Nova Robotics", "Wild Stallions" and "Team Brick" / "MXLX" (who asked for a cafetière and decent coffee in his rider) among many others.

After sets of three - five bands proceedings would continue with DIY DJ sets long into the early hours.
