Arcadia Party Flyers-(Graphic/Flyers-UK-1998/1999)

Here two flyers of the mighty Arcadia Parties held in 1998 and 1999. Arcadia was a very special fetish party supporting the Sexual Freedom Coalition.
I spoke about this organization already 2 times when I posted  Their annual Report 96/97 and Book Of Delights the booklet they were giving away at the people taking part in their Sex Maniac Ball in 2003.
Fot whoever missed these posts then:

The Sexual Freedom Coalition (SFC) is a pro-sex campaign organization and political pressure group based in the United Kingdom that challenges the laws which take away the sexual freedoms of consenting adults and also challenges the media and official bodies that show disrespect for sex.
The Sexual Freedom Coalition is a national UK voluntary organization whose aim is to campaign for sensible reform of Britain's antiquated and repressive laws concerning consensual sexual practice between consenting adults and ensure no new laws creep in to prevent consenting adults enjoying sexual freedom.
The Sexual Freedom Coalition was
formed in April 1996 by a group of people who decided that sex clubs such as Whiplash should not be raided and the 10th Sex Maniac's Charity Ball should not have been stopped by the police, putting its charity at financial risk.
A march was organized starting in Soho and ending at 10 Downing Street where a petition "Sex Please We're British" was presented to the Prime Minister.
Since then, there have been many triumphs and the phrase "the sexual freedom of consenting adults" has become commonly used. The SFC is consulted by the Home Office and the press and is unique in the world. They have joined together with Outsiders and the Erotic Awards to hold conferences and events to allow campaigners to network and work together.
They are a member of Backlash, which was formed in 2005 in order to oppose a new law criminalizing possession of "extreme pornography". (from Wikipedia)

v.a.-Endorse It In Dorset Festival 2011-Vol 8-(Double Cd-Hogbitch-UK-2011)

Amazing double cd + small booklet with cool pics presenting the acts/bands playing at this cheerful festival in 2011.
I have posted the Vol 4 documenting the 2007 edition of the same festival.
This time the cd is double yet the recipe is almost the same, a lot of great musicians playing cow-punk, acid dub, crazy ska, punk rock, weird electronics, country&folk and more funny music to dance your body and soul.
Hogbitch seems to be the personal label by Pronghorn: an UK band that promote themselves as The Kings of Cow-punk since 1992. 
To complete this post I am attaching a video of Pronghorn live at this festival edition.
Enjoy it.

Grit n1-(Fanzine-UK-2016)

A short fanzine made by a Brazilian punk based in London. Quite funny and interesting.

I am including here the editorial to this first number, it is, in fact, a very good presentation/explanation of what this zine is and what for, and I have found it somehow funny and enjoyable too. 

Enjoy it.

DAWSON-Cheese Market-(Gruff Wit Records/ The Making Of Americans-UK/USA-1994)

This is an enormous cd including the first 2 albums: "Barf Market : You're Ontae Plums" and  " How To Follow So That Others Will Willingly Lead (Oh My Godley And Creme Cheese)" by this amazing Glasgow based band active in the early 90s.
Compared to names such as Butthole Surfers and Minutemen, Dawson throws in their songs sheer violence and electric energy mixing some avant-guard fast chaotic guitars riffs, math rhythms, weird vocals and experimental jingles that make their music original and difficult to categorize.
Coming out from the very lively Noize Post Hardcore punk scene from the end of last century, they shared common interests and sweats with Stretchheads, Whirling Pig Dervish and  Archbishop Kebab, all very original bands hailing from Scotland. 
An FB page about them is here, where you can see old flyers and pics, a new band formed by the 3rd era Dawson musicians is called Sumshapes and their Bandcamp page is here  , you can listen/buy their album Cabin Biscuits released June 30, 2017.
This is another great gift as FLAC files coming from my friend Dante, my gratitude to him for his help and support.
Enjoy it.

ZONE n01-(Fanzine-UK-2016)

A short fanzine with lots of black and white drawings, it includes a short story and the rest is just nice weird drawings.
This is the first issue and I am not sure if there have been more issues printed after it. 
Sometimes there are little collages added making these drawings even more interesting.
 I am posting here a little sample.
I think it is a very nice short zine full of good artworks.
Enjoy it.

v.a.-Thorn Of Resistance-(Countercharge Productions-c90-UK-199?)

A long compilation tape with international anarcho-punk bands, it was a  benefit for animal rights prisoners.
Different styles of punk music (ska, HC, Crust...), the quality of the recordings changes from band to band but it is, overall, quite good.
It includes many old bands and although no date is listed I reckon this was released on the end of the 90s.
Enjoy it.

Archbishop Kebab-Yinferranodgie-(Seldom Fed Records-UK-1989)

Archbishop Kebab were a Scottish Avant-Hardcore collective formed in 1986 in Edinburgh.They had a 13-year life span up to 1999.
1989 saw the release of their first LP, produced by Tim Ellis (Jackdaw With Crowbar) and the start on the first of many European tours they shared with likeminded groups - a.o. The Ex, Dog Faced Hermans, Badgewearer, Dawson and the Stretchheads.
In 1993 they released their second LP 'Beyond Ma Ken' recorded in the studio of the Hungarian label Trottel Records.
Then came along 'Heeliegoleerie And Scunnered (but cheerie)' partly recorded in Italy ; the final Album 'Bellyhunting', recorded in 1997. (info from Discogs).

Mixing up various music styles this incredible band creates a genuine personal form of post-music embracing elements of dub, afrobeat and ska to their no wave frenetic post jazzcore.
A fantastic album of creative music.
Enjoy it.
