An Interview with Adrian Storry..
An interview with Adrian Storry, the promoter of What ever Happened to P-Rock? and Eclectic Like Whoopi...
The Macbeth - Tell us about your new night?
Adrian Storry - The new night is basically a night where people can play whatever they want. I got sick of going to nights where the music policy is just one thing. My music taste has always been eclectic and I’ve kind of always liked every type of music and not stuck to one type and I thought other people might enjoy that too. Dunno if it will work or not but fingers crossed.
TM - Wanna tell us about the other stuff you do, P-rock etc?
AS - When I was growing up as a kid I really love punk rock music and all the stuff that’s coming out recently is based on fashion and they’ve kinda lost the whole punk rock imagery so I wanted to go back to how it used to be and kind of play the songs that everyone used to love. Everyone from my generation always had so much heart in it and it seems the kids these days don’t really understand the punk rock genre.
TM - What’s your favourite Whoopi move and why?
AS - I really want to say sister act cos it really is my favourite movie but jumping jack flash is another big favourite of mine, I think that’s amazing. Also really like ghost. She’s amazing in ghost.
TM - Favourite ice cream and why?
AS - I used to love tutti fruity ice cream. I don’t think they even make it anymore. Its just something I used to have as a kid in random sea side resorts. Absolutely amazing. They had those little sweets but they weren’t the same.
TM - Oh you mean the ones with the bubble gum inside. What did happen to them?
TM - If you were a member of blink 182 who would you be and why?
AS - Back in the day I would have said Tom and then he did the whole Angels and airwaves thing and it made me think he’s a bit of a cock, but I have to say mark now as he is the other coolest member.
Obviously Travis is cool but he’s not got the same wit as the others.
TM - Aaaand, you were thrown out of the Macbeth a few weeks ago. Why don’t u tell us a bit about that?
AS - Well, I have this problem with falling asleep in clubs. It’s when I get too drunk, I just end up falling asleep in the corner. As long as I stand up its fine, but as soon as I sit down it’s all over. The thing is that the minute I wake up I’m fine, which is why I had an argument with the bouncers.
TM - Well thankyou very much Adrian and we will see you this Saturday for ‘Eclectic Like Whoopi’

Loverman and Sharks at Gash this Friday
The ever-popular Gash returns with Loverman and Sharks live and a host of DJs to boot.
Here's some really beautiful artwork I found for Loverman's EP. Apparently Myspace took it down, philistines.
Also don't miss Sharks before they go on tour with The Gallows and remember to come down early for that all-important free vodka to kick things off.

Fiesta and Urban Nerds presents Haunted House Of Horrors Halloween Weekender
An interview with Fiesta Promoter Jeff Leach for this Halloween..
Macbeth: How do you usually ward off evil spirits at this time of year?
Jeff: I believe in meeting fire with fire. I haunt the evil spirits and beat them to the mark.
M: What's your favourite halloween costume ever?
J: Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice.
M: What will you be wearing at the weekend?
J: I will be transformed into the Ghost of Macbeth, personifying the Shakespearean King famed for his evil deeds and eventual madness and demise.
M: There's always a lot of good stuff happening at Halloween, what makes your night stand out?
J: We're the only night fusing together two incredible nights to form one giant weekender special like this. Not only are our djs, burlesque dancers, tattooists, hairdressers and actors all housed under one roof, we've gone all out on the 3 floors of film-set quality decor.
M: Tell us a little about Urban Nerds who you're doing the night with.
J: The Nerds are one of the most successful up and coming dubstep, grime and funky nights in London. They used to host my second room when Fiesta first started and the boys have grown immensely, hosting parties at Fabric, Matter and representing at festivals like Snowbombing and more. They bring an urban edge to the proceedings but with a happy and positive vibe. Aggro is not welcome here.
M: Is there a specific theme or is it just halloweeny?
J: The top floor will be a haunted attic, covered in cobwebs and the charred remains of children's toys. The middle floor is the pyschotic doctor's laboratory/butcher's den. Sheet plastic, no light except UV, blood, brains, gore and the photographic evidence of his female prey. The bottom floor will have a lighter feel to it, blacked out, full of dancing skeletons, a few hung souls and plenty of ghoulish spirit.
M: What's the scariest film you've ever seen?
J: This Japanese film about a secretary who falls madly in love with her boss and horrendously murders him, his children and her deformed brother... can't remember the name but that's probably for the best.
M: Are you scared of the dark?
J: I used to be until at least 15 or so, was well embarassing. But now I embrace it a little too fiercely.
M: Do you believe in ghosts?
J: Come saturday I will be one, so I had better do so!
So, this Friday and Saturday will become Fiesta and Urban Nerds haunted house of horrors, going to be really good come down!!!

Free Weekly Wednesdays at The Macbeth!
From the 28th of October The Macbeth will be having free entry wednesdays, these nights will be held by three bands, Is Tropical, The Saudis and The Fiction. Every week there will be bands and DJ's. I interviewed The Saudis and Is Tropical to find out abit more about them and the nights....
Simon- Is Tropical
Where did your name come from?
A dream
What happened in your dream?
An embarrassing celebrity told me
Which celebrity?
Not saying
What celebrity?
An amalgamation of all celebrity’s.
What did the celebrity tell you?
That the band should be called Is Tropical.
What’s the main influence for your music?
Whatever we happen to be listening to around the time of making the songs, even if its stuff we don’t like.
Who takes your photographs? They really stand out, unlike normal press shots that bands have.
Ellis Scott he’s a really good photographer and friend. He has a good studio in North London. We are shooting our music video there on Saturday.
How come you decided to start doing the free Wednesdays at The Macbeth?
Because cover charge’s are a ball ache, and you shouldn’t have pay for band you haven’t seen before, and
How did you meet the other bands?
We first met the Saudis when Nathan was trying to beat up the guitarist of our old band. Ever since that we’ve hung around with each other. The Fiction, we met after Gaolers daughter suggested them for one of our nights. And they blew us away…
Why The Macbeth?
Because the Macbeth has great sound and it’s off the main road. So it doesn’t attract that many tooches.
The Saudis
Is it true you’re from the Saudi soda family?
Yes. Our cousins from Kabylle in Algeria run a small soda pop factory for whom we penned the radio jingle "saudi soda time"...
'get some sunshine in your soda, its saudi soda time
when you hear that magic sound (pop!), and everything turns to glass
its a rainbow in a bottle, all you have to do is ask'
Where is your accent from?
Its an intracit blend, mainly from being just too damn saucy
I heard your planning a future tour of Algeria, do you think the future or music is there?
Algeria needs some music cause the people like it out there. theres little terms of stardom out there. which is much better than having a band or singer who thinks they are a demi god
Every time I see you play live you have more and more members, how many people would you like ideally in your band?
A guitarist for each note on the guitar. 144. plus bassists (for each individual note), 100. singers containg the 8 octaves = 100(individual note). 1 drummer
Where does the inspiration for your music come from?
Sexual problems
How did you meet the other bands that are part of the weekly Wednesdays at the Macbeth?
Down the pub
How many times have you been thrown out of the Macbeth? And how do you persuade the owners to let you back in?
Collectively we have been thrown out of the pub probably about 15 times. We are always readmitted on account of our incredible talent.
Is blood thicker than Saudi soda?

Macbeth by day...
the daily on goings of the macbeth....
John doing work on the gallery....
View from the window overlooking the alleyway. One of the guy from victors doing a crossword. Yesterday he was unblocking/ disturbing the drains with a plank of wood, it smelt like eggs. Maybe i should have taken a photo of that.
Numatic doing some hovering..
Mark and Jack doing some work..
The locals across the road, they seem pretty nice. They're always up surprisingly early as i see them on my way to work everyday.
anyways, this is mainly what happens in the macbeth during the daytime, i guess the night time is alot more fun, but perhaps when all the work on the inside of the pub is done it will be cooler to come up in the daytimes...
