NO LOOK NO LUCK AT KASHPOINT by KOSMO
The current venue is a kitschy, plush and dimly lit 1970s style disco nightclub. There are hundreds of mirrors, which suits KASHPOINT perfectly, creating both a narcissistic and voyeuristic atmosphere.
If you manage to get in, door whore Ryan Styles greets you, latest Outfit cross between 'Goldfinger', cockroaches a la 'Naked Lunch' and Zandra Rhodes. His door policy: 'No look no luck!'
There are themes each month including homage to Leigh Bowery. Last theme was 'Monarchy in the UK' and next will be Pier Pressure. Guidelines of how (not) to dress? According to glamorous Glamorre it's:' …Harbour Hats, Hump Backs, Hankies on Head; Cottons and Canvas …bury your dad to his albatross neck.'
The images on KASHPOINT's flyers and press material present abstract faces with a massive mutilated nose, a mouth removed and stuck onto the cheek or a massive bump on the forehead reminiscent of Cindy Sherman's recent work.--The more outrageous and decadent the better.
The music is mostly contemporary, but 80s inspiration filters through.:' We are serious about music; we're the first club in Britain to champion the new sound of that we call 'Alko Pop' or 'Pop Core' the now sound of Britain.
A mix of laptops, guitars & electronix it is 'angular' with attitude, vocals & guts.'
Next KASHPOINT will be on Thursday 26th of March.
And for all those who are dying for more there's the weekly radio show and a KASHPOINT album! KASHPOINT radio show on Wednesdays 22.30to 23.30pm.on : www.resonancefm.com - www.kashpoint.com
