Out today! featuring all the
The Print Project posters from the last 4 GC gigs at The
Kirkgate Centre

Means of Escape brings together all the 2022-23 Golden Cabinet posters,
plus other similar work created during the same period. It goes some way
to try and illustrate what those nights were like via the medium of
paper, ink and (tut! tut!) toner.

It incorporates all manner of accumulated printing filth gathered
together from years of working on printing presses, horrific typefaces
from a 1970s Letraset catalogue, full colour images with bugs crawling
over / out of them, scary dolls heads, tapeworms and massive spiders, as
well as pages that look like they’ve been slashed with a big blunt knife
and are bleeding out. All of this is infused with a copy of a copy of a
badly dubbed memory of watching video nasties on a clapped out VCR late
at night in a cold draughty room lit by a solitary flickering light bulb
and no curtains, so what’s on the outside can see in but you can’t see
out…and all the escape routes have magically disappeared and turned into
a mass of slithering, writhing worms…

It’s undoubtedly subconsciously / un-subconsciously channelling 70s /
80s giallo / horror films, heavy / black / death / doom metal, Discharge
(the band, not bodily fluids, well actually maybe that too), the occult,
badly photocopied demo tapes from tape trading in the 80s, acid
flashbacks, the utter grimness that you find yourself in at 3am on a bad
come down and those total WTF is going on moments that you never want to
revisit ever again. Or do you?

Covers printed on 200gsm Favini Shiro Alga Carta with the black printed
from a laser engraved block on a Vandercook SP20. The inners are printed
digitally on off white rough paper which came from a dusty, filthy
closed down printers in Shipley with its own decaying horrors and ghosts
of the past.

Roger Grech stabbed them three times with a very sharp needle and sewed
them together with the blackest of threads and then folded and creased
them in half with the bone of a whale.

3.6.23. Last one at The Kirkgate Centre for a while. Tickets go on sale this Wednesday at 8pm. Don’t miss it. Don’t miss out.

We’ve just about recovered from Saturday now, so just wanted to say THANKS A LOT for another mad night, to everyone that played, engineered, attended, grafted, cooked, blasted, oiled, slimed, doored, barred, drinked, laughed, freaked, costumed, lighted, masked, photographed, video’d, shared, complimented etc you all rule and as clichéd as it sounds; without all of this, this would be nothing.
It really is an honour to do this, work with you and see you all. It’s humbling and sometimes makes us want to do a little cry. Bringing people together for a nice time / experiencing new sights / sounds / ideas is central to why we do this.
That gig was due to be our last at The Kirkgate Centre due to the much needed building / re-wiring work which was to begin in March. That’s now going ahead from July so with that in mind we went a bit crazy and booked another gig on 1.4.23, which again it sold out in record time (WTF IS GOING ON WITH THAT?). If you missed out on tickets for it, keep your eyes & ears well and truly open as we will have some news for you…
Thanks again & see you soon.
