Beats, Booze &... well, let's face it... you already know it's in the BEST surroundings :-D !!! Gather Round people & let me tell you a story of a time before CDJ's, Serato & Ableton... when the mighty DJ wielded a weapon called vinyl and could reduce his opponents to quivering wrecks with the all powerful dubplate!! This... in fairness was only about 4 or 5 years ago... if that... haha!! It's abo
ut time we all dusted off our wax and allowed it to see the cold hard light of day once again!! Gather Round has been saying to DJ's...
'Don't you miss playing your beautiful records? Why would you allow them to gather this thick layer of dust i see covering them like a tramps blanket?'
:'-(
'Records that you spent soooo much time, money, blood, sweat & tears scouring the globe for, cataloging and loving them like they were each your own little spherical offspring!!??'
:-O
'Don't you miss walking into a gig with your big ol' box of tunes, feeling like zee man (or zee woman!) & tearing the roof off of the place!?!'
:-)
'Don't you miss waking up the next morning aching cos' you've carried the equivalent weight of a VW Golf around with you all night?... ON ONE SHOULDER!!... but not caring cos' U KILLED IT LAST NIGHT!!... & probably scored with a pretty member of the opposing sex too ay' Mr/Mrs DJ ?!?...nudge nudge, wink wink. Vinyl is after all so much more attractive than a laptop ;-) !!!!
:-P
And the resounding response was... of course... 'F**K YEAH WE DO!!!'
:-D
So we shall GATHER IN DUST left in the wake of DJ's whipping out the old vinyl left right and centre and have a partay!!
'But where can we hold such a mystical & controversial happening??'
'Hmmm...well...it needs to be cool...in fact the coolest place there is!! Needs good booze... actually no... the best booze going, but at stand up prices (cos' we all wanna get on it)...!'
'Hmmm. yeah, yeah good point!!'
'Oh it's gotta be free entry!'
'Obviously!!'
'And the best people... in fact the bestest!'
'OOOH OH..... I KNOW.... THE FONT!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAY!!!'
And so Gather Round have 'gathered' an army of vinyl vigilantes & are going to bring YOU (cos' let's face it...it's all about YOU!!! :-D) DJ's from across the board, from all walks of life, styles of music, all over the country & maybe... if your well behaved... the world. The wax has been dusted... 1210's at the ready...needle's sharp and pointy and crossfader ready... to be replaced... every damn week probably knowing my luck with the damn things... haha!! Oh & the booze will be flowing steady all night as standard & served by your favourite fantabulous Font staff!! We may even record the evenings & get em' up online so ya'll can relive the frivolities over & over... 'Yooo... that was the choon braaaav!!' or 'My my... remember when Chad fell over & took Chauncy with him yar... that night was sooo much more fun than our whole garp yaar put together h'what what?!?' or something like that... LOL. So peeps... all that's left to do is clear your diary, make your way to The Font & Gather Round !!! (See what we've done there... it's a gathering & records are round so... hey... hey... not just a ridiculously pretty face you know!!!)
Vive La Vinyl Revolution!!!!! Croissant Croissant!! (Oooh maybe we'll give away free croissant's at the first night... ooh ooh & little flags... or summat!!)
AAAAANYWAY... remember... vinyl may warp, scratch, jump, pop and crackle... but it will never crash on your ass!!!! :-D :-D
GATHER IN DUST PEOPLE!! XxX
Big love
The Gather Round Boys :-D
