SICKNOTE: END OF THE WORLD PARTY
.
Cardiff punk legends Sicknote ( http://sicknote.tv/ ) will be topping the bill in an apocalyptic performance at Cardiff Masonic Hall, on Friday the 21 st of December 2012, from 8:00pm to 2:00am. The venue is located at 8 Guildford StreetCardiff, South Glamorgan CF10 2HL. Spaces are limited, so it is recommended to book tickets in advance (price 12) at http://sicknote.bandcamp.com/merch/end-of-the-world-party-advance-ticket .

With their anarchic post-punk live performances and socially responsible songs such as Death Before Employment and Tory Swing (i.e. from the end of a rope), the freakish five known as Sicknote have long been Cardiffs leading voice of social collapse. It is only fitting, therefore, that they should be providing the soundtrack to the apocalypse itself. As the Mayan Calendar draws to its end, what better way to see the world go down in fire and brimstone than at this totally irreverent rave, rather than cowering in your home-made bomb shelter with a tin of cold beans?

Set in Cardiffs Masonic Hall, the atmosphere is spot-on for occult mysteries and horrors to unfold. Just in case the world fails to explode, however, there are subversive support acts lined up to see through the whole night with a bang. Other live acts include performances by ska rave group China Shop Bull and the hilariously offensive folk-punk poetics of Captain Hotknives. Tantrum Records own Tommy Tank will be DJing the event along with electro artist Slamfish, and the master of ceremonies for the night will be Cardiffs premier prophet (and occasional drag queen) Ninjah. You couldnt ask for better company in which to meet your maker.

Though not compulsory, Steampunk dress is encouraged (You wouldnt want to look out of place in the post-apocalyptic society, after all). There will be prizes for the best and most daring steampunk outfit. Human sacrifice is unlikely, though that will probably be one of the few social taboos not violated by the end of the evening
You might have known the Masons would be involved
