Introducing...Adam Christensen! ๐
A Danish artist based in south London, makes performance, video, fabric and text works, and performs with the music project Ectopia, which was .arts.centreโs band-in-residence in 2016 โจ
Whether in homes, clubs, galleries or streets, his performances are always intimate stagings that combine personal recollections with theatrical deliveries ๐ฎ
Xtravagant costumes, heels, make-up. Emotionally affective accordion performances where the heaviness of voice and sorrow of delivery transport artist and listener somewhere else entirely! ๐งก
We are proud to be introducing another underground icon to our lineup โจ all the way from Glasgow! ๐

The third and final venue to introduce is ๐ธ
This is where we will be hosting our afterparty and dancing the night away until 5am ๐
This place was pretty ledgendary in the 90s back when it was Bluenote, when Russ Marlandโs () party โOut in the Sticksโ used to happen there every weekend โจ In an article about the clubnight, called Todmorden โa town famous for alien abductions, being home to two Nobel Prize winners and it's proximity to the hippy dippy Northern enclave that is Hebden Bridge. Overflowing with more good pubs than is necessary, there's a market that sells everything from baby grows to burritosโฆ and a massive f**k off monument that gives whole place a distinctly acid-y, fallen rural idyll vibe.โ ๐ฑ๐ฝ
Swipe to see some snippets of a night we put on there recently ๐
Tickets on sale for the festival now, link in bio โฌ๏ธ also, big line-up reveal incoming on Monday! ๐ฅ

A venue that needs no introduction is ๐ฅ
This place has built a reputation not only in Todmorden but internationally - Gig and Wakaโs commitment to the underground music scene has played a huge role in inspiring us to put on Iconoclast ๐
In fact, Iconoclast might not even exist if it wasnโt for Kiya and Kim first meeting there one evening, dancing the night awayโฆwhich unsurprisingly lead to getting our t**s out on the dancefloor and we like to think this may have even played a part in inspiring the song โDance Your Tit Out!โ by ๐๐ from one of the EPs out on Golden Lion Soundsโฆ (oh yeah the Lion has itโs own record label too!) โจ
This year has already seen the likes of (Studio 54) + โฆand we are super excited to see there next month! ๐
For Iconoclast in July, weโll be taking over the whole pub with music throughout the day and night, featuring some special live performances in the evening. Weโre hoping upstairs will be as much of a sexy sweat pit as last year! ๐ฅต๐ฅ

Introducing our first venue to kick off the festival is ๐ท
first opened in 2020 and is run by our good friends and talented artists + โจ
We would consider this place our home and a vital community hub for many q***r artists and musicians in Todmorden ๐ The list of treasured memories made here is countless... but some of our faves from the last year have been when played the most sweaty party for ever๐ฅ๐ฅต, the Trans Pennine Excess party with mega babes + ๐, NYE with all the lovely locals ๐ and many open decks sessions on a Sunday to soothe our hangovers ๐ฅฐ
This year we will be kicking off the festival with the garden party on the terrace ๐ธ๐ป๐บ๐ผ๐ฑ The day sesh will feature one of our very exciting headline acts (to be revealed soon!) ๐ฆ๐
This place is proof that size doesn't matter! ๐

Happy New Year from us! Weโre back and already planning Iconoclast for 2022 ๐โจ in the meantime, hereโs some lovely memories of last yearโs antics ๐

PLEASE READ RE Valley Fever w/ Wes Baggaley + High Hoops THIS SATURDAY - CHANGE OF VENUE TO Nan Moor's 7PM - LATE!
***IMPORTANT CHANGE OF TIME + VENUE***
Yesterday we received disappointing news from Smoke Nightclub that they can no longer host our event on Saturday due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding covid, meaning they are unable to open this weekend. We are gutted ๐ญ
BUT DO NOT FEAR... our good friends at Nan Moor's are coming to the rescue! ๐ซ๐ This means we will be turning Nan Moor's into a mini club, hooking up our great sound system and hosting the same line-up (!!!) from 7pm-LATE! ๐ฅ
This is going to be a very rare chance to see a mega lineup at a small, intimate venue! Anyone remember when we hosted Eris Drew + Octo Octa last year just before the first lockdown happened?! Well imagine that but with lasers and a smoke machine ๐ฝโจ
The night will now be limited capacity - with first come, first served on the door after ticket holders who will be guaranteed a spot. If you would like a refund, please message us and we can sort that out ๐
We are sad but also excited to turn this into a very unique event! Sending all our love ๐ ๐๐๐ท๐ # # # # # # # # # # #

If you didnโt already know, we also run a more regular q***r night in Todmorden called Valley Fever ๐ So seen as itโs Happy Valley Pride weekend on Saturday 11th September, we thought weโd invite Wes Baggaley and High Hoops to play alongside Kim Lana and Esmรฉ to relaunch the new Smoke Nightclub ๐ฅ
Itโs gunna be ace and a proper good rave (itโs till 5am!), so we hope to see you all there for more q***rs in the cuntry debauchery ๐ Weโll also be having a little pre-party do in Nan Moor's to get us in the party mood... so come have a few drinks with us ๐ Letโs keep the q***r scene alive in Tod! ๐๐ฟ
