Council crackdown on "raves"

[Jonno]

A new crackdown has been lauched:

Grave of the rave? Councils are sent battle plan for a long, hot summer | Local Government | SocietyGuardian.co.uk

"Predicting a return to a summer of illegal parties, the association warned councils that young people had tired of mainstream bands and were turning to "nu-rave" music that was not available at established clubs and festivals."

I just gotta have me that nu-rave music but the clubs don't play it

WTF?

[betty spaghetti]

What the chuff is nu-rave? Whats with all the labelling of music nowadays its enough to make me feel like Im getting old...

Albeit would be well up for stumbling across some random out door rave in a field this summer

It urged local authorities to scan MySpace and internet message boards to gather intelligence of plans for illegal raves which could "ruin the lives of local residents" and expose music lovers to risks in places beyond the easy reach of the emergency services. Council staff should also visit pubs and clubs to pick up flyers advertising such events.

Probably by leaving all their 'ecstacy wrappers' lying around

If an illegal event was being organised, councils should help the organisers apply for a temporary event licence on suitable land.

Can you imagine the local council or the police (wankers) actually giving any organisers any help organising any sort of rave. Local police tried to stop us putting an old skool night in our local club cos it was classed as a rave. They couldnt do feck all cos we were all members and it was a ticket only event for members and signed in legitimate guests.

New Rave (sometimes referred to as nu-rave)[1] is a label applied to a style of music fusing elements of electronic, disco music and punk, which developed in the UK in 2006.[1] It has similarities with US-led style dance-punk. Music publication NME is largely responsible for popularising the term, which has connotations of the genre being a 'new' version of 'rave' as well as being a corruption of the term 'new wave'.

Klaxons,[1][2][3], New Young Pony Club[4][5][6][7] and Shitdisco[1] are generally accepted as the main exponents of the genre.

The aesthetics of the New Rave scene are largely similar to those of the original rave scene, being mostly centred around psychedelic visual effects. Glowsticks, neon and other lights are common, and followers of the scene often dress in bright colours.[1][8]

We should do it!!

A generator, some petrol, some decks, lights and Dj's .. . . .Why the hell not.

We once "organised" one in an Army firing range on the top of Egton moor after the Whitby Regatta in 1990. . . .it was pure East Coast Class.
