WE ARE BACK!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the January phase of SINGAPUNK BIENNALE!

Our opening day was slow because it was set up day, thanks those who came! The next 5 days are going to come fast, hard and fun as hell!

Lookout for our anchor event PUNK THEATRICS, running from 22-24 Jan (Wed-Fri), as well as the introduction of the PUNK THEATRICS All-In / Pao-ka-leow ticket going for $40 each direct from The Substation Box Office!

Also check out other events such as LABEL RESIDENCY, MAKE YOUR OWN DEMO, PUNK PLAYGROUND, THE GATHERING and of course the very much anticipated DISTRO DAY OUT 2014!

Everything is happening at THE SUBSTATION, 45 Armenian Street!

See you!

SINGAPUNK BIENNALE January 2014 programmes!!!!

Hello all
Welcome to 2014!

The December programmes were awesome, thanks all for making it happen!

We have a similar groundbreaking line up for the January 2014 phase of SINGAPUNK BIENNALE!

It will run from 20-25th January, with the original 26th January slot CANCELLED.  Why, because it is smack in the middle of a hectic January-February period for anyone involved in punkrock and alternative arts. It will be after the much-awaited DISTRO DAY OUT 2014 on 25th January, so lets NOT do an anti-climatic overkill.

They will all be at The Substation in 3 different areas; the Theatre, Gallery and Random Room!

We have these programmes in store for you
RANDOM ROOM (3pm - 9pm daily, FREE!)
- LABEL RESIDENCY : the little Random Room will be turned into an improvised record store from 20-22nd January!
- PUNK PLAYGROUND : after Label Residency the room decor will segue into a Punk Playground, a kids-friendly playroom to pay homage to punks who are also parents. Not only are they responsible, they are STILL punkrock and whacko, they didnt become boring like some of you who might be reading this. Haha. 23-25th January!

THEATRE (various timings)
- MAKE YOUR OWN DEMO : is based on an Open Call where all bands/artists are invited to record their demos for FREE! This is solely on a first come first served basis and will run only on 21st January (Tue) from 3pm-9pm! Email singapunk@gmail.com for more details. 20th January is a non-participative set up day where only certain lucky bastards will be invited. (RSVP only)
- PUNK THEATRICS (7pm - 10pm) : this is the grande programme of SINGAPUNK Biennale in January. Punks and theatre? Punkrockers and acting? Actors working with punks? Whaaaaat??? 3 days, from 22-24 January, are you sure? Skits, playlets and a double bill musical!!! WHOAAAA! It might work or be a total disaster. Come and find out!
  • Wed Jan 22 (SKITSOPHRENIA) - $15 entry
  • Thurs Jan 23 (PROPORTIONALITY : a double bill playlet feature!) - $15 entry programme A // $15 entry programme B (or both for $20)
  • Friday Jan 24 (PUNK MUSICAL : a double bill acoustic musical?!) - $20 entry

    Also lookout for the PUNK THEATRICS zine, a possible PUNK THEATRICS SEASON PASS (watch everything for $40 flat!) and of course the manic mysterious weirdo; Joe Lobang.
 
GALLERY (3pm-9pm daily, FREE!)
- The GATHERING : is a symposium revolving around the crafts of Silkscreen Printing, Fine Art, Photography and...uhm....Haircuts. It's going to be fun as hell and will run from 20-23rd January, from 3pm - 9pm.
- IN THE SHADOWS....is a fringe event of Punk Theatrics. The Substation Gallery will be turned into a dramatized museum, resembling ruins, to the chants and moans of the angry mob. Performed in darkness by a motley crue of hardcore punks! This will be a special elite time from 6pm to 8pm on 24th January!
- DISTRO DAY OUT 2014 : in its 3rd year. A carnival of South East Asian distros. That's pretty much all you need to know because it will be super fun!

As usual all programmes are free unless otherwise stated.
