And on to more charity related stuff, but this time it's a live date at the Medicine Bar next Wednesday, featuring Tommy Lee of Motley Crue on Live Drums jamming alongside DJs Adam Freeland Plump DJs, Evil Nine and DJ Aero, which all sounds rather interesting. The artists are all appearing free of charge for charity Our World, Our Say, who are campaigning against the ID Cards Bill.
Organiser Adam Freeland says: "Opposing the ID Cards Bill & the National Identity Register is something I feel strongly about. Not only is it an infringement on our basic human rights (privacy and discrimination), I just don't want my identity on one central database which could potentially be hacked. I don't want to show my fingerprint scan every time I make a transaction. I don't want the government to spend at least £19 billion of our money on a scheme that clearly won't hinder terrorism. I want the right to keep my identity to myself. I don't want to live in a police state, which is where we are rapidly going unless we speak out and oppose these bills, which quietly take away our rights one at a time. I'd like to fight to hang on to this thin veil of western democracy while I can before we all become like epsilons from an Aldous Huxley novel."
So, it all takes place at the Medicine Bar as aforesaid, 89 Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch, 9pm until 2am. There's no guest list, obviously, and entry is a minimum donation of £5. To sign up to help fight the proposed bill go to http://www.owos.info. Press info from Get Involved.
