INTERVENTIONS RETROSPECTIVE
INTERVENTIONS
'interventions' squat show series started in late 2011. influenced by the 'the city & the city' series and inspired by it's conclusion, the lack of 'interesting' shows at the time & generally being sick of/refusing to abide by the inherent restrictive nature of a venue. the idea was to host squat shows in different public locations around brisbane city with only battery-powered equipment and to be open to all artists.
all shows are strictly all-ages + b.y.o. + free. this is a brief historical record of the events so far. intervention #9 is soon...
......
All Day Breakfast compilation launch
'All Day Breakfast Enterprises' asked Interventions to help plan, promote and organise the second night launch of their local band mixtape. Originally to be held in an inner-city nature reserve, surrounded by residential houses, the weather predictions for the day forced us to make a choice of risking a thunderstorm + damaging the artists equipment or move to a safer alternative. We ended up at Real Bad Music. This wasn't considered part of the Interventions series but has been included here for historical record:
"adb launch" - 16/11/2012

HTDITP and Mutanteer performed in an apartment building basement carpark then i was threatened by a neighbour and was told police will be called if we didn't leave immediately. mutanteer finished regardless and then we walked over to an office building alley-way/car park to see Alrey Batol and Girls! Girls! Girls! perform - a very rare solo set by Alrey, 'old school' harsh noise via radios & circuit bent electronics. after g!g!g! we walked over to the sky needle to see the return of Equalizer 24k (nicola morton's early 00s noise project), last seen over 10 years ago. Lights Over Duga-3 put a cap to the night with a violent, glass-smashing, free-flying cymbal & broken trumpet set lasting no more than three minutes. neighbours called the cops after the set but the damage was done.'

THE END OF THE NIGHT AVAILABLE FROM "TURN IT UP TO 10" BLOG HERE:
small errors in the blog post there: Unwar (Michael Donnelly of Hashram label, 6Majik9, +) performed, not Ffehro (Michael & Eon (who was not present)). The jam was between some, not all of the artists.
