Shunt

Our details aren’t on the website but don’t be fooled, we are performing!

Wed 4th and Thurs 5th at 9pm (ish)

Its £5 to get in on the door. There’s the Paper cinema on before us who do beautiful animations with beautiful music and there’ll be a man in a boat talking about neutrinos with real Sonic Booms and Little Bulb wearing red tights. We’re building a special ramp for maximum speed. Should be a great night.

Important: You need photo ID to get in!

All the film we’ve got back is in the process of being developed and uploaded onto a digital archive which you will soon be able to see online. If you’d like to be informed when this happens then get in touch (info@actionhero.org.uk) or just keep an eye on the news page and we’ll post a link here when its set up.

Cheers.

This week we’ve started working on a new show.  We’re going to take our time making this one and allow it to develop and evolve nice and slowly but its got the working title ‘Frontman’ at the moment and we’ll be showing a tiny 10 minute work-in-progress of it at the Forest Fringe Bristol weekend in Edinburgh on 22nd and 23rd August at 4:30pm.

So far this week we’ve watched Iggy Pop on You tube, constructed our own riders,  dedicated our work to all the brothers and sisters and set fire to our guitars.
