jp's first law states that:
"As a new KJ release date approaches then High Strangness tends towards 
infinity."

screen in a cinema, Bad Taste - home of Theyr have anounced an exhibition 
(and two concerts) in London's Spitz...details follow.

Bad Taste Ltd at The Spitz

The Icelandic record label that launched Björk, The Sugarcubes, Mínus, 
Bellatrix
and Sigur Rós presents two gigs and an exhibition of artwork, portraits and
posters at The Spitz beginning 3rd June.

Celebrating 16 years of Icelandic music and culture, both mainstream and
uncompromising, the sumptuous mix of live music, photography, art and film 
is
presented by Smekkleysa SM widely known as Bad Taste Ltd. - perhaps the most
experimental and daring cultural organization to come out of Iceland.

SPITZ GALLERY– element 3
open all week noon to 5pm > FREE ADMISSION

Lobster Or Fame

Opening: 5 – 16 June 2003

Lobster or Fame is a collage of the Bad Taste label’s history, displaying
posters, record sleeve designs and photos that capture an apparent naïve joy 
and
vibrancy. Historically significant, the little known photographic images 
weave
into the creative core of a label whose anarchic and quirky spirit has 
produced
extraordinary artists and made a lasting mark on both the Icelandic music 
and
art scene as well as having a considerable impact further afield.

We have one pair of tickets to give away for the Tues 3rd June gig and one 
pair
to give away for the Wed 4th June gig. The winners will be the first two 
people
to reply correctly to the following question:

In which city is the record label Smekkleysa SM widely known as Bad Taste SM 
Ltd
based?
