Fucking crazy way to end the year! It was stressful on our end definitely but i dont think i could have it any other way.

AUGUST / SEPTEMBER 2012

Hi all

Private Parties 1 + 2 didnt go out too well but could be worse.

Thanks to those who came.

Thanks to those who helped out.

Sorry to The Psalms and Bloody Rejects because time ran out and you couldnt play.

Thanks to all bands who played and understood.

Those who couldnt come due to genuine reasons, its alright, hope to see you next time.

Those who couldnt come due to laziness, distance and general ignorance, fuck you, you bloody pieces of shit. Stop being spoilt consumerist whores. Go to a show once in a while.

Don't fucking understand the mentality of the so called scene, got to keep on keeping on. And people got to grow some fucking balls and stay punk otherwise there's no scene to go back to after you realize life in the 'real world' isnt so rosy. Haha. Go figure.

Anyway strange two months lie ahead.

AUGUST
8th August // Wednesday, 8pm, $10 at the door. With NEID (grindcore Italia) + 3 more bands TBC. Happening and confirmed at The Substation.

SEPTEMBER
9th Sept // Sunday (details TBC). With WAKE THE DEAD (melodic hc, France)

15th Sept // Saturday (details TBC). With WICKED SUFFER (Indo thrash) and ENSLAVE (Japan emo crust hc). In collaboration with Blackhole212 (as usual, just this time Blackhole212 is 'boss')

18th Sept // Tuesday (details TBC). With CDC (beatdown hc from USA). Hopefully with some help from the new era generation of hc kids, simply because they need to get up and get some shit done.

25th Sept // Tuesday (very likely at Goldkist Resort, Lotus Room @ East Coastpark,) With SUBHUMANS (UK old Anarcho punk), SEVEN CROWNS (UK melodic punkrock) + 2 more bands TBC. Collaboration with T.L.R., and this time T.L.R.'s the boss too :-)

Full details in a few weeks.

Keep your eyes and ears open.

For now just read those zines, put on those tapes, circle pit till death and fuck shit up. Support the scene, dont be a fucking asshole, dont be irresponsible (you fuckers know who you are), and turn up at shows with your heart and mind in the right place. Punk goes beyond images you fucking assholes. We dont have a common space/hangout anymore, shows dont happen all the time so take some fucking effort to stay real. Please, you fucks.

The world is fucked, we need punkrock, grow some fucking balls and stay punk.

See you in the pit.

NIGHT OF THE NEW ERA (11 July!)

Hello everyone

This is this coming Wednesday!

See you there!


Also, just some very important remarks.

Prohibited Projects is NOT professional, stuff is done from the heart, and we wouldnt have lasted so long and keeping on keeping on if not for lots of help from friends.

THANK YOU to all those who came and supported the shows, the door crew from the days of Hams and Yati, to the Vans-Watie-Mary combo, Cat + Terence the most vicious tag team for any door crew, Jazz, Azura, Wendy, Zana, Ashley etc. Hafiz and Blackhole for saving my life many times, Amir Kadir for having that crazy energy at that age, partners in crime like Pathetic Ape, Azadghei, Epidemic, TSS, etc. the Drunk Drivers squadron for not drinking when we need you, the general crew squad from our very first show, theres too many of you, particularly these few months have been fun, thanks so much to the crazy ass clan from B-Hood, P-Town, Siglap // Side and of course the unholy Ah Kong Brigade.

Lastly to The Substation for years and years of support for not only art, but for hardcore punk as well.

Thank you for helping keep the underground real and for putting so called professional gig organizers sucking their own thumbs.

Also might be doing the XIBALBA show April 12th. Also because LEARN TO TRUST is a reliable reference.

Chaos and disorder is the rule of the day.

THANK YOU!


THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR COMING DOWN TO DISTRO DAY OUT.

It was highly massive, the first day we had 100 walk ins before 3pm, which was always a good sign and almost all distros went home smiling after the first day. Sales went from decent to insane, this hardly happens. Not one to advocate consumerism, subjectively this was a success because all distros in Singapore have the same problem; our stock doesnt 'move'!

Second day was not as crazy but it was fulfilling nonetheless with 'celebrity' distro Azadghei setting up stall and selling a billion patches and rare tapes/CDs/vinyl!

Watch out for D.D.O. part 2!

And remember we have NIGHT OF CIRCLE PIT 3 on Friday 10th Feb!!!!!

Chaos + Disaster for life!!!!!!

Friday, January 27, 2012

some notes for those who would like to join
- this is total DIY, if you're a fake 'independent' type distribution with major label deals or operate and treat your 'consumers' and 'bands' like a major label, think twice about being part of this. this does not necessarily mean you are not welcome, but it also doesnt mean you are. Go figure, if you are the real deal you will understand what i mean
- you dont even need to be 'established' to take part. even if you are a regular kid with too many excess tapes and zines that you wanna get rid off, please feel free. of course lets be fair and give the 'bigger and older' folks with hundreds of items on their back catalogue a bigger area in the gallery as opposed to your 10 tapes, 5 CDs and 3 zines.
- no Nazi, Nationalist/Fascist rubbish, no rockstar type bands and labels. if i 'accept' you by mistake, get ready to be dissed by others in the gallery
- the gallery is pretty huge (113 square meters) so distros do come early to 'chope'  (reserve) the best spot.
- you can sell as many items as you want, but please also be open to trading. 
- all distros are responsible for their own area. Prohibited Projects holds no responsibility or liability for lost items.
- Registration is good. Those who register by 27th December 2011 will have their distro / label name on the finalized flyer, out during the new year. Registration guarantees you a space allocation. Last minute walk ins are also OK but get ready to be disappointed if the response to this is too good and you have no space left in the gallery. Remember there will be a space allocated for the noisicians that are performing....so that cuts out some square meters off the 'distro area'.
- spruce up this gathering by bringing posters/banners and stuff.
- live fast, die punk!

Latest info : There will also be a gig on the 29th of January at The Substation Theater to complement Distro Day Out! It will be organized by The Substation crew and it will surely be a blast! Details soon....! 

Below is a special write up on Distro Day Out on the Substation website www.substation.org
“Distro”, short for ‘distribution’, has been an integral part of the underground music community-network since the 90s. Run on principles and mechanisms similar to the slightly more reknowned concept of the ‘bedroom label’, the distro has provided those involved in underground punk/hardcore/metal with an avenue to discover and explore music and literature that would otherwise be almost impossible to find.

Also acting as an alternative to corporate music chain-stores, the distro, while relatively obscure to those not in the loop, are far more accessible as both an enterprise and as a contact base within the DIY spectrum.

Distros worldwide, defunct and current, number in the thousands, and all offer a myriad of options. Some have remained relatively small and bedroom-run, while others retain the warmth of a bedroom label but with proper management and marketing, while a few have (arguably) sold out and become ‘indie-majors’ operating full time with salaried employees. However most, if not all, are rooted in the same belief: to provide an alternative to music and art consumerism.

The distro, in the age of the internet and with the impending demise of alternative music counterculture as we know it, is under significant threat. Distro Day Out is thus a representation of various ideals; to remind us all that the pillars of an alternative and underground music scene was built on independent physical non-virtual representations (ie: paper zines, CDs, vinyl records, cassette tapes, etc), to remind us that anyone and everyone can be an alternative to the major label / mainstream filth that is forced down our throats everyday, to remind us of our right to ownership of what could be deemed ours. Most significantly, it is open to everyone for free, and everyone within the scene has every right to be part of it in any way, from setting up a little distro booth to just being part of a rare unprecedented carnival atmosphere in The Substation Gallery.

With a focus on South East Asian underground music ranging from hardcore, punk, indie, metal, reggae-ska to electronica, Distro Day Out will feature both casually run and established distros within the region, and everyone will converge and set up shop, giving the kids that reminder again. Yes, once again, ANYONE can walk in and set up shop.

Set up exhibition-gallery style in a flea market carnival concept, Distro Day Out is where one should go to see that the underground is beyond just gigs, it is where one should go to check out rare music and merchandise. Distro Day Out will also feature guest electronic musicians DJ Urine (distorted disco from France), Kawabata Mokoto (ex Acid Mother’s Temple, one man noise assault from Japan), and local electronica destructo-harsh maniacs Circuit Trip; all of whom are playing the opening on 28 January 2012.

‘House’ music will be provided by DJ Bastard and friends, ‘spinning’ South East Asian hardcore, punk, metal and indie non stop on those two days.

This event will also be complemented by a music gig in The Substation Theatre, featuring a host of local bands on Sunday 29 January 2012. More details will be available closer to the date.
