dancefloor religion
11Aug08
Music’s a religion for you, right? As of three weeks ago a Bournemouth club has been forced to take that statement more literally. Hard house night Frenzy (pictured above), has declared itself to be a religion to get around a by-law, imposed by Bournemouth Council, that bans flyering. Marketing material is allowed to be distributed in the streets, say the council, but only for political causes, charities and religious groups.
Frenzy spoke to their lawyers.
Now they describe themselves as “the 21st Century’s first rave cult.” Their first service took place last Friday. It went on until five with DJ Frisky leading the congregation in worship.
What an odd, odd story.
That is brilliant. Mojo Nixon comes to mind who started up the first Church of Elvis. “Elvis is everywhere man, Elvis is still the King.”
Everyone should start their own religion, you get out of paying taxes!
Reform the system by abusing it!
It is strange, but you have to admire their spirit. Rather sweetly they insist that all their devotees pay their council tax on time and don’t drop litter.
The man in this photo scares me…
I hear what you’re saying Bryan – but remember he doesn’t drop litter.
