A message from Empower...

“For Empower its important that people are not giving money because they feel sympathy or have the image of [sex workers as] victims, [with] no choice etc etc.... Sex workers in Thailand are Sweet Smart, Strong and Sexy..the head of the family providing a good income for the family and the country. Sex workers in Thailand don't want anything special..just the same protections, benefits and rights as other workers and members of society. Together they join as Empower to fight for a space in society to stand proud, strong and still sexy!! Empower hopes everyone will be bad and have a great time! We hope you have a lot of fun for your event.”

"World Grind Domination" @ MIUC 11/09/2012

Some great new collaborations, and a long awaited soloist this week at MIUC. Pete Warden has been making some pretty strange instruments in recent times, and performing on them under the name of Onion Engine. For this show, he has recruited his comrades from Electric Jellyfish, along with some additional guests, to let the psychedelic, outsider-garde sonics fly. World Grind Domination, features some of our favourite avant metalists in a new double voice/double blastbeat quartet. Brutal! And Harriet Morgan with her signature, abstracted black-metal-inspired grimcore solo project.

 • Onion Engine, featuring: Pete (ticks, pots and bits of tin), Adam (low strings and wires), Jake (bill the modified guitar and tuna tins), Mike(high screechy strings)
• World Grind Domination, featuring: Pete Hyde (voice), Brad Smith(drums), Max Kohane (drums) and Nik Kennedy (voice)
• HKM, AKA: Harriet K Morgan (blackened bass and tape collage)
