Too right. It takes some guts to protest so vociferously against someone like Putin within Russia itself. They've certainly been prepared to suffer for their beliefs and their art. I wouldn't fancy spending nearly two years in a Russian gaol like two of them have. It's not just the state that they risk reprisals from its also certain dubious sections of their society, a prime example of which made their presence felt in France during the last Euros.Thanks for the heads up , Dunno what their music will be like , but admire them greatly
Anybody else go today?
Correct use of a Sunday afternoon. Watch the sun set over the magnificent decaying ruins of the West Pier (how do the starlings DO that?!) then across the road to Pool Valley, to The Haunt, for the sold out Sunday matinee of 'Riot Days', a one hour mix of music, movie and punk propaganda led by Maria Alyokhina, one third of Russian agitprop collective Pussy Riot. I'd feared the worst, that it would be something of an incoherent mess. Far from it! The cleverly joined-up piece narrates the lead-up to, and execution of a demonstration against the Putin-led Russian State and Orthodox church in a Moscow cathedral in February 2012 in the run-up to the following month's election, the subsequent trial and imprisonment of the band, and the relentless challenging of the prison authorities for convicts to be treated as human beings with basic human rights, as told from the viewpoint of Alyokhina. It's sparse, grinding and spell-binding and the all-Russian narration adds beautifully to the harshness of the piece (there's English subtitles on the accompanying movie). In the end it's about not letting the bast*rds grind you down, or as Alyokhina puts it 'to back down an inch is to give up a mile'. Punk's not dead, it just evolved.

Oh , Bother !
Forgot all about this event
any more reviews ?
Well, sort of. The Argus reviewer LITERALLY nicked my review from on here, grammatical constructs included, padded it out a bit and passed it off as his own. Unbelievable Jeff!

The Argus's official complaints procedure has been invoked. Watch this space...
Oh, and taking a swift look at the twit's twitter account, turns out he's almost certainly a fellow NSC poster. Sake!
