Twinterview with… Luke Unabomber

posted: 12/03/10filled under: Featureswords by: Jamie Scahill0 Comments

This is the first in a series of interviews we are doing via Twitter, they could last forever or this could be the only one. We’re keeping it simple and under 140 characters which makes it easy for everyone….

First up is @lukeunabomber

The Unabombers started a basement club the Electric chair. A club became a fanzine. Electric Chair had a sister Homoelectric, for homos, hetros, lesbos, don’t knows and experimento’s. A fanzine became a series of illicit parties Electric Souls, in brothels, lofts and jaunts to hill top hotels. Unabombers made music, started a label and released 7 compilations.

They are involved in a drinking den in Chorlton that is 1 years old called Electrik and host a festival in Croatia called Electric Elephant. Luke’s twitter posts vary from the truly amazing to the downright shite with everything in between but they always raise a smile for me when reading…
