Fascists played twice at Ye Old Salutation
Tagged as: anti-racismNeighbourhoods: central
Fascist bands played twice at Ye Old Salutation. Not oi!, really, fascist. Evidence included.
Ye Old Salutation has been hosting fascist gigs for music label Pure Impact Records, which is associated with the former label of fash band Screwdriver, among others, since at least 12.05.2012, most recently last month. Sometimes they dress it up with "leave your politics at the door" crap, but it's all just for show. Ye Old Salutation has also hosted a love music hate racism gig recently, so maybe the owners are unaware. Obviously fascists should not be hosted by any venue, and definitely not in the centre of Nottingham.
There was a recent concert on 10.11.12 with Skinfull and other extreme right bands. There was also an earlier concert on 12.05.12 with known openly neo-Nazi bands Skinfull and Citizen Keyne. The other bands I didn't look into or instantly recognise. Sometimes far right bands play alongside "grey zone" bands (bands that will play with both extreme right and left wing bands), however in this case it doesn't look like any of the bands are even grey zone. As an example, Skinfull have Nazi tattoos, Citizen Keyne have a photo on their main page where one is wearing a "white and proud" shirt.

pure impact nazi loving scum
Article is not well written and has a lot of stuff that is hard to prove, however it is enough just to look at the gig organizer, pure impact records and what sort of shit they are selling. amongst oi and punk you will also find openly nazi bands so that should be enough to stop those gigs from happening. Also this skinfull lot are well dodgy and clearly mates with fash (bit of a research and you can find out on what sort of gigs they are playing and what they are saying, that should be enough), probably just not having enough guts to openly admit they are fascists themselves as seems to be a trend in last years.
Thanks
It's really not my scene. I posted because after a friend posted previously it didn't seem any action was taken and there were lots of questions. I wanted to simply pass it on to the right people so THEY can do a better job. Not even in Notts anymore but obviously concerned when I see fash gigs in Notts reported on an expert German fash oi! watch blog.
BTW - checked up a bit more on Citizen Keyne and take back that about the T-shirt, it says STAND proud.
I've referred this article back to Oireszene and hopefully they can provide more info for those that really need it. Have offered to translate if need be. Please realise I'm not actively involved in Antifa, I just agree with Antifa and wanted to be sure folk in Notts were aware and could do their own checks.
Personally, I just take one look at Pure Impact and the stuff they sell and that's enough. I'm done making excuses for scum. ;)
Some pics etc. I found on a quick search:

They are commonly referred to as an RAC band (rock against communism). They've been banned from some events, such as the Streetpunk Christmas Festival, because of their playing at the far right rock festival "Live and Loud" in Belgium together with the neo-Nazi band Endstufe from Bremen. Endstufe are a known far right band and they are on the same label.

If desired....
Can translate the detailed info on the scene on Oireszene for future reference. It explains the crossover and greyzone.

Have a go with Google translate, if desperate will try to find the time to translate it.
P.S. - Citizen Keyne - 18
See here on the Citizen Keyne website -

More evidence against Skinfull
On Skinfull, they posted this on their page: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=389491217769219&set=a.118016051583405.47611.103236909727986&type=1
That, to me, definitely looks like it's a full-on Blood & Honour-type gig with bands that are too well-known for being nazi to play in public.
Sharing stages with Pressure 28
Plus, Pressure 28 are definitely full-on fash (28 = BH = Blood & Honour), their singer Kevin Gough is a well-documented BNP/C18 member: see, for instance http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/programmes/2001/bnp_special/membership/other/kevin_gough.stm and http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/news/article/1979/ginas-nazi-pals for proof of the Pressure 28 connection.
Skinfull and Citizen Keyne have both played gigs with Pressure 28, see https://www.facebook.com/events/131102956949965/ and https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151000290937106&set=a.419898357105.192114.126538117105&type=1&relevant_count=1
So, if these bands aren't openly fash, they definitely have links to that side of the scene.
Pressure 28 advertised the gig

Free speech
Oh yeah your pals the Nazis were really keen on free speech weren't they!
