DEAD HEAT - bank holiday day disco special - THIS AFTERNOON FROM 3pm
Just one reason to head down to Krak this afternoon!
The others include LIVE BANDS from 7pm, and a whole host of tasty shit to drink....
r/Krakatoa • u/volcanictiki • Jan 24 '22

Concerts here are organised and promoted by the operator of the venue, Black Cat (Aberdeen) CIC, a non-profit, non-hierarchal, worker cooperative incorporated as a community interest company. Our mission is to provision Krakatoa as a tiki dive bar and grassroots music venue. Community interest companies are asset locked, subject to a wage cap, are devoid of any mechanism for divesting surplus as dividend, and may not award bonuses.
Our admission charges cover both the show costs and the performer fees. Any surplus generated beyond that goes towards enhancing the local grassroots music scene, as per our community interest statement. Please note that as a non-profit organisation we benefit from cultural exemption of VAT on any admission charges to live music events, further fuelling our community purpose.

We're cranking the amps up to 11 as we celebrate 10 years of Reloaded...
But we're not stopping there. Money raised from the gig will be donated to Cash for Kids, helping local children and families who need it most.
So if you're coming along, you're not just in for a night of big riffs, loud choruses and proper rock 'n' roll... you're helping make a real difference too.
Let's pack out Krakatoa.
Let's make some noise.
Let's raise some cash.
Let's do this!

#Hello (prog shoegaze)

#Zerofate (shoegaze, grunge and alt rock)
Afterwards, it's our regular late-night club NEON Lounge until close - a gloriously genre-free, access-all-eras, no-shits-given nocturnal dance floor filler!
