Love Music Hate Racism and sister organisation, Unite Against Fascism, has discovered that 4 bands with clear fascist ties are performing at Slimelight (or Electrowerkz) in Islington on 25 June.

LMHR and UAF have called a protest outside the venue that evening.

Tony Wakeford, leading member of Sol Invictus, is an ex-member of the National Front as well as founding member of known fascist bands Death in June and Above the Ruins. He continues to move in fascist circles.

The other acts performing also have a similarly connected history. These acts use racist lyrics and samples in their songs, as well as abstracted Nazi symbolism in their artwork (see this link for a detailed description and history of all acts involved:  http://www.whomakesthenazis.com/2011/04/weather-warning-shower-of-shit-expected.html).

The well-known Nazi organisation Stormfront also has the event promoted on their website and states that their members will be attending the event ( http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t804709/).

Despite frequent contact and full info given, Slimelight are uninterested in cancelling the event.

LMHR believes that the use of fascist symbols, slogans and lyrics in music not only undermines those that have suffered and died under the attack of fascism in our history, but also seeks to attack our celebrated multicultural society.

We urge all music lovers and anti-fascists to come and protest - and say NO to racism and fascism in our clubs!
