Subterfuge History....

Funkcutter and Candiflip aka PUNKVERT started a new night of twisted bohemian culture in EC1 (an area historically steeped in decadence [darling] and naughty goings on!). Subterfuge began as a monthly affair down at the well-reputed Charterhouse Bar, 38 Charterhouse Street on Sunday 25th April 2004, 6pm-12am, with gracious free entry.

Audience and performers alike, the nights have been packed with a truly eclectic mix of degenerates, subverts, punkverts, pimp-fuckers and crotch-watchers. Cabaret, dancing, debauchery… what better for the day of worship? The ethos of the night is to bring all the elements of culture that we like into one vicious melting pot, something to celebrate. Master of ceremonies- Tam Dean Burn, a well-respected sub-culture stage man is not only performing but also making sure that the tamed get untamed. Guiding us all on the good ship lollipop, destination undisclosed…

A gender bending heady mixture of booty bass, breaks, garage-punk, freak beat, hip-hop, electro and the more twisted side of tech-house are some of the musical genres on offer. Throw in some of the capital’s most well known VJs to provide a sleaze core back-drop of imagery, plus the incredible line up of live acts and you soon get to realize that a carnival of corruption of the highest order is on offer to those that dare.

Subterfuge is now branching out into society after completing an 8 month probationary period down at Charterhouse and teetering on it's heels has fallen into the laps of several other venues. Subterfuge had many events 2005 including the seminal Bad Look Boudoir at BAC in May which was superceded by Bad Look Bordello...

For 18 months Subterfuge acts featured at Alabama3's Outlaw night. at Jamm in Brixton, but have since left regular events to pursue one off specials - such as the Ex Gratia Record Launch at Inn on the Green
