What are things that inspire your writing? What makes you dig deeper to learn more about the direction you want to head with your music? Things have changed somewhat now, but we keep a certain amount of that ethos in our live sets by chaining each song together with improvised flurries of sonic texture. Back then we were doing completely improvised sets. Nima and Nuha Ruby Ra From Arrows Saw us do an improvised performance at Vicious Collective’s Sunday Service and offered us the show. We supported our long term friends Arrows Of Love. Zilcho, Conso and Hands actually first met at school if you can believe that, and we have been playing music together for over ten years, but M E A T first started as a band without our synth player Oski around three years ago with a show at the Moth Club. When did you collectively gather and begin to write music under M E A T? What the LLDC are doing is some sort of poor biblical sham, a desperate attempt to steal culture and hard creative work and turn it into financial gain, directly opposing the ideals of the community itself so. I believe the riff began with God’s gentrification of Eden. Has gentrification had any sort of riff to the area? The Warehouse and Sunday Service is a hub for creatives to meet and collaborate, and so many wonderful musicians and artists have passed through from Meggie Brown, Sleep Eaters, Bruno Wizard, Silver Apples, Warmduscher, Alabaster Deplume and Nuha Ruby Ra the list goes on…. Our frontman Zilcho Hamblin has been a long-serving member of VC and he has helped curate as well as performed at Sunday Service. ![]() Space is the key! The Warehouse has a lot of it room for people to build projects, space for bands to rehearse and perhaps most importantly Vicious Collective’s Sunday Service a monthly performance night which invites artists to come and try out new projects in an open and accepting space. What makes this space an ideal place for others to construct their projects? “The Warehouse” has become sort of an iconic burrow within the Hackney Wick arts community. ![]() Without the help and encouragement of our local creative community, I doubt we would have had the confidence or the opportunities to get out and start playing in venues around London. When M E A T began we all lived on Fish Island, rehearsed there and did our first performances there. For us, and many artists before us, it gives a space that allows artists to explore and develop their creative skills. What is the creative atmosphere like?įish Island is a place that has inspired artists for generations. Tell me a little bit about Fish Island in East London.
