C0RPORATION

"Trafalgar Warehouse and the Corpyard" We've reopened, but Its a little different to what people would expect from Corporation! Were very very lucky that we own a massive warehouse next door to the club, so can generously space out our tables/chairs. Days - Friday and Saturday Times - 8pm until 11.30pm (later if busy enough) Location - Trafalgar Warehouse entrance on Trafalgar Street Drinks - Table service, ordering via the "Qtap App". (make sure you have locations turned on) Food - Amazing Vegan food by Sunshine Deli We mainly try and get people to book in advance (link below), its helps with our staff planning etc, but walk ups are more than welcome, but they're on a "first come, first served" basis, strongly recommend people book if they can, as we've been fully booked these last few weekends, and the "walk ups" have had to wait until people left. https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Sheffield/Trafalgar-Warehouse/ Some FAQ that might be of use - ----- * What music do you play? Bits of everything really, but mainly - Friday we have DROPS mainroom DJ Ste, predominantly 'blasting out' a quiet mix of alternative and Indie. And Saturday we have DJ Pete from Dirty Deeds chiefly playing his way through the massive back catalogue of all things Rock, Metal and Emo (just not turned up to 11 like normal!). ----- * Can I make requests? Yes, Definitely YES! No matter which night you come down you can request any song your heart desires, from any genre! The DJs are here to make sure you have a good time, so shoot across those requests directly to the DJs via our pages. Friday DROP - https://m.facebook.com/dropsheffield, Saturday Dirtydeeds - https://www.virtualdj.com/ or https://m.facebook.com/dirtydeedscorporation ----- * Can we bring board games to play on our table? The amount of times we've been asked this has surprised us, wasn't a question we expected! But the answer again is a big YES, if you fancy a marathon 'Monopoly' session, or a few hands of 'Cards Against Humanity', whilst listening to some tunes, sippin a pint, who are we to argue, just keep it civilised! ----- * Do you have to book a table in advance? Nope, you can just walk up on the night and try your luck. But to guarantee a table its always best to book in advance, advance tables have sold out these last few weeks and we have had to turn people away at times. To book - https://www.skiddle.com/what…/Sheffield/Trafalgar-Warehouse/ ----- * Can we move tables together? Sorry, big nope! We've purposely placed the tables in such a way to maximise the massive distances between them. We're very lucky we have the space to do this, so please don't move tables or chairs, its for everyone's safety and benefit. ----- * Do I have to wear a mask? Not at all when at your table, but we'd really love it if you did whilst walking around to the toilet etc. ----- * Does my whole group/party have to come at the same time? No, its fine to come in 'bits', just make sure the late comers know your table number.

999 Plus Support From BONES PARK RIDER + SEPTIC PSYCHO'S + CRIMINAL X + BOUQUET OF STEEL DJ'S JAMIE HEADCHARGE & ZOWIE Date - Sat 27th June 2015 Time - 6.30pm Doors Price - £10Adv Address - Corporation Milton st S1 4JU Age - 14+ Book Now!, call - 0114 276 0262 Online Tickets - http://www.corporation.org.uk/gig/1798/ Facebook Event - https://www.facebook.com/events/404241883072411/ 999 celebrated their 38th anniversary on 5th December 2014. The reason for their longevity is not airplay, massive publicity, hype or even a major recording deal but word of mouth and that "word of mouth" now extends to nearly every country on earth. 999 were first conceived in late 1976 when Nick Cash (vocals/guitar) and Guy Days (vocals/lead guitar), who were at school together, decided to form a group. Within a couple of months they had teamed up with Jon Watson (bass) and Pablo Labritain (drums) and 999 were officially born. Their first gig was at the Northampton Cricket Club in January 1977. Interest in the band was immediate and constant gigging around London brought with it critical acclaim and a hard core following of supporters from Southall, calling themselves "The Crew". These ranks were soon swollen by the Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Munich, Vienna, Zagreb, Stockholm, Oslo, Berlin, New York, LA., Toronto, Philadelphia, and San Francisco "Crews" each proving as dedicated as the last. The frenzy and raw energy of the early days were captured by their debut single “I’m Alive on the bands own Labritain label and sold well enough to become a minor hit. Next through their association with United Artists records the second and third singles, “Nasty Nasty” and the now classic “Emergency” were released both scaling the lower reaches of the charts and confirming 999 to be one of the major forces in the British New Wave Movement. The first album titled simply “999” was released and was greeted with impressive sales and critical acclaim. Extensive touring took them throughout Britain and Europe where they now encountered full houses. The second album "Separates" was released and immediately the single "Homicide" leapt straight into the UK top forty without any Radio airplay and was banned by the BBC and most radio stations. Early 1979 saw the band embarking on their first U.S. tour, which was an achievement in itself, as they were still without a record deal in America at the time. Response to the band was ecstatic, all the venues being filled and import albums being sold out in a rush of enthusiasm. The band were immediately booked for a return trip. Since leaving United Artists 999 have recorded another eleven albums. Jon Watson was replaced in 1986 on bass by Danny Palmer and subsequently by Arturo Bassick in 1991.

CHELSEA Plus Support BONES PARK RIDER + NEXUS NOISE + BOUQUET OF STEEL DJ'S JAMIE HEADCHARGE & ZOWIE Date - Sat 9th May 2015 Time - 7pm Doors Price - £10Adv Address - Corporation Milton st S1 4JU Age - 14+ Book Now!, call - 0114 276 0262 Online Tickets - http://www.corporation.org.uk/gig/1772/ Facebook Event - https://www.facebook.com/events/1517987478475347/ It was in August 1976 that Gene October placed an advert in Melody Maker which led to replies from guitarist William Broad, bassist Tony James and drummer John Towe. On October 18th they made their live debut as Chelsea supporting Throbbing Gristle at London's ICA. It was at this time that Gene convinced the manager of gay London nightclub in Covent Garden called Shageramas, to convert the club into London's first live punk rock venue called The Roxy - a fact for which he is given little credit. The band split in November 1976 where Gene briefly recruited guitarist Marty Stacey & bassist Bob Jessie. The other three former members formed Generation X. When Gene was asked about his former band colleagues he said "Generation X? Oh yeah they used to be in Chelsea." In early 1977 Jessie and Stacey left and Gene put together a new line up consisting of guitarist James Stevenson, bassist Henry Daze and drummer Carey Fortune. This line up was slightly more permanent and soon the band's first single, the punk classic Right To Work, was released. However, not long after the release of the second single High Rise Living, Chelsea played their "farewell" gig on October 6th 1977 at The Roxy. Gene appeared in Henry Rollins tour memoir book and spoken word CD; Get In The Van. In the book, Rollins encountered October twice, the first time on an early Black Flag tour of the UK, when October kept kicking Rollins to wake him up. The second encounter occurred during a later Black Flag tour. Gene appeared in two films by Derek Jarman; 'Jubilee', in which he played the character 'Happy Days' and in 'Caravaggio' he appeared as a fruit-eating model. Gene can also be seen in a blue suit at the rugby match scene in the horror film The Omen. Gene appeared on the T.V series Minder and is also the scroll reading monk in the Black Sabbath video for 'Headless Cross'. As we all know "farewell" gigs are not to be taken seriously and in December Chelsea reformed as a five piece with rhythm guitarist Dave Martin, bassist Geoff Myles and drummer Steve J Jones joining October and Stevenson. Extensive gigging and the third single Urban Kids was released before drummer Chris Bashford replaced Steve J Jones. The first album was released in early 1979 and the band continued to tour extensively including UK dates supporting The Clash and another tour, with The Police supporting them ! They also made their first foray into the U.S with an East Coast tour. As the first album contained none of the band's singles, a compilation of them was released as the second album; 'Alternative Hits' which also featured a couple of new tracks. The album sleeve designed by drummer Chris Bashford was banned in the U.S and so renamed 'No Escape' for that territory. This line-ups final show was at London's Notre Dame Hall on May 2nd 1980. They'd actually been together for two years! Sting got up and guested on a few numbers. James Stevenson, after playing on Charlie Harper's debut solo single Barmy London Army, went on to join the final incarnation of Generation X before spending a year in Kim Wilde's band. Stevenson formed Hot Club with former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock and in 1985 he joined Gene Loves Jezebel. Dave Martin and Geoff Myles formed The Smart and as for Gene he did what he'd done before - recruited a new Chelsea line up and took it back out on the road. A temporary line up still featuring drummer Chris Bashford toured America later in 1980 during which their appearance in "Urgh! A Music War" was shot. Then in December 1980 the band split leaving Gene, once again, to rebuild and relaunch Chelsea. Having produced some of Punk's finest moments such as the single Right To Work and the self titled debut LP it seemed to many as though Chelsea's finest days had gone. But Gene had other ideas and over the next three years came up with some of the band's strongest and most enduring material. A new Chelsea line up featuring drummer Sol Mintz, bassist Tim Griffin and guitarists Stephen Corfield and Nic Austin debuted in January 1981. Austin became a strong song writing partner for Gene as aired on Rocking Horse the line up's first single and Chelsea's first for over a year. The band was reduced to a four piece following the departure of Corfield and a gig at London's Fulham Greyhound once again featured Sting guesting on bass as Griffin left the day before, later replaced in September 1981 by Paul "Linc. 1982 saw continuous gigging and the infamous 'So What Tour' with Anti Nowhere League, also the release of the third Chelsea album 'Evacuate' which gained substantial critical acclaim, hailed as "Chelsea's finest hour" in the music press. After1984 this version of Chelsea came to a close. Gene issued a couple of solo singles 'Suffering In The Land' and 'Don't Quit' (the latter featuring James Stevenson and Glen Matlock). Chelsea took a hiatus for a few years before Gene put together various line ups, releasing the albums Original Sinners, Rocks Off and Underwraps which never really lived up to the recordings the band made between 1977 -1984. Underwraps is notable for featuring The Clash's Topper Headon on drums. German punk supergroup; Die Toten Hosen, covered Chelsea's electrifying debut 45 The Right To Work which went platinum. Gene commented (The Loner) "Collectors items... I don't give a damn". 1992 saw Nic Austin's return to Chelsea with new recruits Mat Sargent on bass and Stuart Soulsby on drums. After touring Europe 'The Alternative' album was recorded and released in April 1993 on Miles Copelands I.R.S label 'Alto Ego'. Rob Miller was recruited as 2nd guitarist for 2 extensive Chelsea tours of the UK & Europe also recording the 'Traitors Gate' album which was released in August 1994 on the Wesser Label. Both 'The Alternative' and 'Traitors Gate' albums were produced by Dave Goodman who was known as the Phil Spector of punk and renouned for his work with The Sex Pistols. 1994 also saw the release of the first Gene October solo album; Life And Struggle, which was co-produced by James Stevenson. Mat Sargent went on to join Sham 69, also becoming veteran bass player for Splodgenessabounds. The classic Chelsea line up featuring Gene October, James Stevenson, Dave Martin, Geoff Myles and Chris Bashford reformed for the Social Chaos tour across America in 1999. These were their first shows together since 1980. The line-up of October/Stevenson/Bashford/Myles did sporadic gigs including; Holidays In The Sun festival 2001, Punk Aid at The Garage in London in September 2000 and the 100 Club in London in September 2001. Bassist Tony Barber, borrowed from the Buzzcocks, stood in as bass player for tours of Germany, France, Czech republic and UK appearances. Stevenson joined Mike Peter's revamped 'The Alarm' although he continued playing in Chelsea. 2005 saw the release of a new Chelsea album; ' Faster, Cheaper And Better Looking'. The Chelsea Anthology; 'Urban Kids' was also released in January 2005 on Sanctuary, containing a wide cross section of the band's essential recordings made between 1977 and 1983 as well as some bonus Gene October solo tracks including his never before released version of The Stooges 'Raw Power'. In October 2011, Gene put The Alternative / Traitors Gate, line-up back together, seeing the return of Nic Austin and Mat Sargent after 18 years. James Stevenson plays 2nd guitar and Lee Morrell completes the line-up on drums.

KORY CLARKE (WARRIOR SOUL) Plus SUPPORT Date - Thurs 21st June 2015 Time - 6.30pm Doors Price - £8Adv Address - Corporation Milton st S1 4JU Age - 14+ Book Now!, call - 0114 276 0262 Born, Detroit, Michigan, lived through the riots, heroin wars, cocaine cowboy-ism, and absolute unappreciated isolation. Kory honed his skills as one of Detroit’s best drummers with the guidance of Adam Smith, (Chicago Symphony Orchestra), whom he studied under for 6 years and he taught him much. Growing up in the 1970’s, Detroit, which was the most influential rock n roll audience in the world at that time, he devoured rock and lived it. Coming of age in the 1980’s, he created the Detroit band “The Trial” ‘83-84’ with guitarist Kevin Quinn. He co-produce a record in LA with legendary producer and weirdo Kim Fowley. Kory Clarke then moved to New York and started doing solo spoken word shows called Kory Clarke/Warrior Soul and on a bet turned the performance piece into a band and managed to get a major record deal from Geffen records after a major bidding war. Warrior Soul, with high powered management and a massive record label should have done the trick for this great singer/song writer but unfortunately again he was too far ahead of his time. As the 1990’s turned into a hip hop graveyard, he moved to LA to start a new project that again was to influence new rock n roll bands worldwide and yet still just critical acclaim and not enormous sales. Going into recluse, in the years 2000 – 2003, he gave up on his musical career again to concentrate on his Spoken Word and live a quiet life. The situation changed in 2004 when he started playing again as a Solo Artist as Kory Clarke/Warrior Soul. Beginning to write again, he joined Dirty Rig, with the promise of rock riches once again. Again, this was a temporary situation of one Album, 2 Tours and out, that ended up with him going back to Warrior Soul and creating a new record. Kory reformed Warrior Soul with another new line-up creating a new album now known as ‘Destroy the War Machine’. The band has been touring since 2007 and continues to release records. Kory now lives outside the USA anonymously. He makes records, paints, writes poetry and produces records, enjoying his life in freedom.

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND Plus Support from HALF SIGHT + DEADSET DREAM + CAST ASHORE Date - Wed 3rd June 2015 Time - 7pm Doors Price - £12.00 Address - Corporation Milton st S1 4JU Age - 14+ Book Now!, call - 0114 276 0262 Funeral For A Friend is one of the last remaining bastions of the British hardcore scene that exploded into the mainstream at the turn of the century. Bursting out of Bridgend, South Wales, in 2001, Funeral For A Friend were hailed as the saviours of rock music from a young age and given the task of re-energising a scene in desperate need of fresh blood. They are veterans, in many ways, but fourteen years after their formation and the band still packs as much punch and purpose as they started with, if not more. 2013’s Conduit was an exemplary moment of a band breaking out from the weight of expectation that had been placed on their shoulders before they even started. Vivid, aggressive and urgent, Conduit shook off every presumption that had been attached to Funeral For A Friend after the release of their era-defining album Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation in 2003. What follows, is Chapter & Verse – the band’s seventh full-length record and a natural follow-on from the confidence and conviction displayed on Conduit. Recorded in two weeks with Lewis Johns (Gnarwolves, Goodtime Boys), Chapter & Verse is a classic Funeral For A Friend effort in the spectacular way it melds gruff attitude with melodic choruses, but it also happens to be one of the most sonically diverse records the band has ever made. Flitting frantically between relentless blast beats and heavy, discordant riffs to the kind of guitar lines you would tend to expect from Midwestern bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Chapter & Verse is yet another statement that says Funeral For A Friend is not a band that can be placed in a box as easily as some would assume. Opening with vocalist Matthew Davies-Kreye’s personalised off the hinges screaming, one ofChapter & Verse’s defining features is its unapologetically political lyrical content. From wealth inequality to feminism, the lyrics are a far cry from the band’s early material and display a sense of growth that can only come from experience. A self-assured and cohesive step on from Conduit, Chapter & Verse is one of the most hard-hitting albums in Funeral For A Friend’s catalogue. It is a raw and energetic effort that propels the band to a whole new level, whilst simultaneously raising the bar for everyone else. Emma G. Chapter & Verse will be released in the UK on January 19th 2015 via Distiller Records, in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Holland and Belgium on January 23rd 2015 by End Hits Records.
