This afternoon, subscribers to the band's Flashmob text service (£1 for 5 texts) received the following message:
"Bouncey Balloon Babes!
Silly Slippery Trix
Let's Ride Str8 To Hell-ium!
McScandalous!
Jane's Addiction Live Action!
Revolution Bare Action 6pm 2nite
Location?"
Any thoughts? Where are Jane's Addiction going to play their gig (if it is one) tonight?
Two weeks ago, after their Halloween gig at Brixton, the band gathered outside to Monster Mash with friends and fans. Hmmm.
ps, we now know that it's at Covent Garden at 6pm sharp.
bye then!
jane's in a porn club?
isn't the point of a flashmob that it isn't advertised?

Good idea
Time to flashmob the pub, methinks...
Re: Good idea
i.e. 50,000 people at reading festival get spammed by emi to check out their new garage rock band in the new bands tent? or is that just too clever?

Re: Good idea
Sometimes things build just from word of mouth - like HOGANFEST at Reading this year. Basically, word went round to meet by a certain donut stall at a certain time (1.02am, or thereabouts) for Hoganfest. At 1am, a bloke who looked just like Hulk Hogan started his shift, and suddenly found about a thousand people turning up outside his stall bearing placards and gifts and chanting "Hogan! Hogan!" He was worshipped for while before the police broke it up and charged the poor chap with inciting a riot. There's now a petition going around to ensure that he gets his donut seller's license for Reading 2004.
I love Reading.
Re: Good idea
That sounds like the most fun in the world ever. Even more than that hilarious shouting-bollocks-game everyone enjoys playing so much at Reading each year
Re: Good idea
Bollocks is annoying, but it livens things up a bit...
Cheerio,

Re: Good idea
Just cos I *shock* may get a tad tired of ye olde bollocks cries by 4.30am doesn't mean I suddenly think I'm superior, you can get off your high horse of hilarious rhetoric (sorry, sarcasm) on that one now...
Back to the Flashmobbing thing - was some bit on the local news the other day/night about one that had happened at the weekend in Cambridge I think....built it up a little as they introduced the news item.... Cut to film footage of it all going off - sum total of about 19 people (all students). Dougie's post below in full effect almost. Sounds more exciting all the time ;)
Re: Good idea
The whole flashmob thing seems very tired. great idea the first time it happened, but then you get people everywhere imitating it, it grates, and gets very dull.....
yep
Re: yep
very surreal evening, by all accounts...
