Sleeveface Comes Home To Cardiff – Party Time!

Friday, 6th June 2008

The first Sleeveface party took place last month and saw mass-Sleevefacing, the likes of which have never been seen before, projections of impromptu sleevefaces, a whole heap of partying and dancing and even ended up with two sleeves meeting for the first time and going home together.

And now Sleeveface returns to its Cardiff roots, where the whole shebang kicked off. Taking place on Friday 6th June at Clwb Ifor Bach, this will be a chance to experience an evening of pure Sleeveface pleasure - put record sleeves in front of your face (don’t worry, sleeves are provided!), take photos and dance to the Sleeveface DJs. Also, price includes entry to The Dudes Abide, Cardiff’s premier rock’n’roll jamboree.

For the uninitiated…Sleeveface: one or more persons obscuring or augmenting any part of their body or bodies with record sleeve(s) causing an illusion.

All you need to create a Sleeveface is a vinyl record sleeve and a face. Put the sleeve in front of your face, take a photo and there you have it – Sleeveface! (See picture).

Sleeveface began in Cardiff when some DJs were monkeying around with their records. They created a website – www.sleeveface.com – and started a group on a popular social networking site. Lots and lots of people from far and wide joined the phenomenon, adding their own creative, amusing photos. Interest came from all over the world – Australia, Canada, the USA, Finland and more.

Entry is £4.50/£3.50 and tickets are available on the door.
