Dear Friends!
Sorry to bring bad news again, but we are forced to stop organizing events for some time. You know, Space:Garage is violently closed, and the new VEF place just doesnt give that much joy and finance to keep it alive. Besides that, we all are emotionally tired and deserved a bit of rest to free up the space for fresh ideas.
Perhaps, we will be back with new projects somewhere in September/October.
Please, check this page from time to time, as we will continue to put music and new information here.
Thanks.
Always Yours,
FuckForFriendship crew
* Thursday, May 29. Pulkvedis (Old Town).
ZeDmitry & Kone are providing some warm, perhaps a bit melancholic vibrations in the place, where it all started, actually.
* Friday, May 30. Singalong Hostel 2-year birthday in Orbita Hall (Andrejsala).
Performing: Jimmy Edgar (Warp, US), Martinez Gonzalez, Cliché, Brain and Fresh Mess Crew.
Write to list(-at-)singalong.lv for information about the entrance.
Congratulations, Singalong!
* June 26. - 29. Fusion Festival. Neustrelitz, Germany.
Well, this topic requires a special attention.
Now we only can say that this is an amazing event and you should definitely go there.
This year, ZeDmitry and Andrei Oid are among the artists, performing there (Saturday night, Schuhkarton).
We will put more detailed information soon.
Meanwhile, check the extensive festivals website.
And dont hesitate to contact us with any ideas, or just to say hello:

Hello, friends, just a few quick notes:
this Friday, May 23, we are expecting Franklin de Costa from Berlin on our Dacha.
Flyer and full lineup will be released soon here, so check back.
Massive thanks to Monkey Brothers! We forgot to tell it, they representing the Regular Label.
Here are some pictures, thanks to Ind-ex.com.
Thats all for now, enjoy the weather!
UPDATE: Sorry for inconvenience, Andrei Oid is not in town.
Yo.
Thank you all, who came to the party last Friday!
You know.. we kind of dont have much of a choice. We decided to keep this VEF place for June/July and then we’ll see. Dacha - this word been coming to mind quite often during last weekend. Here we go - FFF summerhouse or Dacha.
So, welcome to the Dacha this Friday for the:
- Live show of Spanish/Lithuanian Monkey Brothers.
- Kiki’s Birthday Massive! Happy Birthday!
- Andrei Oid Dj set
- all the dacha stuff, like shashlik, beer, badminton etc. :)
Get your bikes ready!
Hello, so here is the flyer..
Hello Friends!
As you know, days of Space:Garage are over. Official reason - status of the garage building (industrial facility) does not match what happening inside (public events). From one point of view its logical and its written in contract too. On the other hand, we got to know it only one week before the contract expires (as we know, this problem first appeared during Rigas Svetki events in last year’s august). If we would go trough all the procedures, to change the status of the building, it would take us about 3 months. And the main reason: building with the status of industrial facility has lower price and taxes, when privatisation process involved. That means, that SIA Jaunrigas Attistibas Uznemums, who’s goal is to privatise Andrejsala’s area (as far as we know, its still the property of Riga City) and who we are renting the Garage from, is very unlikely to allow the change of the status of the building.
Kind of a loop.
So that was very short information (but more to come) on whats going on. We havent put all our emotions in this, but rather just informed the people, cause in our opinion there is no such information anywhere. Also, all the facts are reflection of our impressions, and situation is not that easy, and we are not experts in high-profile real estate business, so if you going to use these facts for any kind of publication, please double-check the facts. Thanks.
But we have some bookings for this year, which we re not going to cancel.
Like, Fairmont aka Jake Fairley Live Gig this Friday.
For this we found a nice facility on the territory of ex-VEF factory.
There is a big Art exhibition is being opened on May. 09. and we are happy to be part of it.
The theme of the exhibition is Small New York in Small Riga. Ex-factory buildings are really reminding of New-York blocks somehow.. Quite a lot of artists are working on this territory for a long time already, but the real mastermind behind this is probably Kaspars Lielgalvis with his Totaldobze workshop.
Although past music activities on this territory are mostly associated with big raves, the place we found is a small, cosy house, with some nice little patio (we will post some photos soon). Well, thats kind of cool to do this sound exploration of Riga and travel around the city with various events, but still, that means also a lot of work for us - bringing the sound system and all the Space:Garage equipment, furniture and stuff and basically building a new Space:garage for a few days. So, forgive us any luck of fast information etc..
Alright, here we go:
Friday, May 09.
Within the Framework of Art Days 2008 (Small New York in the small Riga)
FAIRMONT aka JAKE FAIRLEY LIVE! Border Comunity / Toronto / Berlin
Support artists will be revealed soon.
See the map here.
Door: 3Ls with flyer. 6Ls without flyer.
Flyers will be released soon here.
And dont forget to check Fairmont’s Myspace if you havent yet, - he is amasing artist!
