Press Release / Provokátor Magazine Issue 23, October/November 2007
31 October 2007, Prague
Nothing is Terrible Except Fear Itself
The golem, the Balkan civil war, five minutes to live, the scary kit. In Issue 23 of Provokator.org we explore all things scary and provide the stories to prove it. The question is, what do you really find scary?
This issue, we at Provokátor have donned black and stared out from under a hood to find out the meaning behind ‘scary’. Released on October 22, the double October/November issue presents the mind-probing issues of real life events, myths, Dave Vanians gothic air, and one woman’s connection to The Devil’s Bible.
CONTENT:

Starter - get your band on Radio Wave
Life is easier for unsigned bands since Radio Wave launched its Starter show for new alternative music. In the last year we've put over 100 new unsigned bands on the radio, and run regular concert nights at club XT3. By public vote, the most important new unsigned artist to emerge in the last 12 months is Yogi Rulez. And now, the second year of Starter has begun! If you're in an unsigned band, and you want to get on the radio, all you need to do is send us a demo CD or MP3 - more information on www.rozhlas.cz/radiowave/starter or www.myspace.com/wavestarter. Starter goes out every second Tuesday night at 8:00pm on 100.7 FM.
#23 Erratic Errata
Pprovokator – Ppague Events & Mapazine
We never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones.
(appropriated from ~John Peel)
To those of you with the sharp eye and comprehension of critique: we dare you to find more than the following erroneous information:
MAP – Most all locations indicated with numbers and pointers are ‘round about where the location is, however the arrow may not point to the actual street address- for that please look at advert or key.
KEY corrections:
Batalion – Rijna 3, P1
Hush - Lublánska 39, P2
Maison Mere- may have been a figment of our imaginations’
Vobejvák / Living Room –Štítného 8, P3
EVENT Changes:
Rock this Town – is NOT at Abaton, it may be at Matrix or it may be at Rock Café, your guess is as good as ours…
Check Provokator.org website Event Calendar for more vague notions as to what is happening and where it might be.
Oh, and the back page…? We meant to do that.
