SUPERMARTXE "ALICE IN WONDERLAND"
STOP PRESS NEWS/PREVIEW
Well, we have already given you more than a taster in our recent “Wave Goodbye to 09 & Hello to 10” post on what looks like being the most prolific party of New Year’s Day, as SuperMartXe delves into all things magical & mystical, with its special party “Alice In Wonderland”, which takes place at the O2 Academy in Brixton on 1st Jan 2010, from 5 p.m. until 2 a.m. However, given the massive plans for this extravaganza event, we thought it only appropriate to devote a “special” STOP PRESS post to the party, with the latest & hot news coming direct to us from promoter Logan Schmitz.
So, first let’s get the mundane stuff out of the way. As mentioned above, the party kicks off at 5 p.m. with the event running through to a planned 2 a.m., so very much in the tea-dance timescale, although this will be no regular early evening event. Tickets are on sale at your favourite Soho outlets, including Prowler, Clone Zone, DV8, The Box & Profile, but also online at http://ticketweb.co.uk, priced currently at £20. VIP options are available (more on that in a mo) via http://loganpresents.com. We recommend you grab a ticket in advance although they will be on sale on the door.
With the boring detail over, let’s concentrate first on the party itself, which promises to be much much more than just a peep through the looking glass. If you have marvelled at SuperMartXe parties at The Coronet, “Alice” promises to pail these into insignificance, with the most lavish, flamboyant & extravert stage production you have ever seen, whisking you away into a fairy tale land of magical dreams & enchantment, with a stunning array of performers, dancers & P.A’s all dressed for the occasion, think Mad Hatters Tea party (very apt), Queen of Hearts (possibly tarts!), Cheshire Cats & White Rabbits galore, plus all the wonders that this amazing Lewis Carol story gives out.
In a “stage curtain” reveal at just passed 8 p.m. expect everything that SuperMartXe is renowned for, high-tech lighting, lasers & pyrotechnics, as well as flying acrobats, fire eaters & larger than life inflatable’s, enough to captivate you party goers all night long. The magical musical journey through “wonderland” will be provided by SuperMartXe regulars Steve Pitron & Marlon Jones, joined by Spanish superstar D.J. Juanjo Martin in the main “wonderland” arena, while Tony English, Phil Marriot, Aron, & Nathan 6 will play out in the Gaydar sponsored “garden” room. Live P.A. performances will come from Belle & Aimee, with whom Logan & his team have worked closely, not only to secure the integrity of the music, but to provide some extra special surprises on the night. You may have seen previous publicity promoting the appearance of X-Factor finalist Danyl Johnson, but as a compromise on his inclusion within the planned musical content couldn’t be arrived at, he has been dropped from the line up.
Now, let’s move onto the venue itself and time to address some possible concerns. Firstly, with a capacity of 5000, the O2 Academy is well versed in dealing with large numbers, so the efficient “fast track scanning” system employed on the main door should impress, as will the coatcheck facilities, with no less than four separate areas, including a special one dedicated to just bags. Then there is the dancefloor, which, for those of you that have visited the venue will realise, it tilts considerably, although this will be levelled out especially for “Alice”. And, getting to The Academy couldn’t be easier, as it is served by the nearby Victoria Line tube & a whole host buses & other transportation links, plus being probably the best known venue in South London, no taxi driver worth his salt will get lost!!
Now, we said we would cover the VIP options and for just £40, not only do you get a “super speed” specialised entrance at the rear of the venue, but there is then a free coatcheck and reserved VIP tables, positioned along the side of the main arena, where you will have the best view of the shows & the spectacle that will be “Alice In Wonderland”.
So, Friday 1st January looks like being one very special day in the continuing life of SuperMartXe in London and surely one party you won’t want to miss. Plus, “Logan Presents” supports the mega party As One, which is the official “Alice” after party, with special £3 per person taxi’s laid on from the Academy to whisk you to Fire (see our New years “weekend recommendations” post for details on this)..
All, that remains to say, is, in the inimitable words of the promoter....”follow the white rabbit & head for the O2 Academy on NYD”.
