This Hallow’s Eve, descend into an underground licentious dream that defies expectations…

Effortlessly incorporating the decadence, mystique and immorality of a classic masquerade into a hedonistic night of: Dangerously seductive ‘occult sex music for insomniacs’;crackling, bloody tales from the blackest heart of the German woods;and pulsating, dirty beats that writhe along your thighs…

“FEE-FI-FO-FIM! I SMELL THE BLOOD OF L’IL JIM! BE HE ALIVE OR BE HE DEAD – I’LL GRIND HIS BONES TO EARN MY BREAD!!!”
Those of the Southside be warned: There’s a giant stalking this land!
This autumn, in celebration of urban food growing, 85A are proud to present – as part of NVA’s Glasgow Harvest event: ‘Fesco the Giant’!
A re-worked tale of Jack and the Beanstalk will be told using the classic storytelling device of a Punch & Judy style puppet show.

Roll up! roll up!

step inside!

There NEVER WAS a New Year’s party like this before baby. I mean people going mental for those stonkin’ Dj sets with that big beat, yessir, which would make even Colossus shudder, chung-de-chung-de-chung. And who the hell was that band?!? They were fucking brilliant man, never seen anything like that before!

For ‘Buzz or Howl’ 85A propose to eat sawdust and have you watch. Or rather, like Svankmajer’s White Rabbit our seams have split, dusty insides pouring into the dirt furrows of the world. And even though you see this odd creature and recognize that it’s not bleeding for real –only a grotesque allusion to the act itself- you still shudder at the prospect of having to replenish one’s own guts with a very large spoon.

A most idealistic and exciting (not to mention tasty!) experience awaits the patrons of 85A's Herbaceous Barbershop at Glasgow Harvest this summer. Stroll on into our cozy little barbershop, settle yourself into our automated barber's chair, and select a 'punk herb cap' of your choice for your new hair-do...which is both a wicked fashion accessory and most importantly, a darn decent way to maximise growing space in our increasingly over-crowded urban environment.

‘A Sonic Soak’: an ambitious, celebratory and provocative musical experience set against the crumbling edifice of a historic building which has lain derelict for the past decade. Featuring a kaleidoscopic shoal of bands, sound artists, orators, costumed performers, sculptures and local film makers in the echoing acoustics of the cavernous Govanhill Baths.

The extremely rare Polish film 'Orzel' (1958) dramatically tells the true story of 'the Eagle', a Polish submarine that escaped internment in Estonia during the outbreak of WWII at the ever-growing hands of the Nazis and miraculously escaped, without the aid of maps and next to little fuel, to the far off shore of Rosyth, Scotland.

Taking their lead from the industrial naval might of the Orzel, the pounding barrage of depth charges, and the eerie presence of sonar, 85A have created The ORZEL film performance: an expanded cinema experience involving the screening of a remixed version of the original film and a musical soundscape performed live, all within the confines and claustrophobic context of a submarine set-piece.
