Zoo Station

“

The Roxy Art House has been closed until further notice. Despite trading successfully and having much to look forward to, the bankruptcy of the charity who owned it - Edinburgh University Settlement - has forced its closure and the staff have all been made redundant. The Roxy as we were running it was commercially viable, as well as winning awards and great reviews for its 2010 programme; it was, I know, appreciated by artists and audiences in Edinburgh. I would like to think it could be resurrected, and we will be investigating ways in which this might be achieved. In the meantime, thank you all for your custom and support: we love you all!

(This message comes from myself on behalf of the former staff; we can no longer speak directly on behalf of the Roxy…)

=====================

Note: Roxy wake at Forest Cafe on Sunday night. Be there and show it some respect. Same excellent Sunday line up & you can help show some support to all the staff who have lost jobs.

Boo Station (AKA Zoo Station) - Death Weekend

As part of the Roxy’s Death Weekend celebrations Zoo Station will become “Boo Station”.

Before you go out guising to your discos, we intend on taking you on a panic inducing freak-out…

Boo Station will be serving up the most nightmarish brutal visuals and art, disturbing installations (including a permanent addition to our dj booth), and quite possibly the most uncomfortable nightmarish sounds from deepest darkest Germany & beyond the boundaries of safety and sanity…

We guarantee you displeasure, face melting discomfort, nausea, fear, dark thoughts, and harsh times….

We will lighten the mood somewhat, later on in the evening to allow you to attempt a decent night out afterwards, that is, however, if you haven’t already been sectioned for dancing to our avant harde evils until then…

DRESS CODE - EXTREMELY UNPLEASANT, UNCANNY, SQUINT, WARPED, DEFECTED, BROKEN, WRONG.
Free entry, Roxy Bar
