After over eighteen months preparation and planning, our first event - called Like Fxck in reference to its seemingly ambitious and improbable nature – took place in the Epic Skate Park in Birmingham on July 8th 2006.
A night to remember for the sell out audience featuring Reginald D Hunter, The Destroyers, Koala Grip and many, many more.
The November 2007 show took place during Birmingham’s Gigbeth festival at The Rainbow Warehouse, Digbeth. It reflected the diversity of the Gigbeth festival itself by featuring all manner of media and performance. Unlike the separate genre specific gigs that formed the Gigbeth festival, the Project X Presents show mixed together many styles within one continuous stream of entertainment across three stages. The Project X Presents show could be termed a festival in itself. The phrase “omnimedia” experience was also used to describe the evening.
Hot on the heels of the success of the Gigbeth show Project X Presents accepted an invitation to host a night at new basement club in Birmingham called Concrete.
Whilst it was exciting to be in a brand new venue the space was a great deal smaller than those that the group had used in 2006 and 2007. Undeterred PXP used multiple performance areas to develop the “omnimedia experience” approach to combining performers and art in a seamless show.
