During a party in a squat, someone pointed to a car radio in a free-shop and said:
You could make a soundsystem with that.
It is for a long time an idea to have a off grind soundsystem, that we can use a demonstration. Noise demo´s or ´´normal´´ demonstrations. One of our members has a small cargo bike, we can use. Also this person may have the worst taste in music, depends on our point of view. Going from extreme metal on the one hand to hardcore music on the other
Today there is a noise demo against Terf´s. We are to late to construct a off grind soundsystem, or else we would be there blasting anarchist black metal.
We will go first to the one on Jaarbeursplein. And for what reason, we don´t like, we can still join the one on Jacobskerkhof.
@AKUtrecht For what it's worth, some squatter friends in London got quite far with a large speaker stack, amplifier and some old car batteries strapped onto a handtruck (and after a tire blew, into an abandoned shopping cart). Kept running for many hours without trouble, and people just alternately plugged the 3.5mm cable into their device.
May be more practical than a cargo bike, as it's easier to maneuver (especially the handtruck), and doesn't need to be dismantled after use? Strapping a spare wheel to it would probably be a good idea though, turns out it's very annoying to find a spare handtruck wheel in the middle of a street :p
@AKUtrecht Ah, good point. Would a handtruck-mounted system not still be transportable in a cargo bike, though? A shopping cart probably wouldn't be...
@joepie91 Oke, nice. We are familiar with shopping cart soundsystmen. We done that often with also squatter friends, building small partys in parks. But if we need to move fast, a Cargo bike is nicer.
