Scissor Sisters‘ sold out one-off Halloween show at the Brixton Academy will be broadcast via an exclusive webcast through Global Cool… And all that we ask is that you turn your computers off!
Friday 13th October was certainly unlucky for some when it came to buying tickets for Scissor Sisters one-off Halloween show at Brixton Academy. The exclusive gig’s entire allocation of nearly 5,000 tickets sold out within just 90 minutes, leaving more than a few unfortunate fans empty handed.
But fear not if you missed out, Global Cool will be hosting a live webcast of the gig, in association with Tiscali - the webcast sponsors, at 10pm on Halloween through dev3.globalcool.org.
To view the webcast simply sign in or sign up with dev3.globalcool.org before 10pm on Tuesday 31st October, which you can do from the link below.
Those who sign up will not only be able to view the Scissor Sisters’ once in a lifetime fancy dress performance, they will also be treated to unique backstage footage and an exclusive interview with the band.
All we ask in return is that you pledge to turn off your computer at the end of the night. We won’t be checking up on you but we trust you will.
According to the recent PC Energy Report, one in five office workers leaves a PC on standby at least three times a week, which amounts to more than £100 million of electricity wasted yearly.
Or to put it another way, the power stations that generate the electricity needed to sustain these sleeping computers emit 200,000 tonnes of CO2 a year in the process, which roughly equals the same quantity of CO2 pumped out of the exhaust pipes of 120,000 4X4s.
In fact, if everybody in the UK switched their computers off at night, it would save as much pollution as all the cars in a city the size of Liverpool. So please be sure to power down at the end of the night!
Band member Babydaddy said: “This special gig is a big thank you to all our fans. It’s set to be an amazing night and by showing the gig on dev3.globalcool.org, it not only means that everyone can enjoy the party, but also raises awareness of their cause by highlighting the importance of saving our planet.”
