Get it on for a night of fun(k), disco and bump'n'grind at the opening gambit – the first club night of CTM.08: We’ve gathered the most booty-tastic local and international talent together in an effervescent line-up for a night of wanton revelry. Each of the performers is renowned for wild live shows that combine punk, humour and irreverent attitudes towards sex and stereotypes. Read between the lines to find sharp critiques, confronting commentary and uncompromising positions. Get your dancing shoes on, but be prepared: you may get much more than you bargained for.
 
After a warm up with crazy Cobula, see Harry Potter with a c***, the UK’s sexiest soap star will be here live, in the flesh to Fart on Your Heart – HOORAY! Ms. Ebony Bones has generated an enormous amount of buzz for her frenetic live performances – B52s meets Peaches in a mash up with Siouxsie Sioux – her accomplished song writing under the tutelage of Damned drummer Rat Scabies, and her bizarre, endearingly twisted sense of humour that blossoms in titles like "I’m Your Future Ex-Wife". Bump rating: HOT! When you’re begging for more, we’ll humbly offer … Jahcoozi.
 
Never seen Jahcoozi? Tsk tsk. The waves they’ve been making with their deep, abstract beats, ragga and hip-hop flavours and dancehall rhymes have spread far beyond Berlin. Kitty-Yo’s star outfit, darlings of electro-heads in the know, the band is critically acclaimed for wild instrumentation (Robot Koch, and Israeli born Oren Gerlitz) and sharp lyrics from the Sri-Lankan born Brit, Sasha Perera. Sexy, saucy and serious booty-shaking bliss. Bump rating: SCORCHER!
 
The Detroit Grand Pubahs will be cruising in from Buttopolis on Planet X-Funk where they’ve been keeping a low profile since the uproarious successes of the early naughties that left them forever identified with "Sandwiches". But the Detroit natives Dr. Toefinger (Andy Toth) and Paris the Black Fu (Mack Goudy, Jr.) are much more than just sliced bread: The quirky and louche Paris the Black Fu cranks up the bump value to inestimable levels in his electrifyingly mercurial live performances. Bump rating: EXPLOSIVE!
 
When Berlin’s own Sick Girls take over, be prepared for a long night of sweat-soaked bumping action. They’re cool and dirty, they know the Berlin club scene inside out and they have record bags stacked to party all night. Bump rating: MELTDOWN!!
