Luke Rockell
Luke Rockel in 2009 for the first issue. At the time he was running a music venue called The Fish House.
What do you do? In relation to the Fish House, or in relation to my life?
What is the Fish House? It’s my garage and we have shows there. That’s about it really.
What’s the story behind the Fish House? The name?
Yea. I don’t really know if I want to include it or make it public, you can ask me in person.
What type of experience does a punter have at a Fish House show? There’s nowhere to go toilet, so maybe a slightly stressful one if they’ve been drinking.
So drinking is ok there? Not meant to be, but it happens.
What makes the Fish House unique? The fact that it is underground and such a small place. It gets really hot in there because its underground, not much ventilation.
What do you like most about the Fish House? There’s no stink cunts.
Ever? If there is, they get sorted out… They don’t come back. The only people that really know about it are the people who are in the know.
What’s been your favourite show so far? Shipwreck AD, Carpathian and Antagonist AD. It was completely packed- you couldn’t move. Also because of where they’re from. It was our first proper show there.
Favourite band? In New Zealand, Wasteland or Hard Times. Neither have played at the Fish House… Hard Times have actually; it was there first show! Yea.
What’s involved in having the Fish House for you? I don’t do much, it just kind of happens. Olly and Gareth help out.
How does the ‘business’ side of having a venue come into it for you? Huh?
What else do you get up to? I’m at school but pretty much failing, and I play in a band, which is pretty much the reason why I’m failing.
What’s next? I don’t really know. Not sure if the Fish House will stick around for much longer. It keeps getting more and more trashed after shows every time, and I’ll move out next year. It started as a substitute while the Tummy was being renovated so…
Any advice for your readers? Investigate the existence of shadow people. Give James Power money so he can eat. Also, don’t let Olly give you foot massages- he’s a creep.
Anything else we need to know about you? I’m actually really muscly, so girls… you can txt me if your into that- 027 2568 504. Check out my blog, and my band.
