Mother F*cker! 21/09/2007

Yes yes y'all!
How are we?
Ok, so I played at Mother Bar in Old St on Friday night. 4 random bands on the bill. Nothing at all to compliment my subtle electro/acoutic stylings whatsoever! Sounds all too familiar doesn't it? It was.
I played pretty well though. I tell you what, this 'rehearsing regularly' thing that a friend told me about actually works! I think it's the pink pointy boots myself..
Anyway, the gig is worthy of note only because the last band, who sounded like early Verve and were about 18 years old, got frog-marched out of the venue by the Polish mafia bouncers for playing over their allotted time slot! Like it's Wembley f*cking stadium or something!! My mate shouted 'fascists' at them but they didn't care. The poor little b*stards were standing outside afterwards with their parents, nursing the finger marks on their necks! Old St has changed....
Good news on Sat, 'Butterfly' got played on Radio 6 and I got a few e-mails from interested parties. Hopefully someone will start getting decent gigs for me because obviously I can't seem to manage it! I do it for YOU readers honest! The better the show, the sh*tter the blog as they say...
Ohter news is that I've got a new haircut. It's a cross between a mullet and a mohican. A mo-let/mull-hican if you will. I got the idea from these guys...



I'm playing at The Abbey on Sunday 7th Oct if you want to come and see my new hair?

Also, check out my new song 'Dance Like No-One's Looking' on my MySpace page (link on the right). It's inspired by that scene in Napoleon Dynamite where he dances to 'Canned Heat' by JK. It's a bit random but let me know if you think it's any good...

Until next time...

Pissing on my own flyer! 11/9/2007

Alright?
I played at The Macbeth in Hoxton last night. It was a really good turn out so thanks to all who made the journey down. Proper little dive of a venue too. I did it as a favour for my mate Alan who was putting on his first night at the place, probably his last too.
As Tony Hadley once said, to cut a long story short, I brought 99% of the audience, spent £24 on cabs (as I had to bring an amp for one of the other bands), and what did I get?!!! F*ck all! Sound familiar?! After paying the sound man £70, alan was £3 down so couldn't give me any money for cabs! Classic!
The first band were called Expedition Order and were noisy f*ckers. The guitarist was playing a petrol can and the bass player wore a gas mask. No sh*t. Can you guess what they sounded like?! Nice guys though.
I was next and was pretty happy with my performance. I had actually rehearsed for it and do you know what, it worked. I didn't f*ck up once! My mate Michael said he thought I was 'alright' but should have been playing like it was Wembley Stadium. Easy for him to say. Look at it the place....



The electro outfit Sam Amant were on after me and were f*cking nuts. Very Nathan Barley. All shiny gold leggings and dungarees. Just think of that scene in Mighty Boosh where they're doing the '..I am electro boy, you are electro girl..' scene and you get the idea. I liked it but it cleared the room...



Anyway, just before I got on stage, I went for a wee wee and I saw that I was pissing on one of my own flyers that had found it's way into the urinal (no photo available). I guess irony can be pretty ironic sometimes....
I'm playing next Friday 21st at Mother bar in Old St so we'll see what happens then. I think I can guess...

Later yeah!?
