last thursday

so as you can probably see below we played hoxton bar and grill thursday night and a bit of a weird time was had. basically our oh so reliable laptop got stage fright and decided not to work and the resultant set was somewhat diminished without its input. we´re not mad. it happens sometimes. but it was a lot of people to happen in front of. and it was worse because la shark before us were so amazing. definitely check them out if you get a chance.

but regarless, we´re persevered on without it. and the set was raucous and ridiculous. however, calamity struck again when jeion  wandered out into the audience, tripped on a bottle and landed on some glass. and as a result there was literally blood all over the hoxton bar and grill. i´m not joking. and do you want to see the gaping wound that caused such a mess:



anyhow...as many put it, despite the lack of musicality it was definitely a perfornance not to be forgotten any time soon. 

but listen, my old friend and neighbour akira the don compared a piano battle between the incredible andrew wk and the mind blowingly talented chile gonzales in new york the other week. check out what happened - it´s literally the most inspiring thing i´ve seen in ages.


we´re not doing much this week as glenn is off playing piano for emmy the great in japan, but in a couple of weeks we´re playing catch in shoreditch. expect blood, smashed equipment, tears - probably in that order.

lots of love.

Thursday 8 October@ Hoxton Bar and Grill w/ La Shark!, Clock Opera & Gaggle

Yo! Next Thursday 8 October we're playing the Hoxton Bar and Grill for the inspiration that is the guys from Ohinvertedworld.

We're playing with La Shark!


Clock Opera



and Gaggle



And good people have been saying good things about them:

The most extraordinary band I've heard in a long time, called Gaggle... With a name like Gaggle they're going to be good, right? They are. They're brilliant." "YOU HAVE BEEN GAGGLED" HUW STEPHENS (BBC - Radio 1)

"Gaggle - the most exciting, innovative and genuinely imaginative force at large in music right now. More infectious than a mnemonic plague (ahem) and going off with the full force of Blondie's 'Atomic', they sound like 10,000 MIAs - and we bet they don't kiss nice." REBECCA ROBINSON (NME)
