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.
