Telegramme poster exhibition

Our great friends Telegramme Studios are currently in Frankfurt exhibiting their work at the Flatstock Poster Show which is a part of the Reeperbahn Festival. This includes a lovely poster which they did for us a while ago (which you can just see second bottom left).


These guys are huge at the moment and have worked with so many good bands including Arctic Monkeys, The Get Up Kids, White Denim, Lightspeed Champion, This Town Needs Guns, Rolo Tomassi, and I could go on and on and on. It's a real honour to be included in their roster.

As always, much love.

Get inspired on a Friday

So what are SoSaySo loving at the moment. Well lots of things and these are just some of them:

Lu Flux
I used to live with the lovely Lu Flux who is an ethical designer extraodinaire. She works only with salvaged, vintage or organic fabrics, using traditional methods such as knitting, pleating or patchwork to design incredibly beautiful bespoke pieces. Fashion week has gone swimmingly for Lu so congratulations to her.

Just look at these:



Alex Turvey
To say our old friend Alex Turvey is destined for great things is doing him a diservice, as he basically already doing them. An incredibly talented designer/director he has made music videos for the likes of Bright Eyes, Grizzly Bear, MSTRKRFT among many others, and continues to do design for basically everyone. But more importantly perhaps, he is like myself a Welsh/Greek Cypriot and everyone knows that's the best combination of races you could possibly have.


Portasound
This wonderfully weird electro outfit are a joyous combination of so many different genres from tropical to carnival to pop to dance. and they're amazing! Hailing from Bow E3 via Crystal Palace our former neighbours are a firm favourite of Huw Stephens and are playing lots in the next couple of months, including some dates in Italy.


Their next gig is at Cargo on Friday 9 October supporting Bent. It is impossible not to have a good time when you see them and I thoroughly recommend that you do.


That's probably enough for you all for now to get inspired on for a friday. More soon, but in the meantime we continue to be humbled by the wonderfully positive feedback from everyone following our show on Monday. We have a number of great shows coming up, the next one being at the Hoxton Bar and Grill on the 8th October. We hope to see as many of you possible down there.

Don't forget to check out the new website as well as follow us on facebook or twitter.

Much love

new website...best show of our lves

last night we played the packed out scala in support of the veils and it was the best show we´ve ever done! a huge audience, a huge reception. it was utterly humbling and thank you to everyone involved from the bottom of our hearts for making it happen and for clapping and for making us understand why we do what we do.

but what else? well there´s this lovely new website which you´ve either been directed from or can find here. it be updated periodically over the next couple of weeks with some videos, some new pictures and the new tracks which will be ready any day now.

now i must go to bed beause i´ve been fighting this hangover all day and it´s rapidly becoming evident that i´ve lost the battle.

much love

SOSAYSO @ the Scala w/ The Veils - Mon 21 Sept

Friends, we're playing with the Veils at the cavernously large Scala this Monday. Without question this will be the biggest, brightest and most exciting show we've played to date. And considering our last show was at the Social where the stage was so small I literally had skin-to-skin contact with at least two members of the band at any one point a 1200 capacity venue shouldn't that much of a change of pace. Plus it will be ace to see the guys from the Veils again as it's been ages almost 6months since we last appeared on the same stage together.

As for the future, well we are playing with the excellent Exlovers at Hoxton Bar and Grill in a week or two, and after that with 4or5 musicians at the fly. We were scheduled to play with our good friends Thomas Tantrum and Haunted Stereo in November but unfortunately can't do that now. But regardless everyone should still go and see them as they're both blatantly amazing. Serious. Haunted stereo were Q's record of the day a couple of weeks ago and you wouldn't want to go and fuck off Q would you?

In other news the new website goes live in two days, or one day...it goes live Sunday. It should be pretty fancy I'm told and apparently this blog will appear on there as well. And if you're reading this post-sunday it is pretty fancy and this blog is on there/here...

This month I've been all over the show, drunk for a large part of it - but this weekend I will be at the The Victoria with my soul mates Televised Crimewave for it's one year birthday. it's free entry and should be the best fun.

SOSAYSO @ the social - Tuesday 18 Aug

Folks - we're playing Club Ugly @ the Social tomorrow. It's free entry.

We've been on holiday for the past two weeks and were recording pretty constantly up until that point, as such the break was pretty damn rewarding. But now the holiday season is over and as a result we're back in the studio recording again. New songs should hopefully be here before our very exciting show playing once again with our friends the Veils @ the Scala.

But as with when you're school and the first piece of work set when returning from summer holidays is to write about them, regarder:

I went to Norway. It was good and did not rain much. When i was in norway I visited friends in bergen who took me to the lost weekend festival where i saw kukmuthafucka who were good though the drinks were expensive. i also went to Oya in oslo where i saw accidents never happen and fever ray who were good. It was also good to see my english friends who were on the northern europe sections of their tours. It rained lots on sunday and I saw Harrys Gym who where good. i saw of beirut also who were good but it was raining so i went to the pub.

The end.

a busy couple of days

last night kerrigan and myself went and saw our good friend Mimi Leung's exhibition. it's very much worth a look. After this kerrigan went on to Notting hill arts club to see dansette junior while i went home to watch twin peaks.

Tuesday is rapidly approaching and we are getting very excited to play again with the wonderful hjaltalin. Coupled with the fact that we will be recording this weekend it's going to be a busy couple of days.

Tuesday 21 So Say So @ the Lexington w/ Hjaltalin

We're playing once again with the wonderful Hjaltalin this Tuesday 21 July at the Lexington. as you all know this is an auspiscious day. Not only does it mark the day Hetrostatus Set fire to the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, but it also marks the world's lowest ever reocrded temperature (-89.2 in antartica) and the day man that man first walked on the moon. just a bit of history for you. you can't fuck with history.

anyway - i don't know any more details for the gig but if the last time we shared a stage is anything to go by this will be another mark in his.......[I refuse to finish that sentence].

In other news we've been rehearsing a bit, wriiting a little, and enjoying having a studio lots and lots. It's our aim to get some new recordings done so as soon as the vocal booth and the control room have been built that's what we'll do.

Sunday past was graham's birthday so we all went to the alma street festival in Kentish Town to celebrate. Roots Manuva played...it was rubbish...well i think it was roots manuva. by 6 o'colck the PA had blown and I couldn't tell what was going on. whoever it was, they were rubbish. Following this we all ended up at the Torriano where Kerrigan has a cocktail named after him. Fact. It tastes like Hubba Bubba.Fact.

For anyone going to see Emmy the Great this August Kerrigan will be playing piano for her at a load of festivals. I can't remember what festivals but I'll find out and post i on here.
