For this I may get in trouble...

...but here's a picture our very own front man while he was on tour with emmy in japan.

People of Worcester - we have our first ever show with you in November. We're playing the firefly for those of you who know where that is. Should be ace times.

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.

Andrew W.K. VS Gonzales: The Piano Battle from akdonovan on Vimeo.

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)

You can get tickets from HERE, or RSVP for the event on facebook HERE

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
