Power Games

So when the sound engineer casually mentioned in the soundcheck that sometimes the power fails in the Mother Bar and that, being the sound guy, he often gets the blame, we slapped our thighs heartily, laughed and thought no more. Until 20 mins into our set when BOOM! Darkness and silence…Now neither of these things [...]

BIG CHILL: WE’RE IN!

This is just a quick update to say WE ONLY GONE AND WON THE COMP AND WE’RE GOING TO BE PLAYING AT THE BIG CHILL ON SUNDAY!!!
Many, many (many) thanks to all of you who made such a sterling effort last night when a couple of our competitors put on a late surge and [...]

Preps a-go-go!

Rehearsal last night at Des’ place a mixed bag – mainly cos I forgot that I’d accidentally wiped a load of backing tracks from my laptop in a fit of madness a while ago, so we could only rehearse K7, 8-Bit, No Knowing and Feels Good, and some of those were a bit ‘all over [...]

1) On Audio Instrument Track 1, put Vokator in as an instrument [...]

Good Gig!

Cheers to everyone who came down to the gig last Sunday!
We had a good fun supporting The Client, and felt that we were ably supported by Kindle and his two burlesque dancers! (He was very good actually, I would recommend a trip to see him play a clubnight)
One or two of you may have noticed [...]

Hello Again You Lot

So, it’s a been while since the last update, but hopefully the updates will be a little more regular from now on!
Coming up soon is our gig supporting Client & Anne Clarke at the Underworld on the 9th November. Really looking forward to that & it should be a blast. The event on Last [...]

…and we’re back!

Sorry for the two week silence, I have been having my holidays in Italy, which were very nice thank you very much for asking (no thriving electro scene in rural Tuscany I’m saddened to report.)
Lucy could have blogged some stuff, but sensibly she prefers to be mysterious and aloof. That’s probably the best approach, but [...]

Orange Unsigned Thingy

We thought we’d enter the Orange Unsigned comp thingy as a budget to record the next album would be nice, etc.

You have to login to vote, but don’t let that put you off. You want us to win right?
It’s worth listening to the other electro acts…some are quite good, some [...]
