Oxford gig with The Mechanisms

When The Mechanisms invited us to share a gig with them in Oxford we jumped at the chance. They’re a dissolute bunch of rascals, but we figured we could trust them. The day arrived and it was, as I might have predicted, rather damp and dull (I have never visited Oxford without rain, so I see no [...]

After the Asylum

Well, what a weekend! I think we just played two of the best and most enjoyable gigs we’ve ever done. Saturday at the Asylum felt quite different from Friday last year, and I was (as always) blown away by so many of the costumes on display. We had been booked to play two gigs – one [...]

I was, understandably, rather nervous of taking it [...]

Dynamo Eindhoven gig

We had a great time playing at Asylum in September, and are looking forward to going back next year. They recorded the gig and are working on the mixing, so soon [...]
