February sunshine part II

When the spirit of gravity was founded, round here it was all fields,

Wise words from Mr Nick Rilke of This Sound Bureaucracy, the electro-poetic rantings of the permanently sane.


Here is a rerun of an old live favourite, the first time we’ve managed to snag it for ourselves.

Ry-Om spent a while loading their laptops with guitar scrapes squeaks and squangles.


Then slowly let them escape to run around the room.

Halal Kebab Hut defy explanation.

Heres another still from Ry-Om’s set, we liked this one, a nice shot of _minimalVector action.

the snowy country of mental states

As you can imagine Xmas provides us all with a stressful opportunity to do something festive, no matter what we’re usually like.

So I’m Dr Buoyant Collected together loads of cheery Christmas samples and got together and made some spectacularly weird music. As you’d expect.

Then we had Don Tempi to show us how its done, TV Advertising from July 1981. Couldn’t be finer.

Only video of Don I’m afraid.

Daft buggers. Here is the bit with the chairs all upside down and the football game.

This soundclip is actually from the following night at Wrong music when they tried to do it again with mi and only one Samoan. And failed miserably.

A new home

So the first show in our new home The Three And Ten in Steine Street.

We like it, it has something of the Albert, Something of the Marlborough and a little something all of its own.

We were the first show in apart from the comedians so things were a bit tricky at first. but we soon got the hang of it.


Dan Powell opened the venue, playing from the back. Perversely. Accompanied by very abstract visuals from _minimalVector.

he never gives me titles for his pieces, so I’ve called this segment “Wilf”

Setting up on the floor of the stage with his Sitar, out of sight, but partially in range of Bartosz video feed was Same Actor making his second appearance in this blog of recent times. It is another good one, natch.

Stepping in at the last minute for Bemass, who couldn’t make it due to bela being caught ill in Vancvouver, was ‘J’m black (again) with a Safehouse Wildcard Electro-Acoustic Ensemble.
Featuring Monty Oxymoron, from The Damned, Alasdair Willis from The Vitamin B12, Alastair Strachan from Vole, and matt Grey, who I’ve not seen play before.

This is a bit from the space section of their set, before Monty got into jazzy chords.
