No footage of the SoG Q4, though. And no mp3’s.
Apparently Eric, who was playing at The Albert, asked his crowd why on earth they weren’t at ours to see Eugene Chadbourne.
And quite right too.
I thought we’d start with a picture of SoG regular Simon hacking his teddybear at the elektrocreche.
Set up next to the elektrocreche was Vache who was handspooling VHS for the visuals.
It was a tough show to schedule but someone had to go first, Henry grasped the nettle and took the opportunity to play a full length Slashs Wormhole set in three parts. pt I featured a tennis racquet and ping pong ball and harp chair, followed by a duet for exercise bike/bass hurdy gurdy and fuzz guitar and rounded off with a duet for toolbox and vuvuzela.
Sandwiched in the middle were Gus Garside, Annie Kerr and Monty Oxymoron, who I’m trying to convince call themselves HaHaHa. This a bit from near the end where Monty was whacking a brass dog he had stashed under the birdcage.
And the main event was Eugene Chadbourne, starting on banjo and finishing on electric guitar (including a rousing version of “City of Corruption”). This is the first song, possibly called the old piano.

The July Spirit of Gravity was something of a backhanded tribute to Wrong Music.
Starting off the evening was Life President of The Spirit of Gravity in his Same Actor guise. Eventually I’ll be posting up some video of his version of “Steptoe and Son”
So for the mp3 I’m posting up a bit with some stolen cymbal (live sampling of Medicine and Duty’s drum kits).
Next up were a group I’ve wanted to book since I saw them play in the cramped spaces of the downstairs room at The Volks at 3am.
This is the beginning of their set, before the growling started.
Rounding off the evening were the vanguard of the Shoreham Electronic Alliance, The 55th Flotilla.
Telegraph and wheel: this is just a good bit.
