A brief one for this.
Hot Roddy arranged a trip to London.
It was great. Really.
representing London (Twice) we had the Hang Playing Hedge Monkeys.
Providing the bridge we had Same Actor (a preview for the coming Brighton show?)
And from Brighton Noteherder & McCloud accompanied by _minimalVector

Blimey, chaos all round.
First it was going to be Vole and ‘This Sound Bureaucracy’ and ‘Jilk and Tulin-Fée’.
But Jilk and Tulin-Fée couldn’t make it.
Then it was Vole and ‘This Sound Bureaucracy’ and ‘McCloud featuring the endless guitars of Hagbard Strom’.
Then it was Vole and ‘Shitmat and Horacio Pollard and nwodtlem’ and ‘This Sound Bureaucracy’ and ‘Noteherder and McCloud’: Busy.
Then This Sound Bureaucracy pulled out.
So then it was Vole and ‘Shitmat and Horacio Pollard and nwodtlem’ and ‘McCloud featuring the endless guitars of Hagbard Strom’.
But although Shitmat and Horacio Pollard came along to the soundcheck, they had to go down to another venue they were playing later and never came back leaving…
Vole and ‘ ‘McCloud featuring the endless guitars of Hagbard Strom’.
Got that?
Well, I suppose it’s not that important anyway. But it keep me on my toes, I can tell you.
So the last minute addition was McCloud featuring the endless guitars of Hagbard Strom previewing the next Spirit of Gravity Compilation
and then quite differently, Vole played, we nearly got everyone in for this picture, we missed the trumpet and electronics player. He’s standing over on the right.
Have you seen this cat?
And because I liked the picture heres another one of Vole showing the _minimalVector visuals that helped give Vole an odd fifties arthouse film vibe.
If you’ll excuse the pun.
While the sun treated us to a lovely September treat we treated our ears.
Starting off the evening with a set of Buddha machine and Deer noises was Fallow. Creepy, Loud, quiet and blissful by turns.
Here’s a quiet bit so you can hear the Buddha Machines.
The buddha and the beast
Continuing the run opf arriving late from the west country with no time to soundcheck we had Little Boat and his guitar (lovely old) amp and pedals.
This is a cover version, it kind of stops halfway through, but that doesn’t matter.
cover version.
And rounding off the evening were the wonderful Power Up, violin, voice and various electronics I think this section has something of the variety of their set.
song from the middle
fabulous.
The second gig gets written up first: For Brighton live we took over the window of the clothes Shop juju in the North Laine as part of the Brighton Live promoters festival.
We set up _minimalVector inside the shop with a projector and his laptop for visuals, Tim and Soly kindly cleared the window and a rack of clothes inside.
Hot Roddy took first place and drew quite a crowd. He played a blinding set for about 40 minutes. Lee took a picture:
ANd we recorded an mp3:

Second in the space was Rashamon, hot foot from his show at Concorde2. Lee played a trademark set of hip hop inspired beats, beautiful washes and detailed psychedelia.
Heres the tail end of his set:

Last of all Terror Wogan let rip with the Atari stomp. crunching lo-fi 8bit ragga and electro.
