New news

There's so much sunshine going on out there. It's unbelievable. Can't be sure of how long it will last for however, better make the most of it.

Anyway, I need to stop talking about the weather. The last few Neo Ferns show have gone very well. I'm happy to say the live band is expanding with the assistance of Tim Smart on guitar and samples and Andreas Axel Wallin Hageving on bass. Sounding a lot fuller and a new drummer will soon be added to make it even better, so make sure you make it down to future shows which I'll start booking for June time, so we have a little time to get it sounding nice and right!

In other music news, I've been playing drums for The Night Jars, and it's well and truly time to unleash the band upon the world. It's a mixture of garage, punk and surf, very exciting energetic stuff. We're playing this evening at The Lock Tavern in Camden, you're more than welcome to get yourself down to the all day FREE event. We're on stage at 7pm. If you're reading this after we've played then I'm 94% sure you missed out.

I'm still working on the Octopus Escape radio show which will be coming along shortly, want to make sure it's gone just right. And expect some new Neo Ferns soon, I started working on some demos the other day and it's sounding very nice! I'll check back in soon...

April

The weather in London is amazing. Keep it coming. Anyway, just an update on Neo Ferns. A few more gigs are waiting to be confirmed for the summer, and hopefully a couple of festival appearances too. I B
began working on recording some new songs, hopefully going to work a little closer with Tim Smart as well as others this time round to get some extra dynamics involved with the songs.

I'm going to start presenting a radio show on Interobang radio (http://interobang.co.uk/) very soon, so I'll let you know more details when I know of them. The show's going to be an opportunity for me to geekily play songs I like at the moment. It's a slight step up from obsessively posting videos and Spotify links on Facebook, but condensed into an hour, on my own, in my room. Also, the album release of mine and W.G Kettle's side project of noise, The Kranks is out on Monday, so I've been spending a lot of time making sure that the album doesn't sound as well made as it should do. That's an Octopus Escape release also, so check out http://www.octopusescape.com for more details. Adios.
