Allo,
No Blog last week, Jake forgot, he was busy working on his nods of approval!
So to recap on January 31st we had a busy busy busy show.
We were very lucky to be joined by Phil Dillon and Daisy Parris ahead of their joint exhibition of art and photography. And when I say art I mean the good stuff. Daisy's pictures and objects are entirely unpretentious (like her), thoughtful (like her), very easy to admire (like her) and beautifully scattered around the walls of a gallery (like, well art). Alongside Phil's photographs which are not taken by someone who can just point a camera well or can use photoshop to good effect but by a man who IS a photographer and captures moods, scenes, thoughts and somehow a feeling of sound in his work. You only have until the 26th of February to see the exhibition so don't delay!
After they scarpered we crammed the ever so popular Wheels into the studio for a chat and a live performances. Now Wheels do have the prettiest bass player I have ever seen (OK bass players aren't meant to be and the competition is not hard) but to our eternal shame we had to keep Anna in the cupboard as they played! Check out the video and try and see the lesser spotted Bass Beauty! Wheels members are all articulate, friendly, interesting and engaging just like their music! It is hard to describe their sound so follow the link and find out for yourself. (you won't regret it).
On the Friday we had a "staff" outing to first the exhibition and then The Command House. (we were hoping to visit the exhibition gig at The Nags Head in between but due to a combination of alcohol and the cold weather the warm pull of the Command House Bar kept us busy!) . We saw 4 great bands The Blissful Mop, Archie Wah Wahs, Gentlemen Duke and Theatre Royal. It was another great line up form Suburban kings and a night I'm sure many of you would of enjoyed!
So after that eventful week we had another guest in the Studio we were joined by Rosco Levee (pronounced Levy) from The Rosco Levee Band who played a small solo set and chatted about his experiences and ambitions. If you missed the show you can listen again soon and also watch a small video we made too. Rosco was in Jakes words "probably the best singer we have ever had in" and no doubt fully deserving of the Jake nod in the film!!
Some very good news we found out this week was the figures from the listen again section of our website. In the 4 days after the 31st January show over 70 individual people listened again! And from the following countries , UK (obviously) Ireland (family probably) France (i dunno) Russia (oh come on really?) USA (they probably didn't get it) and Colombia(???????). SO big thanks to all those spreading the word about our show!!!!
Next week we may or may not be joined by Dave from The Flowing, then the following week the Van Susans. More on them next week!
Exciting news for fans of The Medway City Status Bid (fans?) the very vocal Peter Cook will be joining us live in the Studio to discuss this as well as his new music! We have invited the council(city wannabes) into the studio too so watch this space for an update in the future!
Cool
Fizzer!!!!
