Space Weather Sounds forthcoming LP

About halfway through the production of our next release 'illusion ship' (SWS002) by Space Weather Sounds.
A 4 track LP with side A recorded during rehearsals/jams at Maker studio, and side B live at Eastnor. Again this is a cassette only release but this time on dead stock super tropical green tape, limited to 50 copies. We've taken both the music and the artwork a step further on this one adding full colour artwork, labels and sleeve notes picked up from the ether. There maybe some very limited CD promos floating around at some point soon so watch this space weather sounds...

HEAD show

Psyched to announce that I'll be contributing to the forthcoming HEAD show in Brighton that opens this coming Saturday 21st November. The show is being put together by Pinky and Prescription Art and features Neasden Control Centre, Pinky, Russell, Eco, Paris, Milk, Matt Sewell, Dan Mudwig and myself. The opening party is from 7pm and will feature psyched and smeared DJs plus a live set by the awesome Diagonal.

We're going to be painting the walls in the space so it's going to be a gung-ho show!
If you're in the East Sussex area come on over.

MAW Present WIzards At Work

Join Captain Jon Tye and myself Pete Fowler as we take the wheel again at the Big Chill Bar this coming Wednesday the 11th of November for another forage into sounds we dig.

No guest this month but we attempt to evoke the spirit of Todd Rundgren over the night with a bit of a mini tribute. No, he's far from dead, we know that! But in anticipation of him performing A Wizard A True LP star next February in London we will indulge you in a smattering of his tunes.
A true original gonzo / powerpop / balladeering / synth and axe wielding chap, we salute him, his studio madness and an ear for a fine tune.

Lots of people seem to be digging his stuff at the moment and we think it's time to give him props.

Todd's 'International Feel' used on Daft Punk's movie Electroma (excuse the lousy sound)


Hope to see you there.

Fleetwood Mac

Saw Fleetwood Mac on friday night, awesome and one of the best gigs I have ever seen, full stop.
Up there with Big Black at the Newport Centre!

Let's hope they come up with the goods on a new LP but who knows....

Stolen Moments

The lovely Dan Canyon recently interviewed me for Stolen Moments, hosted by Spine Television in this month's quartet of subjects. Many thanks Dan!

Cate Le Bon

Just got back from Cardiff's Swn music festival after playing records/drinking SA in the City Arms during a Scrabble session and caught Cate Le Bon's fantastic set on Saturday night at Y Fuwch Goch. Most excellent and I urge you to go out and but her new LP. In the meantime here's a film for 'Hollow Trees House Hounds' directed by Casey Raymond and Ewan Jones Morris, I love this!

(Thanks to Jon, Huw and Fionna for pulling off another great Swn)
