- Friday night - Central London - £3 guestlist -
usually choosing any two of these options would automatically exclude the other...

I'll be on stage at 9:45 but the list closes at 9:15 so make sure to get down early to avoid having to pay the regular price (£8/£6). Free Beat Ratio CDs will be available for everyone!

A big thank you to everyone that came down yesterday at Power Lunches and especially to Alex and Masaki for organizing the night.
Ewe played an amazing stripped-down set so I can only imagine what these guys are going to do with a full line-up!
Definitely a band to keep under your radar!
New pictures!

The Luxe
Mar 7th 2012
Here are a few pictures from the gig at the Luxe last Wednesday taken by my good friend Juli.
Despite three bands pulling out at the last minute and a few technical difficulties the gig was a lot of fun!
"Avalanche" went down well and I got the honour to play with the lovely Nicky Phillips; a very talented singer songwriter whose stuff I recommend checking out: nickyphillipsmusic.comI have another show at the end of the month. Will post the details as soon as I get confirmation from the organizers so check this space!
Recording Days
Feb 25th 2012
In yet another celebration of my nerdiness I'd like to introduce you to a cassette which rarely comes out of my rack; but when it does it means new songs are ready!
The final stereo masters of "Avalanche" and "Heartbeats" are already printed in magnetic soundwaves on this very tape and will soon be online for you to hear! Here's a quick video of a rough-mix attempt at "Avalanche". It should at least give you an idea of what goes on backstage! ;)
New show at the Luxe on Leap Day!

Jan 26th 2012
A massive thank you to everyone who came down yesterday!
Seeing you all out there really gave me the energy I needed to play the show! THANKS!!! I will try to keep looking for free entry gigs (I'd much prefer you spent your money on booze than an overpriced ticket!) and hope to see you all again at the next one! Will post some pics from the night as well as a short video soon.
Last but not least a huge thank you to Chris and Mark at Musicborn for putting together the night. If you're in a band check out their website: musicborn.com. It's an invaluable resource for finding gigs!

"On our Way" and pics from the gig
Jan 11th 2012
Here's a quick video I recorded while I was home for the holidays. It's sort of a "naked" version of a track I'm working on right now. I intended to call it "On Our Way (to Fall in Love)" but then realized (thanks youtube!) that Yo La Tengo has a song with the same name so I might change it later.
Here are a couple of shots from the gig courtesy of Patricia!
First gig yesterday
Dec 19th 2011
Just thought I'd write a few lines now while the memories are still fresh... It was an awesome night of extreme blues, spilled beer, feedback, a dancing Santa Claus and late night taxi-cab harmonica jams. Thanks to everyone who came down, the other bands (Effort, Extreme Blues Dog and The Flying Rats) and a special thank you to Patricia for making it all happen!Live tonight!
Dec 18th 2011
