Speedo is a legend!!!!!!!



Here's some more of John Reis (Speedo) giving some awesome advice about bowling and chatting about his most recent band The Night Marchers. John is one of my favourite musicians, he's a huge influence on my guitar playing and a huge influence on most of the music I make. I'm also fortunate to have met him when my old band Punk Action Shotgun supported Hot Snakes in TJs, Newport. John and Gar who are interviewed here were both in Hot Snakes and were super nice guys and made that gig one of the highlights of my musical life!

And here's some Night Marchers performing live......


I can't wait for more Speedo!

And here's me stealing the mic at the last Hot Snakes gig in London!

More from the recent gig.

Here's a cover of Rocket From The Crypt that I like to try and play if a gig is going well. It's full of mistakes and I sing the wrong lyrics...............I don't think Speedo would mind, it's rock n roll.

PS Here's the original performed live on US TV. I love RFTC!

I hope my kids are born with some raw natural talent.........



.....like these two young men, having to try hard sucks I wouldn't wish that on anyone. This is a cool section, I'm not so into the music so my tip is to turn the sound down and listen to a song that you like, it'll fit guaranteed.

Enjoy!

Gig on Monday 25th April with The Keys and Two Cow Garage!



I'm really excited about this gig now I've been listening to The Keys loads! Monday 25th April in Le Pub, £6 door entry for four bands on Bank Holiday Monday!!! Why not drink all afternoon and then come out to this gig, I think it'll be good.

Hope to see you there!

Two new demos

Both new demos recorded today only they're both very different. I'm not really sure what I've been up to so far today to come up with this stuff (other than editing a music video I shot for the band Kutosis.............or I suppose, finding excuses to not edit Kutosis' music video, but to drink loads of coffee).

Maybe it's just the caffeine..............

Upcoming gigs

Dear Bloggers,

I have two gigs coming up that I'm pretty excited to say I'm playing. First is Le Pub, Newport on Monday 25th April (bank holiday Monday) supporting Two Cow Garage, here's the flyer:
And the second gig is supporting the Daniel Higgs Trio in Ten Feet Tall, Cardiff on Thursday 28th April. I'm really excited about both gigs, especially getting the chance to play on the bill with Daniel Higgs.  One of the best live performances I've ever witnessed was Daniel's band Lungfish in TJs, Newport (around 10? years ago), he's a powerful performer. He currently plays banjo based folk songs backed up by piano/accordion and drums. Here's the excellent flyer for this gig, designed by Chris Summerlin:

Both gigs are £6 entry, I hope to see some of you there! fingers crossed I may have a new single to give away on used cdr if I can get it finished and mixed in time.

Papercuts - Fading Parade

Greetings fellow music appreciators!

I've been on a bit of a Subpop bothering mission lately. Not only am I currently listening to the new Low Album - C'Mon , but I've also been listening the crap out of Papercuts' recent album Fading Parade.

This is the first song off Fading Parade entitled 'Do You Really Wanna Know?'


It's rare that I get into an album as a whole, I normally lose interest and pick on a few of the tracks that stand out above the general mire of album fillers. Fading Parade is however genuinely an accomplished collection of songs, with no fillers, that have become ingrained in my brain over the last few weeks. Any track off the album could be released as a single, as they're all brilliantly written.

I guess you could say it's quite a melancholic album, but that's what I'm into at the moment so I'm diggin' the vibe, loads. I think they do sound a bit like Beach House, but I wasn't that taken by the last Beach House album Teen Dreams, it got rave reviews from the usual indie rock judging suspects, but it didn't really sink in with me. I much preferred their first album Devotion. Perhaps I'll give Teen Dreams another try one day.................I think we'd all like to give our teen dreams another try one day..........................................................or just listen to Papercuts instead.

I'm off.

GOLF - Kitty Litta



Whilst checking out the music videos from a recent BUG I found this little gem. It almost made me want to join a golf club........................almost. This song is excellent.

John Cardiel - Beefcore (featuring Lt Meat)

John Cardiel (Featuring Lt Meat) by Beefcore

I forgot how good this track, and Beefy himself is. The track was dedicated to John Cardiel after he tragically broke his back and was near enough paralysed from the waste down. John has made a legendary recovery and has even got back on his board..............

Piano Composition

Piano Movement No.01 by Lt Meat

I was supposed to be recording some of my new country album today, but instead (as usual) I've been distracted and I've been playing piano for the last few hours instead. I can't really play piano, but I'm quite pleased with this live recording from earlier on. It was mostly improvised with some vague ideas of the chords from another song. I hope you like it.

I'm currently trying to get some old instrumental compositions spruced up to feature in a free library music index on a new section of Steak Records there's a lot of my old instrumentals on Sound Cloud if you're curious to have a listen or you just like instrumental music.

New Low Album 'C'Mon' Hitting Shelves very soon!

Low - Especially Me by subpop

I love this song, it's been on repeat in my mind since it appeared on Sound Cloud two weeks ago. I've heard the new Low album on an exclusive (but not really exclusive) album stream off 'The Guardian' website. It is immense, it sounds vast and limitless and to me, at least, seems to fit with these troubling and turbulent times. I've pre-ordered it, I haven't pre-ordered anything other than food items in restaurants/sandwich emporiums for the last ten years.

Pre-ordering is shit...................but sometimes it feels good.

Dan Sartain's New Album!!!!!!?

Yes!



Dan Sartain, a young punk rock singer songwriter from Birmningham, Alabama, USA releases his new album 'Legacy of Hospitality' on One Little Indian records April 23rd and plays a gig in Bristol, Thekla on the 26th April. I shall be buying his album at that gig.

The artwork also looks very cool and suspiciously like a certain Rick Froberg's work. Rick is in the band Obits who've also just released a new album on Subpop. It's super good you kids should check it out.

I play a live cover of Dan's song 'The World Is Gonna Break Your Little Heart' from his second album 'Join Dan Sartain'. I'm a fan of his work and steal quite a lot of ideas from his records, so I'm really looking forward to this new release! Hopefully I can crib enough stuff to get my own album finished by summer.

I also play a gig on 25th April in Le Pub, Newport, when I'll be perfuming my Dan Sartain cover along with some of my own songs for your audible pleasures. It'd be nice to see you all there!
