Evening!
Cheers to those at the open mic last week who witnessed the second performance by Spiral Architects (or Spiral Architect – the debate is on) which was the first to include myself in the frame on theramin and pedals, but rest assured we’re hoping it wont be the last. It was all very random and very much a loose jam thing going on in the end with Ross/Paul/myself being joined by barman Johnny Leg playing guitar, Nick the piercer on Sax, and some random bloke adding random vocals.
The performance is available on www.somefoolwitha.com/fawcett under the Open Mic 7th November heading… I’m sure we all have our own comments on the gig, but I shall leave it to you the listener to make up your own mind.
There was also a nice variety of other music that night too from Motorhead tribute Over the Top through to Dave Auton’s solo acoustic set so please check them all. The site also includes the previous Spiral Architects performance somewhere so feel free to check it out. Sets to download from other evenings out at our favorite pub include such as the killer performance from the Autons on 5th October along with other top local bands including Bubble Dubble and Cool Banana.
So onto other websites I have recently enjoyed (for completely unbiased reasons!) including www.hackwriters.com and in particular the two links already quoted below by Dave, for short stories by the lovely Tessa Foley so please cast your eyes over these and support your future idols.
The new look www.dustedbreaks.com has now launched, keeping dance music alive, the crew have been responsible for a number of top breaks nights in and around Pompey area and beyond, including guest DJ’s over the years such as Red Jerry and DJ Hyper. Having recently sweated it out at V-Bar, the dusted breaks site includes audio streams and pod casts in order for you to enjoy some of the fine beats these folk have to offer, along with a number of quality games and unflattering photos.
I’ve been a bit slack on visiting my other home of the Wedge recently (www.wedgewood-rooms.co.uk), but with the Buzzcocks and Dirty DC looking likely to be visits on the horizon I’m sure gig reviews will come along in the near future.
What else, well it looks like my Power of the Octopus EP thing has gone down well with Ben and Dave so thank you loads for the positive feedback - apparently the artwork is almost ready… so if any one else wants a copy of the CD give Benjamin_Sanguine or myself a shout.
Catch you later.
