...well kind of: the film of Duncan's performance may be screened at Tate Modern, along with a live improvised Samneric soundtrack, sometime in late June or July. Only a shame its not something we can invite anyone to...

Nice to see Dave a Keith last night, on their way to a Ministry gig at the Forum: we hope to hear all about this soon. Duncan is in Berlin for the Biennale right now, so hopefully we'll hear more about that as well. I tried to visit the Psycho Buildings show at the Hayward yesterday, which looks quite interesting; except that it only opened today. I did enjoy the May 1968 posters greatly, though. www.southbankcentre.co.uk

This Saturday night Jim Bob and Fruitbat are performing in their various non-Carter guises at the infamous Windmill in Brixton. From 5pm, £5 adv./£6 door inc. free bbq. www.wegotickets.com

Venn Festival in Bristol is on 5-8 June featuring Matmos. www.vennfestival.com

See the classic Donnie Darko at the Roxy Bar and Screen on Sunday 1 June from 8pm, then the Kite Runner at the same time on Monday www.roxybarandscreen.com

Just as taster for the full film - not sure if this will be on the web or DVD - here's a little fonefilm of Duncan adjusting his horn in preparation for his performance at the Montague Arms, Peckham 8 May 2008. Sorry if you get a crick in your neck...

Ok, I'm sorry… but self promotion time again people:

SPIRAL ARCHITECTS _ Live! SATURDAY 24th May @ FAWCETT INN SOUTHSEA
FREE ENTRY
Plus Support

For those of you in the know, the Fawcett pub is my second home, and having now played Castle Field and Havana this will be our first full gig at the Fawcett, more than the regular Wednesday night performances as part of the open mic nights. So if you fancy it, and you want to see some hippies, please make yourself known by stepping forward and coming to support the local music scene.

Other info:There's a beer garden
10 minute walk from Fratton train station
We will have power!

Feel free please to invite the world via phone, email, text, facebook, word of mouth, smoke signals, carrier pigeon etc.

Thanks to any one who attended Oxjam where we may have spiralled in and out of randomness due to lack of power after our third song, but hopefully you all enjoyed our set and had a good day out regardless of if you saw us play.

In other Spiral news a September gig is in the pipeline (tbc) supporting Cool Banana @ Havana bar which I will promote nearer the time.

We will also be playing a lunchtime gig in honour of the Summer Solstice, again at the Fawcett, on Saturday 21st June basically for those whom are travelling to the pub having spent the night at Stonehendge - which will include at least half the band… I believe therefore this may be invite only for Stonehendge people and Fawcett regulars - however if you're interested I can find out…

…in the meantime, have fun, be happy.

Peace, love, unity
