visual riches, Oct ’21

A brief whizz of noise from Bar 42 the other week – song is Ugly Man.

Here’s the recent Eight Miles High Club gig in Brighton…  had some good gigs lately, but this one had to be the most fun in a while – with 2) Fane 3) Melt Plastic Group & 4) the edge of an energetic crowd: all fantastic.

Bar 42, Worthing, 15 Aug

We did our first gig in about 18 months a couple of days ago.

It was hot, sweaty and loud – I’d almost forgotten how that feels.  It went great, and I’m hyper-aware what a pleasure and privilege it is, after the shitty time we’ve all endured, to do this again.  Personally, I dealt with the suspense by focusing on my recent album and working on a follow-up; but there was a point where many venues’ survival looked pretty shaky – as did the whole musical ecosystem where I occupy a marginal corner.  And while the covid ordeal’s not over just yet, at least that part of it is.  I’m very, very glad.

More to follow – something early September for Sad House Daddy in London first of all, then a couple of things closer to home.  Details shortly! x

These were taken at Sunday’s Bar 42 gig, and include shots of Dran Krwawy, La Pequena Em, Kuroneko… I really like this photographer’s work, which captures the heightened, adrenalised feel of live performance better than most others I can think of – without resorting to any of the obvious moves – so it’s a thrill to be included.  Feast yr eyes, glut yr etc.

And for good measure, here’s a video of an unreleased song called Evil Relief :
