East End Live, Monochrome Set

On July 13th I will be playing at East End Live, a new music festival from the brains behind the East End Film Festival.

I'll be supporting The Monochrome Set at Cargo, with another very exciting band to be announced over the coming weeks.

Last week I interviewed Bid from The Monochrome Set, here's what he said to say for himself

Evans The Death & me

I love Evans The Death. Half of them are from my neck of the woods (Brentwood's neighbouring town of Chelmsford) and they've released consistently great pop music for about four or five years now, I think. I tried to book them for my old club night Construction House in 2010 but unfortunately they had to pull out at the last second.

Thankfully I've been given an opportunity to play with them next month at The Old Blue Last (RSVP here). Charlie & co are going to play some records again, it's going to be great.

Launch Party

Thanks to everyone who came to see me, Happy Hooves and Bob Constant on Tuesday. I never knew I had so many friends hiding in so many different places.

Resonance FM Session

On the 23rd March I'll be joining Dexter Bentley at Resonance, 104.4 FM to play a live session with my band. Resonance is the world's first radio arts station, showcasing diverse talent both local and international. They've featured early performances from XX Teens and Trash Kit as well as my friends from Flats and Electricity In Our Homes. Furthermore, one of my favourite comics Stewart Lee is a Resonance patron; of the show, he says "it's the only thing I listen to, really" which is a good enough endorsement for me.


Also joining me to play live will be legendary punk Vic Godard, of the seminal group The Subway Sect. Here's a session they did for John Peel in 1977. Anyway, tune in on the 23rd.

"Children's Bones" Video & Behind-The-Scenes

Last month a small crew made up of extras, producers and camera operators embarked on a journey into deepest darkest Dalston to shoot the video for my forthcoming new single, "Children's Bones".

The finished product is now online, and we are all pleased with the result. Watch below; keep scrolling afterwards, though, because I've put together a small behind the scenes video to show you the vision that is me walking around in public, looking very pink and cold.

Anyway my sincerest thanks to Angelica Riccardi, Beniamino Barrese, Samir Eskanda, Peggy-Sue Cranney, Danny Stead and Rhiannon Thomas for making the production possible.

Let me know what you think of both, and I'll see you on the 26th.
