Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson RIP

I was fortunate enough to meet Peter Christopherson and the rest of Throbbing Gristle shortly after they played what has proved to be the last ever Throbbing Gristle performance. It was a shock to learn that he has died; The Quietus has done a much better job of eulogising him than I think I can, you can read it here.

1955 - 2010

New Miss Cosmos

It's been too long since I last posted, but what better way to return to the blog than with news of very good new music? My favourite band in the world MISS COSMOS have some new songs on their MySpace and they're great.

I also conducted an interview with them for Construction House about a year ago, you can read it here

New band, cool show

I was recently asked by my friend Samir from the disco pop group Flats to play bass in a new group called, um, Bloody New Year. It's the brainchild of one Max Macbride, the music reminds me a America and No Age and hot dogs and stuff. Have a listen, I'll be playing bass with BNY in support of Private Trousers on Wednesday 3rd November.

I'll also be playing a show with Wetdog 10 days later at The George Tavern, other bands are The Rayographs and Evans The Death. It's £5 entry or 3 if you're on the cheap list. Email construction.house@hotmail.com to get on the list. Limited space available, see you soon!

Beautiful
