Sarah, Track Of The Day

Clash have written very kindly about the first track from my forthcoming album today. They're streaming "Sarah, Plain & Tall" on their website, you can listen below.

They write: "His take on atmospheric post punk casts chiming shadows through an Echo & The Bunnymen shaped prism of multi-layered guitars and low-fi loops to impressive effect. With a voice reminiscent of obscure late 80’s indie troubadour Bill Pritchard, fragile yet attractive, he also channels the sound of Smiths-era underground British guitar pop, whilst an unfussy backbeat breaks the song up and down with weary panache." Read Libby Moné's full article here.

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.
