BBC Sheffield and Live Events and some technical difficulties.

Vex — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:36:40 +0000

I’m making a return to the BBC Sheffield studios next week to offer vocal support to The Renegade Brass Band on their interview for BBC Raw Talent. They’ll also be performing a few songs for your listening pleasure. BBC Raw Talent Sheffield has had an amazing line up of guests including The Legend of the 7 Black Tentacles and recently the ReMixed in Sheffield collective. Be sure to look out for the remix of Dogface by Barker and Jack Opus.

On Friday, I’ll be Manchester. From the Kites of San Quentin are hosting ‘This City is Ours’ and are bringing the Tentacles and myself over the pennines to rock a special one off performance in Salford at the Sacred Trinity Church. Tickets are £5 in advance and it’s being powered by Gash soundsytem. I’ve been told that the building is fantastic and is an amazing place to hold a live performance, because of the gigs surroundings tickets are limited and punters have been asked to respect the building, so no funny business. Saturday we’ll be playing down in Bristol at The Junction.

~~I’m also having some technical difficulties with some plug-in’s on the site so at the moment the Tweet Feed and the MP3 Player seem to be down, I’ll have those back up and running A.S.A.P~~
Update:
Thanks to AFDIT the site’s little issues are all resolved.

Drowned In Sound, BLK JKS and Site Updates

Vex — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:49:56 +0000

Just a quick couple of things.

Here’s a few images from our previous outing to the Harley to offer support alongside Chris Noble and friends Screaming Maldini for the intense and layer heavy BLK JKS. Who are currently running rampant/sleeping somewhere in Europe touring their debut album After Robots.

- And also happen to be the nicest band we’ve ever had the pleasure to play with. They were digging are sound too, which was humbling. I ended up hanging around with Molefi, their bassist for most of the night and after their performance, exchanged details and CD’s and the sorts, maybe we’ll see something in the future.

The promotional poster for the Drowned In Sound gig (displayed on your left) is available for purchase at Gigposters.com, a great souvenir for those in attendance and for anyone who’s a fan of the BLK JKS.

The poster was designed by Laura Siragher

Also, in the way of updates, the site has a new theme and a new look. There’s also some code running behind the scenes that’s been updated. Including some updates. I’ve added a few plug ins that will help with the aesthetics and make the site easier to use. For example, in the post below, there’s now a streaming MP3 audio player that looks fantastic, and works very well. Thanks wpaudio. There’s also a new Facebook connection that syncs with your account and allows you to log into my site and add comments using your Facebook account. You can also choose to show the topics of discussion in your news feed which is pretty cool. I’m also going to work on getting Myspace and Twitter synced soon.

As usual here’s the linkage:

Live Events, Twitter and minor updates.

Just a quick heads up for those in Manchester and Leeds, we’re headlining the Oxjam Festival in Leeds on Sunday October 25th on a boat.

For those in Manchester on December 4th I highly suggest you grab a ticket to see us and the electronic marvel that is From The Kites of San Quentin. We really enjoyed playing with them back in August at Thirsty Ear with Kid Kanevil.

Small updates at http://www.myspace.com/vexthesurgeon and Facebook and Twitter accounts if you’re down with all that jazz.

Festivals, Facebook and Featured Artists

Shambala was a blast, more than a tag line. Between late night walks, trips to geisha houses, cooking on gas and getting groovy in the Twist and Spout; we managed to play to a packed circus tent (we lost count at 1300) Despite a few sound and running time issues we still left the crowd chorusing for more. It was also humbling to be mentioned in the featured artists section alongside The Hypnotic Brass Band, The Destroyers and The Bays to name a few. You must check out The Hypnotic Brass Band and The Destroyers, they were the highlights of the festival for me.

It was also great to come home and play the Stockroom to an intimate crowd of sweaty friends. We also got to world premier our Hip-Hop Medley to thunderous applause which was great (Running times, eh?). It was great to finally get a date sorted with promoters X-Ray Horse since we were originally supposed to play their debut night but had to pull out due to other commitments.

There’s also a page for Bishops Love Sci-fi fans on the ‘ol Facebook, it went live around five minutes ago, although myself and Mr Roberts are choosing not to divulge too much information on the project there’s a small insight for those interested.

That’s about everything for now. Just a quick couple of links.
