Renegade Brass Band @ HiFi Club (Leeds, Sunday September 12th)

Hi folks, just resting up after hitting up the Off the Tracks Festival down in Donnington yesterday with the Tentaclay. I felt as if my skull was slightly pushing forward for most of the afternoon, which didn’t help proceedings. The Gig went well. -Apart from a few issues with sound and tech, I thought the baptism of fire approach worked well for our new Drummer and Saxophonist, well done to both Tim & Hannah respectively. So with the smell of fresh cowpats and middle class hippies out of nostrils range, let’s look ahead to some upcoming dates.

RBB are returning to The HiFi Club in Leeds to play another Sunday Joint next Sunday, September 12th. It’s always nice to be asked back and we really enjoyed playing the last time we were in Leeds. We’re (RBB) also playing our second gig at The Forum in Sheffield on Friday 24th of September and The Maze in Nottingham on Friday 1st October. Then off to Derby to play the Robert Ludlum Theatre on Friday October 22nd. 7BT are also confirmed to play the Oxjam Festival in Sheffield at the Forum on Sunday October 24th. More details will be added to the Live Events section.

With the Live Events taken care of, let’s segway into production. Renegades are heading into the studio soon, half of the second 7BT EP is recorded, I’ve been writing shit load of new material, spread across a lot different projects at various stages of completion. At the moment I’m currently getting to grips with Ableton, removing all my other DAW programs to force-learn it, getting back into DJ’ing with pads and working on an eclectic range of composistions. Keeping busy.

Hope to see you in Leeds on Sunday.

Just got back from Leeds a few hours ago, thanks to all the people who came down and supported Oxjam and the promoters who worked on the individual nights around the city. It was great to get out and meet some people, play to a different crowd and start again outside our comfort zone.

The Tentacles and I, are also playing alongside From the Kites of San Quentin in Manchester on December 4th and then Bristol on the 5th (more details to follow) – We’re also supporting Johannesburg’s 4 piece BlkJks in Sheffield on November 4th, just two days after they share the stage with Warp Records artists Flying Lotus and Battles in Manchester.

On Friday the 13th of November I’m moonlighting with good friends The Renegade Brass Band to offer support to The Nextmen & Ms. Dynamite at The Tuesday Club in Sheffield. It’s been a while since I’ve played TTC.

A couple of links and information to pass out.

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.
