Your band keeps coming up on my Facebook feed - looks like your sponsored posts are getting around!

That's not my name - The Ting Tings

Bit of Jeff and Rhonda doing covers...

Right said Fred - Bernard Cribbins

Ive got "Georgia on my mind" and "What'd I say" off it on the playlist - all on Spotty!

Excellent, just stuck that album on too! 1585 songs so far, from Bach to Scientist, Fatback to King Tubby, Parliament to Jimmy Smith, Heptones to Herbie Hancock, Scientist to Schubert but probably 60% reggae.

Again!

I'd forgotten all about him! Just added a stack to our shop playlist...

Bela Lugosi's Dead - Bauhaus

Killing in the name of - RATM

I enjoyed it as well!

If he can do that why does he not do more interesting stuff in U2? 😁

Holidays in the sun -Sex Pistols

Yet another gig for us... This time at the Guttercrush Punk and Alternative All-Dayer at the Wrekin Inn, Wellington near Telford on Sunday 5th May... Even got a video flyer with our own audio! ChokedGuttercrushVid.mp4

We played third out of 4 bands at The Herdsman in Hereford last night... First band up were ANoise, who do a sort of dance-punk craziness with lots of bizarre costume changes... Lots of fun, though unfortunately only about 6 people had come in by then. Then it was MC16, who do an excellent agit-punk thing - highly recommended (but no pix, though we're playing with them again next week near Telford). Then it was us - luckily I'd brought my Big Amp (1500W!) so I could be heard, which is always nice cos it's all about me 😁. We had the biggest crowd, either because somehow we have fans or, more likely, we had the best time slot. And actually, rather than muttering about how rubbish we were or shouting "Oi, flash w4nkr!" if we dared to play above the 5th fret, someone came up and said I played like Les Claypool! I suspect he must have been very, very drunk. And we are also now officially a covers band, as our other bass player suddenly started playing RATM's "Bullet to the Head" and then our encore was our Cameo/Penetration mash-up of "Don't Dictate"... Headline band were Last Tree Squad who do a ReggaeRapPunk thing and are proper groovy, though I only saw one of their songs due to having to get my ancient self to bed ready for work at sparrow's in the morning...

Shoot your shot - Divine

I'd like to be able to produce something a bit like this... Party piece: Plus the tone and pure groove of this - BTW, the SI unit of cool is the Bootsy, with a theoretical max of 1 Bootsy as epitomised by the man himself. Most folks get into the milliBbotsy range!

Hello? - Lionel Ritchie

I saw 'em in the early 80s... They were great, but he was very, very drunk. which isn't surprising as his rider asked for a case of wine and two bottles of vodka! (I know this as my girlfriend was on the Ents catering team at Leeds Uni).

Bullet in the head - Rage Against The Machine

Arf!

Are we not voting this month as it's obvious that Lurks has won? 😁

Strictly speaking, mine isn't a Flybass anyway, it's the cheaper PB51. Same shape though but mine only cos me £500 new (no doubt some will say "U wuz robbd! U shoulda bought a 1961 Fender wot only makes one noise for £6k instead!" 😁)

Funnily enough, I'm loving mine! It looks far more interesting than yer Fenders, and I find it doesn't dig in at all, though I strap it on good and high... Great sound too from the EMGs.

Love and Pride - King
