Gigadelica
I've just done a big update on the GIGS page and an even BIGGER one on the myspace page, as I'd forgotten to update that one for ages. They now include several rather exciting gigs, most exciting of all being the one I've just sorted out for Tuesday July 21st at The Wilmington Arms in That London. It's a co-headliner with all round good guy Mr Chris T-T! HOORAH!
My part of the evening will be the LAUNCH of Dinosaur Planet, which I am frantically learning even as we speak. It'll be the full show with a whole album's worth of brand new songs, ACTUAL JOKES, a properly worked out (mostly) story featuring spaceships, dinosaurs, car chases, massive battles, several SECRET THINGS, and a lengthy discourse on the virtues of using best practice in academic research. As far as I am able to tell, it is going to be GRATE!
Chris's half of the evening will be the debut of a new project he's working one - it's going to be 40 minutes of Improvised Piano Instrumentals! He's NEVER done this in front of an audience before, so it should be somewhat exciting - he may also be releasing an ALBUM of such items later in the year, and the stuff I've heard off it so far is GORGEOUS.
It'll be a fantastic evening, tho it does make me think - when I first knew Chris we were both, I think it's fair to say, fighting for the enduring legacy of Billy Bragg, and, by extension, PUNK. And now we're doing ROCK OPERA and PIANO INSTRUMENTALS. Is it PROG? Or is EVEN MORE PUNK? Come to the gig, you'll soon find out!
