Sharing the evening with Total Brownish

Was very hot, got attacked by Mosquitoes. In Finland. 

Played a fine set with Vanishing Twin supporting one of the most important bands in my musical development. 

With Susumu Mukai (Zongamin) and Kenichi Iwasa

Incredible Society Show

Supporting AK/DK

Supporting Snapped Ankles

A glorious all evening event with many friends playing - the delight of the evening for me was sharing the stage with pete Um. We traded playing songs back and forth, taking turns. i hope to do that again soon.

A space disco party with a colourful icelandic space fairy. I managed some nice synaesthetic shapes with the speakers. Caught some smiles. Played tracks from Alien Flowers, Duck wars, and previewed new songs I had just recorded for Hot Space

It had been maybe ten years or so since I played with the amazing avant punk jazz group from Leeds and they were so good. Very strange sound system, so I had to adapt my music on the spot to fit the sound, deconstructing my music which i enjoy doing.

This was a fun show. sold Out. Big Crowd. Really had em into it. Played kinda trashy but trashy was good for the night. Sold alot records. The announcement that Mark e Smith of the Fall had just passed away came between my set and Snapped ankles. RIP. the Fall are a huge influence, adding to the tension aspect of what I try to do

I had so much fun at this sold out show. Each track was presented as a song from a fictitious mFu LP, the cover of which I projected on the wall behind me. Entertaining concept for me and the audience. Shit and Shine played one Looong song based on a Steely Dan sample.

Shared a great night with my long time pals in visual music group Sculpture

Long psychedelic space jam to a very small audience with a great band for the evening, Gardylew Spew on sax, Kenichi Iwasa and Jonas Golland on percussion, Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt joining me on guitar. Some nice moments

Having recorded in the summer with Laetitia I was invited to play one song with her during her set on MS20 synthesizer. It was a great moment for me to play with one of my long time favourite musicians and inspirations.

This came as suprise last minute to be asked to play guitar with Damo Suzuki from Can and Xaviers ( my housemate Kenechi and two of Bo Ningen ). Sold out show and we played with great energy. I lost my pick and used a metal bottle cap which provided some awesome glassy sounds. A favourite show. Very happy to play in dual guitar with Yuki, one of my favourite guitarists

A show I put on myself for my friends and colleagues from Liege Belgium who play some of the finest late 60s style French pop. It was a wonderful evening. Played drums in the first act with Jacques Duvall and keys in the last act with the Loved Drones. Everyone dancing, great vibe. mademoiselle nineteen, Benjamin Schoos and Laetita sadier played a set of gorgeous melodic songs in the middle. 

A much better more light hearted show with Vanishing Twin. Colourful hippy trippy 60s vibe to the evening and we had some cool musical moments  Nice to be by the Sea and in Brighton

One of my favourite shows ever and such a thrill to playing at the Rough Trade instore venue on the week of the launch of our debut album. So many friends came and helped with sound and filming and it felt like a concert and very warm vibes. Could do this night again and again. We played super well.

I did not enjoy this. It was anything but my idea of psychedelic. Dark rooms, heavy sounds, too much beer from too many beer tokens and was drunk by stagetime with vanishing twin. Equipment thrown to the side by stage hands immediately on finish. Ended up with a massive headache and the chills on torturous nightlong drive home - woke up in Angel, and it was.
