Yes, fully intend to create a beachside residency for myself, one step at a time. Here’s the artist making the giant 4m banner backdrop for the balcony at the Pickwicks gigs. Cos web banners aren’t real enough. See you Saturday.

We’re designing and hanging banners at the gig on Saturday. Pull through and grab a paintbrush. Here’s a sample of the balcony backdrop.

Producers! Halo Atiyyah [v2.7] is now up for grabs. It’s your shot at remixing a pretty cool dubstep release, as featured on Listenup.za.net and Version 2.7 of Pravda23‘s The Kuleshov Effect. Download the separate stems below. Thought I’d let you get creative and left out ALL the beats. Do as you will, make me smile. Maybe even get released on the next version…

Pravda23 was recently featured alongside other ‘underground famous’ bands The Beams and The Sleepers on Ancient Shark of Despair. Also at the party is Gav, who is fantastic, and whose guitar I still play after 5 years of permanent borrowing. We helped out with a track called Landlord (listen below). Sharks are people too. Get to know the ASoD here.

Most certainly the most groovy number we’ve ever come up with. Looking forward to my beachside residency one of these days…
