Them's the Breaks...

Recommendations for a gloomy winters' evening when the clocks have gone back. "Rio Breaks" didn't quite reach 5* status, but nonetheless comes warmly recommended (no pun intended). I was reminiscing days gone by on my hard drive recently, and stumbled upon some recordings that were made in the "mix club" days. My friend and mentor Niki was and is on another level musically. He ended a beautifully tripped out jazz selection with the Sarah Vaughan record.

Sympathy/Bed Eyes

L and I stumbled round the corner last night to see a new band called Drum Eyes. The gig was in a pub that looked like someone's living room. The support act were pretty dull and L was giving me the "WTF have you dragged me along to, again!?" look. However after the strobetastic finale with lots of jumping and screaming she confessed that out of all the weird gigs I'd made her endure, this rated alongside Dieter Moebius. I've gotta say, these dudes were pretty sick...





Good work Bad Timing promoter people!
