We had our first radio show last night. If you tuned in, nice one! If you didnt, hit Insanity next sunday, 10pm-12am! We didnt really know what to expect or what was going to happen, and the sensation of talking on an actual radio station was a very strange one. It's essential talking to yourself while hearing yourself through a pair of headphones, which is mad. But fun. Really fun! The Insanity studio is super cosy, we had a couple of that new 4% Stella, a half packet of mildly stale rich tea and two record boxes to keep us going through to the start of Monday morning. The show revolved around a two hour mix of all our favourite music and a little bit of talking, we played a whole bunch of songs that went from filthy rock n roll to ehtiopian soul to big ol' low end dubstep to harsh doomy noise to pyschedelia to post rock to motown to funk to... You get the picture. We talked about geeky things like record labels and guitarists and did our best to uphold some quality disc jockey one liners. Here's to next sunday!
A big funk/soul/jazz fan plays before us. He's called Matthias and is ace, he plays the two hours before us and we're probably going to turn our end of weekend evening into a four hour dance move marathon, three of us waltzing around the queen anne annexe to giles peterson compilations and obscure hungarian funk rock. Yes!
We're playing 22nd/23rd at Tommy's. Come say hello. Psyched to finally get a chance to play at the union and douse the place in something that isnt cheese pop or RNB. Insanity and Love To Make Noise mid week back to back parties. Should be most excellent!
Take care!
