Where have all the superheroes gone?

Where have all the superheroes gone?

Shot this the other day before Winter hit us. Thought it might make a pretty neat single or poster for the band. There’s something about the clouds in the background that make this really foreboding, whilst the ’superhero’ seems completely oblivious. Quite dramatic in a way.

Bill Hicks on Gold Digger

Did you know that we are BIG BIG fans of the late Bill Hicks? We love him so much that we got in contact with his family to ask permission to use some of his lines on one of our tracks called ‘We’re All One’. A legendary man – check out his classic clip on SMOKERS.
 

Buy a bit of London Heathrow's third runway!

Buy a bit of London Heathrow’s third runway!

Hello, this one is quite funny if you believe that a third runway at Heathrow would be a bad thing for the environment: Greenpeace have bought a bit of land where the runway is supposed to be! You can put your name on the deeds and make it really hard for it to go ahead.

Obama, we are watching you…

Went to Simon’s on Friday and wrote a little ditty that is still ringing around in my head. Can’t shake it.

Where is the love?
I want a different language

tolerance

Obama, take note. I am following you on Twitter.

Love all the People

Love all the People

“Bill Hicks – blowtorch, excavator, truthsayer, and brain specialist, like a reverend waving a gun around. He will correct your vision. Others will drive on the road he built”
This is a quote from Tom Waits regarding Bill Hicks’ “Love all the People” – which I am reading at the moment – and finding truly inspirational. What a [...]

Wanted: Gigs outside London

Wanted: Gigs outside London

As I type these letters with my ice cold hands as London sinks below freezing once again I’m already thinking about the next series of Gold Digger gigs and when to book them. First off, I’d like to ask anyone out there who doesn’t live in London to have a nose about and see if [...]

My love affair with Glastonbury

My love affair with Glastonbury

Glastonbury Festival, eh? I’ve been 5 times and had some of the best times of my life there. I love it. But what did my nut in last year was when the organizers announced the ’controversial’ 2008 line-up and loads of people started complaining and predicting it was going to be the worst Glastonbury ever.
