Schlock of Love

Schlock of Love

I was flicking through the cable channels last night when I came across possibly the most shallow of all reality TV shows ever. It was called ‘Rock of Love’ and features ex-Poison lead singer Bret Michaels on a completely contrived and narcisstic search for his ideal woman. The general premise is that after years at [...]

Rave On

Rave On

On Saturday 29th August Gold Digger are playing a gig at Dirty South alongside Bez from the Happy Mondays. He’s got a new band going called Domino Bones, which I believe features ex-members of the Stone Roses and Black Grape. Should be a good crack. I’m looking forward to performing our new Gold Digger mash-up of [...]

Michael Jackson in Lyon

Michael Jackson in Lyon

Well almost. Gold Digger have just come back from performing at this year’s Fete de la Musique in Lyon, where we played our dance-rock mashed-up of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’. It’s a great track that we Gold Diggers have put through the machines and morphed into something totally new. We’ve called it ‘Now is the time’ and is definitely one of [...]

Gold Digger Gig At 333

Gold Digger Gig At 333

Brothers! Sisters! Gold Digger are back with a headline slot at the Mother Bar (above the 333 Club) in Shoreditch on May 1st. Should be a cracker as all the bands look amazing (check them out via the links below).  See you there?
What have we been up to I hear you cry? Well loads actually, apart from some [...]

Kraftwurst Kraftwurst

Kraftwurst Kraftwurst

Not a good day today. I’ve taken the day off work sick, the sun has dissapeared behind the clouds and I’m feeling totally miserable. Still, this video from the Rathergood team cheered me up. In fact it’s a good representation of what my head feels like at the moment. More lemon Sip anyone?

Album launch and Christmas party

Album launch and Christmas party

Fri, the 19th of December. Thanks to everyone who came along. We gave out loads of copies of the new album GET IT TOGETHER, and played our best performance yet
At 9pm the place was empty, which was a little worrying – but during the next hour the place filled up like a kettle waiting to [...]

Stay Up Late with Heavy Load

Stay Up Late with Heavy Load

Nice one. I’ve just heard about this band called Heavy Load who have a track called ‘Stay Up Late’ coming out very soon. It turns out that the band are supporting a campaign about how many people with learning difficulties are never allowed to stay out late at all. Being dependant on their care workers, they [...]

Having a Munch

Having a Munch

Aren’t mobile video phones amazing? You can now record anything you want in the name of digital expression.
Well, here is the gang expressing themselves after recording for a day at The Premises studio. There’s not much natter as we are knackered and slightly wired by the pots of coffee we have consumed all day. You [...]

Music Is My Religon

Music Is My Religon

Morning Gang. Last week I took a couple of days off work to go down to our studio and work on some new material with Simon. The result was exhausting but brilliant. As you know, we’ve spent a lot of time fuelling the ‘Get it Together’ Album so it was a relief to pull some new [...]

Strange Story: Mormon Sex Slave.

Strange Story: Mormon Sex Slave.

Definitely one of the stranger stories that I’ve read in the papers this week. Caught my attention in particular ‘cos part of it was set in in the part of London where I live. It all stemmed from an peculiar article about an american woman called Joyce McKinney who’d recently paid £25,000 to have her deceased pet [...]
