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 [...]
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 [...]
Absent Kelly brings you a multitude of talent at the Dirty South Mini Festival! Members of The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays come together to perform their first ever London show, as the super group Domino Bones! The group features Bez (Happy Mondays), Simon Moore (The Stone Roses/Ian Brown), Wags (Black Grape/Mondays) as well as other [...]
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 [...]
The final curtain call. Ah, what a shame we didn’t get to see him perform just one more time, never mind fifty. I hope the world will remember him for his music and nothing else. People are already pumping out naff jokes about his death…..
True, he led a bit of a chequered private life (it’s [...]
Just got back from playing the Kona Mash Up gig at The Drop Off Cafe in the Afan Forest, Wales. An absolutely stunning place, with a great crowd and a wicked venue. We Gold Diggers played two 45 minute sets and had the crowd jumping along and calling for more. In fact, the event organizer loved [...]
Nice. Olivia has grabbed some footage of our recent show at UPP. This was a fantastic venue and we hope to get the opportunity to play there again soon. They’ve got a really nice scene soted there and all the bands are helping each other out. Nice vibe.
Anyway, check out the video. Olivia on vocs.
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 [...]
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?
Word up peeps. To celebrate the fact that it’s Steve’s birthday very soon we’re throwing a gig at Troy Bar, Hoxton on Saturday (March 7th) and you’re all invited.
Should be good crack as we’ll be joined by the mighty Dripping Baguettes who are reforming after all these years. We’ll also be performing live from a [...]
