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
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 [...]
Gold Digger Dirty South Gig (with Bez)
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 [...]
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
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
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
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 [...]
Balls of Titanium (or not).
Another curious story from my neck of the woods. Whilst reading the satirical magazine Private Eye this week, I came across the following hysterical article about a guy who happens to live in my local area (Kingston). A stern lesson in why one shouldn’t mess about with dangerous ‘toys’ without supervision. Here’s the article in full:
“At just [...]
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 [...]
Simon’s Filth & Splendour
Sometimes I like to bash the drums. Sometimes I even like to climb the odd mountain or two. When I’m not doing either you can catch me on your local dance floor – usually with with some kind of strobe in my playful hands.
In this video you can spot me, Steve and Rich ’chucking a few shapes’ [...]
