This is a marvelous opportunity to star in the upcoming music video for the Neon Highwire song “Bear At The Bus Stop” (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/bear-at-the-bus-stop/id384570605?i=384570611).

We will be sorting out both the bear and the bus stop (and filming), but what we need from you is the visually weird and wonderful. Essentially, anything that doesn’t involve bears, bus stops or general bus stop attire is what we’re …looking for and we need as many people as possible to help out. Be who you want to be, do what you want to do, just do it on Saturday 25th September in London in front of a camera.

Bit vague, right? Well yes, intentionally so! To give you some ideas of the some examples that come to mind, we’re talking:

Dressing up as pirates and swordfighting.
A game of chess on a portable fold out table.
Look good in a tux? Strut!
Aerobics
Eating a cake with your bare (not bear) hands

As a thank you to all those who take part, there will be a thing afterwards with free beer, and everyone loves free beer, even bears.

Come along! Bring your friends! Jebus!

The Neon Goblins have been beavering away to create this cinematic masterpiece for your audiovisual delectation.  Ever wanted to record vocals to a professional quality* in your own home?  Then look no further than this informative videos from the people that brought you “Sustain This” and “Votergeddon”.

*professional butcher/milliner.

What are your plans for this Thursday?  If they’re not dancing like a shitlollipop at Vibe Bar, Brick Lane then I feel sorry for you son, I’ve got 99 synthlines and Funky Town ain’t won.

If you need any more incentive, check out this video ++ on the Youtubes.  It’s all about the straw polls, and mine does look like a straw poll, unfortunately.

With the general erection looming over us like Burt Reynolds in a cock-shaped bi-plane, we realised that it was time to get political. FEAR NOT: we have not turned into soul destroying, hypocritical fuckwarts like U2 or that hairy one off live aid, but hopefully you may just learn something about the world we live in.
The first video “sustain this” is jam-packed with juicy shizzle to lather you up into a political and panda-shaped frenzy. Why not see for yourself, here:

Many people have emailed me lately and said

“Steve, I really want to own a horse, but don’t have the space for it in my London based tower block flat.  Can horses fly?”

The answer is no, horses cannot fly.

THIS FRIDAY!

Moving on, we’ve got a STONKER (meow) of a gig coming up Friday at the triple A battery Powers bar in Kilburn run by the super fantastic lake of ice cream No Fiction.  It’s free entry, has AWESOME DJs, two incredible bands known for great music and live shows (HEY, ONE OF THOSE IS US! WODYAKNOW!), and loads of drink offers a n d  t h e  l i k e c==3

Luminescence

Buy it from Amazon, iTunes, Indiestore, Amie Street and a bunch of others like Napster and Myspace Music and Rhapsody too.  Buy multiple copies then come see us live and buy some more.  I’ll sign anything that moves.  Make new friends, buy them the CDs.  Things you can use the CD for:

Playing music.

Yeah, you thought that was gonna be one of my awesome lists, but it wasn’t. Deal.

Video

I bought a video camera, yeah, big deal.  We’re gonna start filming stuff.  Music videos are lame, we have much better ideas than that, what we need now are crowns.  Anyway, we’ve got a Youtube channel at this place which also has a link to us playing our extended edit of Akira! at 93 Feet East.

Other Stuff

There’s a load of other new stuff in the pipeline, but figure rather than just blabbering on about it, we’ll get it all confirmed and fit for consumption first.  So be patient and keep checking www.neonhighwire.com.

Few gigs coming up, but can’t reveal details on all yet till they’re confirmed.  Probably playing in Brighton on March 19th though, which will be nice.
