Thanks to everyone who came to Cafe 1001 last night to watch us being filmed eating apples, drinking port, dancing suggestively with a balloon sword and attempting to play the new material we’ve written.  Unfortunately a series of unfortunate events made it an… Interesting show!  With a two hour delay to the start due to problems with the venue’s equipment, it didn’t bode well, but add to that Jim’s effects board ceasing to work mere hours after it was behaving perfectly, problems with Luke’s amp and no monitor sounds meaning we could barely work out which song we were supposed to be playing, and once again the world of live instrumentation has one up on us!

Alas, these things happen, and we’d just like to say sorry to all those in attendance, we always want to give everything to our live shows, so we’re as disappointed as yourselves when we’re not able to, but to add to the facepalm… It was all recorded!  Who knows if it’ll even make it to air, but if you fancy yourself a bit of car crash TV, then turn off your Jeremy Kyle and click on this link!

For those who like their music streamy, free and interlaced with Canadian voiceovers talking about summer houses, you can listen to Bear At The Bus Stop on Spotify right now!

Also, I’m totally addicted to other people’s playlists on Spotify at the moment, so bring it on.

Luminescence is on Spotify now, so if like me you’re over familiar with Iggy Pop’s shitty car insurance adverts, FCUK’s thing about a man and those ragingly shit Shockwaves ads, you can stream the tracks totally for free.

I’m listening to Neutral Milk Hotel‘s On Avery Island on Spotify right now, in fact.
