Farewell to the Crops

Fantastic session from Electricity in Our Home son the first Hello Goodbye show after the summer break today - go and see them supporting Wire at the Scala on Monday if you can.
Great night at the Enterprise for the Crops swansong, T-Lo's birthday bash and the launch of 'The Beast Must Die', with a brilliant performance from the Great Blondini, who is best described as Tommy Cooper meets Roger Melly. Sterling work on the wheels of steel from the Wild Man too. A very enjoyable night all round in fact and good to see so many old faces, including all three Heave bassists! Not feeling sad to have finished, but pleased to have gone out on a high note, rather than a bum note (though there were a few of those too!). Off to Greece now for a week of well earned relaxation!

Que la bête meure

Final ever Crops rehearsal last night, which went worringly well...hopefully not a bad omen. Tomoland was in attendance to document the historic and rare tri-blogged occasion, and Jolly came along for a private view as he'll be in Wales tomorrow. Picked up copies of the album today...Smell the Glove is here! Come and get one for free tomorrow night at the Enterprise in Haverstock Hill!

Sit on it, Little Dorrit

Another Crops rehearsal last night - more work to do before the 6th but we're getting there. The LP has now been retitled 'The Beast Must Die' and will feature The Wenhaston Doom on the cover. Went off to Ilisa's birthday knees-up afterwards, where there was a rather disturbing outbreak of fonzing. The BBC are filming some of Little Dorrit at my work and the squirrels are feasting on the sandwiches discarded by the picky spoilt Victorian extras.
