It was 25 years ago minus one week...

AVAILABLE SOON IN TWO EDITIONS... CLICK THE PICTURE!

The stage where you wonder why you started...

... but I'll see it through. 

Shooting for June to have it available.

THE AGE OLD QUANDARY!

As you likely know by now, I’m about to mark the 40^th anniversary of NBT with a print edition of the zine and also a single by The Dahlmanns. I’ll put details on here about how you can get these direct from me. I hope that they'll also be available from discerning stores and mail order outlets. That’s something I need to look into after everything is being printed and manufactured.

Does anybody know of places that distribute zines anymore? The old network as I knew it is long gone. This is the point where I’m thinking, why the hell did I think this was a good idea. However, it’s done and I do want to mark the auspicious occasion for having been doing this for two thirds of my existence.

So that’s where I’m at. Whaddaya reckon?

I MISSED A DAY...

Got distracted. Eric was on Marc Riley's show...

Just what you need to hear...

Thanks to Iain for flagging it up!

It's a CheeseBergen kind of a day...

Anything that resembles a metallic Ze Malibu Kids has to be worth a shot, right?

It's Wednesday Already!

In my hundred or so years of going to shows, the Wreckless Eric gig in Edinburgh on Sunday past was a peculiar one.

There were more people there than the limited pre-publicity might have suggested. However, one song in, this guy that looked like Jesus (the bible guy, not anybody Spanish) walked up and asked Eric to turn down his amp because “we can’t hear your words”. Never backward at coming forward, the seasoned performer sent him away with something of a flea in his ear. The arsehole was with three other individuals that were severely lacking in concert etiquette.

A wee bit later in a quiet transition where something wasn’t quite over, another diddy wanders up to him and asks if he’d play “Veronica”. Another small insect was dispatched in the offenders hearing gear. An update to this was Eric receiving a message from the ‘ronica guy suggesting that our man was 'very rude'. Actually he should consider himself lucky. I think that his actions warranted a far more caustic response. With a swift boot up the arse following in close succession.

Being something of a daftie magnet, Eric is well versed in dealing with such behaviour. He’s dealt with all sorts over the years he told me but really, I’ve never seen anything do fundamentally stupid as the actions of these fools. It almost makes these fuckwits that experience concerts through tablets and phones as being socially aware.

WEIRDO! BAR doesn't open on a TUESDAY but anyway...

The Day before Dos De Mayo...

... is a quiet one. All roads lead to the Glad Café in Glasgow tonight. Eventually. Here are some terriblr phone camera images from last night in Edinburgh.

MAYDAY (TOMORROW)!

So how about that? I've posted something every day in April. Sure, it wasn’t more than a video or show dates but at least there was something fresh to look at. Will this momentum be kept up through May? 

The endeavour is half the battle, for now at least.

There was a great turnout at Messer Chups in Glasgow tonight. They're playing a much more agreeable space tonight at The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh. I shall be across town at The Citrus Club with Sir Eric of Wreckless. and tomorrow at The Glad Cafe in Glasgow.

Tonight is the BILLY MILLER FOREVER remembrance shindig. I'm sad not to be able to attend but I'll be well represented. There's gonna be an enormous amount of LOVE in that room. 

If like me, you can't go then maybe you'd like to donate to one of the two causes that there are links to on the website. 

Folks have asked if there was such a facility. Yes There Is.

AIN'T IT JUST...

TONIGHT ON TRES CRUCES, MADRID! THE QUATTROS AT WURLITZER!!
