This is sort of a heads-up link to the Upcoming Gigs thread, but Stoatie, Lilly Nowehere and I will be at Corsica Studios in London on Wednesday 2nd May 2007 for the Bobby Conn & The Glass Gypsies show I've been involved with co-organising. Owlls will be playing too, and MC Stoatie will be wearing a suit and telling jokes.

It's also a potential venue for the future Barbegig, as and when that happens, and an excellent venue under the railway arches.

So is anyone likely to come to this?

Pink Grease will be playing too, now.

I was thinking I might well come along, but.... er, I don't think I'll be able to unfortunately. I have other stuff I have to do that evening.

Ah, that's a real shame. The next time though, I hope.

Here's a flyer image for those who would like to see one though:

It's tonight, kids!

I'm feeling rough as a badger's arse and fairly depressed, and I'm STILL going! And STILL telling jokes.

What's your excuse?

Stoats, if you can tell me circa when you're gonna be MCing, I might pay just to go see that. I'm very close to Corsica anyway. Haven't really heard (of) any of the acts but Bobby C. And, it says 8 on the flyer. How precise would that be?

It'd be great to see you there, Mos Nolte. MC Stoatie will be in effect between every act, so from roughly 8.30pm onwards, about every hour or so. Then we can do a little dance afterwards while I play some records. It's much more of an event than a standard gig - or that's the plan.

Pink Grease are very entertaining live, in a stagey kinda glamtastic way. Owlls are awesome - check the link for some recorded output, but imagine tropical pirates with a love for big riffs and stomping rhythms. Rosie Meres does burlesque with a comic twist, involving woodland animals. Bobby should be on top form if last week's Bush Hall show is anything to go by.

Wow. That was quite a night. Unfortunately I ended up jettisoning a lot of the jokes I had planed for the later acts as by that time I was far too drunk to tell them.

Owlls were fucking awesome, but could have benefited from more people turning up early, Pink Grease were their usual great party band selves, Rose's cuddly-toy burlesque antics were really quite something, and Bobby et al rocked the fucking house.

Splendid stuff.

I couldn't stop looking at the hair-dos of the Pink Grease'rs. They should be megastars on that account alone. The platinum blonde shoulder-length assymetric fringe singer's, the guitarist's perfect latte mike, and the fluffiest hair I've seen outside a 70's glam-video on the bass-player. Plus his eyes, his eyes man... But they fucking rokkkkked.

At one stage I saw the quirkiest line of peeps for a long time - from back to front: some bloke in his sixties in off-white khakis and nicely pressed shirt, another bloke with perfect dreads almost touching his derriere, a stoat grinning like a madman and all the way upfront Django looking very very pleased.

A whale of a time was had! Plus I shook hands with barberoyalty! I won't wash for a week, now...
