Loaded Knife single reviewed by Rough Trade

Here's what Rough Trade say about our new single:

ace new 7 from loaded knife. it's chopped up funk hop, like luke vibert hooked up to a malfunctioning 50's american juke box. the b-side features various samples of market traders from soho's, berwick st. interesting stuff indeed!

Blab Happy

Now on You Tube: my old band (1987-1993) performing Valentine, the track that got us a record deal. Thanks to Nick Clay from the fabulous Pink Noise, Hull's finest.

Os Mutantes

I've been lax in updating my blog, but I wanted to share with the world (and show off, basically) that last night I witnessed a historic moment - the first gig by Os Mutantes in 33 years. Arnaldo Baptista and Sergio were clad in doublets and hose. The performance at the Barbican, part of the Tropicalia festival, was witty, complex, proggy, psychededelic, uplifting. A privilege to be there.
