In Absentia

…after taking my cold/man flu out to that gig at the Crown on Thurs’ night I had nothing left in the tank to take part in this….

 

…sorry guys, I know you were relying on my photo journalistic “skills” for promoting the album…

..in lieu of turning up I thought I’d share this pic’ of Callum thinking about what to write down as he listens to the rough mix instore @ Too Tone…

…and this pic’ of Callum writing the stuff he thought of down instore @ Too Tone…

…and this pic’ of Seedy thinking about how many pages of stuff Callum is going to write down whilst he is instore across the road at the New World Supermarket….

 

…and this picture of a starfish because Met’ lives in Invercargill and that is too far to go for a pic’ of him thinking and/or writing stuff down….

….buy this….

….CD avail’ at Too Tone…

…or….

…support the vinyl campaign here…

…and don’t go out late on a week day if you have a CD release to attend.

Good Feastock

…good view….

…good crew…

 

…good video monitoring….

…good food…

…good chill out zone…(right next to the generator…the humming noise is very comforting in an enclosed space…)….

….good mini bar in the chill out zone…(Feastock-innovation of the year award goes to….)

…good night.

 

….oh!…and our heart felt thanks to all of you that entered the Roxy-dog cosplay competition….stupendous effort guys, but the winner is…..

I Think I Was At Sammy’s

…to see my good friend Dee’s musical collective, Tiny Pieces Of Eight, perform…

…and perform they did…from free noise to country to funk to wall-of-sound-folk-a-delica…

…they sound awesome, go see ’em…

…then I went thru this door here…

 

…and found way too much beer…

…of course Mr H. was the only thing in focus after awhile…

…sometimes, no matter how messed up you get, you push the button and it works…

…and sometimes…

 

 

 

…not so much…

…thank you for another wonderfully boozy night, LoR…

…my head hurts.

Feastock 2014 Ate My Homework

…after selling all the tickets of Feastock 2014…

 

…I attended…

 

…Seedy had chewed his nails so far down that he had to switch to pineapple lumps…

 

..Crispy appeared to be filming blind…

 

…and Callum was behind the stacks practicing his “thank-yous” announcement…

 

…well practiced he was, thanking Too Tone 3 times in the course of his speech….(did I make too much fuss about being left out last year?)….

…to shorten the toilet queues, security were directing the lads to this oasis of alternative utrination…

 

 

…mmmm….sulubrious….

…you guys might want to not encourage that next year…the puddle was getting hard to negotiate (with) by the end of the event…

 

 

 

…and don’t tell any one how shitfaced, Dee and AJ were….

 

 

…as per-ususal my Feastock ends in a hazy red blur for another year.

…the authorities have all the photographic evidence, they know who you are.

 

…(it is taking ages too get over the excesses of saturday..normal transmission may never be resumed).
