I wanna go where the people go yeah......(getting ones sh*t together)


Morning all. It has been 4 months, and what a four months. In Feb our great friends Jonny Lives! from NYC came over to play with the inevitable pinhole burns. Apart from an aborted trip to Guernsey due to fog which we were gutted about, we played 3 great shows with them and shared a million great stories. They must be checked out at www.jonnylives.com . We are in the process of booking a trip out to LA to play with them. Jonny Dubowsky, Marco Argiro, Claudio Rochat-Felix and Brian Boland are all musicians of pedigree and have played with members of Pearl Jam, The Pixies, The Ramones (yes really) and The Fugees to name but a very few. Together they are the greatest live rock band that you can see where the lead guitarist doesn't wear a school uniform. IPHB have also been playing with the fades. The fades are a garage band the now sound like a british kyuss in the best possible way. We supported them at their sold out single launch for the amazing Mechanno. We are supporting them again this thursday at The Monarch in Camden with Abdoujaperov. It will be ace fun. I will be debuting my new custom shop 355. We are also touring with the fades later in the year. The pin holes go into the studio the weekend after next with Lamik 2000 of Black Daniel, Medicine 8 and Trashmouth. We intend to record four new tracks. Two will be The August Disturbances and Controlled Tailspin the other two don't have names. Dates: 17th May Monarch Camden 25th May The Garage, Highbury 16th June Suraya Club, Kings Cross (My Birthday) 7th July Road Trip, Old Street The French Electric are going great guns, singer Simon has found his feet totally, this is his first band. We are getting picked up all over the world as far away as Russia and Alaska. Some great new songs and a new Human League cover too! Very exciting. If you haven't already got the album it is here! www.thefrenchelectric.com there is a new blog up here too. Dates: 6th July, The Undersolo , Inverness Street, Camden. NOW....click this link..... http://www.btinternet.com/~rhesus/review.htm A long long time ago..... 15 broken drum kits, three smashed custom guitars, two singles, 3 bass players, 2 drummers, 1 near bankruptcy,numerous nervous/ physical/ financial breakdowns and 100 brutal gigs lead to eventual demise of Rhesus, and very nearly me. A few months ago all four members of the final rhesus line up, and a few of the passed ones ended up drinking too much at a french electric gig, we have decided to reform for a one off gig at Gracetonbury at the windmill, Sat 23rd June. We are on at 6pm. (or very early) Please please come. Up in his attic, Wayne found a load of un mixed rhesus recordings that he is going to mix and we will put out later this year. Finally a reminder! My birthday party is at the Suraya Kings cross on Sat 16th July. Entry is free Line up is The Inevitable Pinhole Burns (First on) Rebekah Delgado Generals Wife Keith TOTP The Microdance The Fades Looking forward to it. But for now, a cup of tea. Waking Michelle up and we off to the london pet show. Maximum Rock and Roll.

Its 10 in the morning, at the start of December, I'm writing you now...

Morning all, After a fairly quiet November, one excellent gig by The French Electric not withstanding, December is kicking off nicely .

Next Thursday , 15th Of December, the inevitable pinhole burns are playing at Tom Banks and Tom Cavanaghs club night at the Amersham Arms in New Cross. Having played there in Rhesus with S*M*A*S*H and on bass for Black Daniel I am really looking forward to getting on the excellent stage.

THEN.

New Years Eve. In the passed I have always objected to gigging on new years eve. This year, however The Inevitable Pinhole Burns have been asked to support the amazing David Devant and his Spirit Wife at The 100 Club. Oxford Street. (That is number 100 Oxford Street). We have £10 cheap list. That is £10 to see David Devant @ The 100 Club on New Years Eve.

Get in touch.

THEN....The Angry Bees are back, its a one off , it is the Buffalo Bar, Steven Horry and Myself are re assembling our noise rock devil group. Leona Lewis has just released a cover of NIN Hurt. This is terrible. Venues will be empty tonight because it is the Xfactor. Colplay are still making records. The world needs us more now than it ever did.

THEN. On the 9th Of January, The IPHB and Entourage are heading to the Mountains of Austria to play at Weekender Club in Innsbuck for their Student night.

More to come from The French Electric, including the best album title ever.

The Inevitable Pinhole Burns are writing album number two. It will be heavier and darker.

I am annoyed by any trustifarians who are able to be at the occupy camp because their because their parents benefitted from Thatcherism in the 80's so they don't have to work for a living. That is hypocrisy not protest. I am just saying what I see. I don't know enough about the financial crisis to pass proper judgement on anyone so I won't.

People can STILL download our album for free from here.

T shirts are coming, they are going to look great.

I saw two major gigs in November, Carter USM and The Sisters Of Mercy. It was 1991 and it was amazing.

Now I am off to ASDA to by a Christmas Tree.
