7:07 pm	Totally Acoustic at the Lamb, 10th of March (I think) This was an amazing gig! Me and Ian, who luckily (for me) could play because the volcano had cancelled his flight for the start of an american tour, arrived a bit early and dropped off the guitars in the function room upstairs in the pub before going to a different pub for what turned out to be a disappointing chip butty, when we got back, everyone had arrived. Sara, thinking we were on first (we weren't, we were on last, or "Headlining" as we artists like to call it" had already got a bit drunk. But everyone seemed to catch up, so that was ok :-) Totally Acoustic nights are just that, not even microphones, which is a great idea although it did lead to me spending quite a lot of time staring at my left hand when playing, because when you're in a well lit function room, with the lights on, and lovely people all sitting down, very close to you and clapping for your songs, when you start shouting at them about fucking the Manic Street Preachers, WHERE DO YOU LOOK! After watching MJ Hibbett play first, by himself ( he played (Insert Title Here) one of my favourites) I thought four guitars and a saw might be too much, but Superman Revenge Squad had a cello, so I stopped worrying about that. The entire set seemed to fly by, although I did miss out a song due to being a bit nervous about the whole thing, but I don't think anyone noticed. We got paid by Whipround, which is also a brilliant idea. I used the money to buy drinks for the band and someone came over and said "That was excellent. I wasn't going to come out tonight as I'm staying in hotel down the road, but I'm glad I did. I've given you the money I would have spent on the minibar and hotel porn!" So I expect his was the tenner. Here are some photos I stole from the internet Line up ---------------- Me - Acoustic Guitar with just the high strings from a 12 string guitar on and Singing Micky Ciccone - Acoustic Guitar and Singing David Barnett from The Famous Cocks - Acoustic Guitar and Singing Ian "Vulgar Display Of Power!" Catskilkin - Metal acoustic guitar like on the front of Brothers In Arms and solos Sara - Saw and Singing (Comment on this)
6:37 pm	Bloomsbury Bowling Alley, Cure Day, I can't remember the date. Again, not a proper gig, but this time I was playing the Bass for Mr Solo. This being a day dedicated to goths, I decided to goth up my shirt by writing on it in eyeliner. Eyeliner pencil, the fountain pen of the soul! I was only supposed to play one song, which we quickly rehearsed by singing the chords outside the gents. Just as we were going on stage, Mikey asked me if I fancied doing three songs instead. Which I had never heard. I had been drinking White Russians by then, so away we went. I think we did very well, I mean Mr Solo was brilliant obviously, and I don't think I dragged him down :-) Although one of the songs did only have two notes, and I did play one them wrong for the entire song due to the spaces between frets being much bigger on a bass than a guitar, but I think it actually added to the song so that's ok.

6:22 pm	The windmill. March, I can't remember the date. This was a party featuring lots of bands that have now split up. It wasn't a proper gig for my band, but featured a performance from THEFALLINGOVERS! one of my old bands. It went amazing well, the first 10 minutes of the set was spent figuring out hoe to get the drum machine to stop playing the bass, and then what speed it should play all the songs at. And then how to get it to stop playing the bass again. Me, Nicky and Matt all sang, and all in all, it was a triumph! Line up ------------ Me - Guitar and Singing Nicky Biscuit - Bass and Singing Matt Biscuit - Guitar and Singing Dr Beat - Drums (and the wrong bass bits) (Comment on this)

8:17 pm	The Camden Head 20/02/2010 My second gig there in the same week, This was a great gig. It was a bit hard to play the guitar, as I had a pretty infected finger, but it went ok, I did warn the front row they might get splashed, a bit like at Seaworld, if it decided to go at the wrong time. I decided to play a new song, that is normally a duet, and acoustic. I decided to play it singing all the bits myself, on electric guitar, and without telling the rest of the band how it went. I think it went great :-) Afterwards people described bits of the set as "Psychadelic" and "A bit like Bruce Springsteen" Which is pretty good going. I also realised that I can do as much messing around, playing songs the band don't know in the middle of the set as I like, as long as I finish with "I Hate Your Band" people will clap. The end of I Hate Your Band had a bit of a rant about the 80's revival where I rhymed La Roux with Ou Est Le Swimming Pool A lot of people seemed to think this was intentional, when I hadn't noticed. Obviously I claimed it was intentional too and was glad they noticed. I don't just throw these things together you know. All of the other bands playing had merchandise. I have none, so improvised. Apparently, people were asking about it, only to be told by the merch girls that it was a joke! I say £15 is £15. Outside afterwards, someone came up to me and said "I hope you don't mind me pointing this out but you remind me a lot of Half Man Half Biscuit" Obviously, I don't mind this at all, and is the second best compliment I've received outside The Camden Head after " Your band are amazing! They sound just like the Velvet Underground taking the piss" Line Up -------------- Me - Guitar & Singing Micky Ciccone - Guitar & singing Johnny Fade - Guitar Mike - Half a drum kit Sara - Saw Arec - Sax (Comment on this)
7:50 pm	17/02/2010 Camden Head The first of two gigs this week at the Camden Head. This was supporting Rebekah's first ever solo gig, and it was a great night. We were first on, so I started playing to a nearly empty room, but it soon started to fill up. I spent the whole of the first song thinking I was singing far too loudly before realising that because there weren't the usual load of electric guitars going on, I could hear myself singing in the monitor. I had to ask for it to be turned off as it was realIy distracting. Line up ---------- Me - Guitar & Singing Micky - Guitar & singing Sara - Saw Sue Denim - Violin Mike - Drums (Comment on this)

3:50 am	Buffalo Bar 12/02/2010 This was probably one of my favourite gigs ever. Despite sticking to my rule of "No Rehearsals" it seems that after recording the album, and playing gigs, everyone involved now knows the songs very well, which means we sounded amazing. People were getting up to play halfway through the set. Ian did some solos, Vessel arrived from a gig he'd been playing over the road to play some Ukulele, and A french horn player I'd met on Thursday got up for I Hate Your Band. I also played "Fuck You! I'm Keith Top Of The Pops" ove the P.A while setting up, completely forgetting how short it was, so it finished before we were done. But it sounded great :-) The whole thing was stupid amounts of fun. Here are some photos I stole off Facebook from "A Secret Picnic" The last band of the night was The New Royal Family. It was their last gig, which after a Baxendale tribute intro of "Music For Gays" going into "I.W.I.S.H.I.W.A.S.GAY!" they finished with a cover of Sid Vicious' version of My Way. It was ace, and also a bit sad. I love the New Royal Family. The band and the people, They are one of the very smal list of bands that I gave some of my otherwise VERY EXPENSIVE hit making skills and time to for nothing. I helped them make this (the music, not the ace video) and it's ace. I believe the venue sold out, which is a nice way to go I suppose. it was then dancing and drinking til 4am. Great night. Line Up ---------- Me - Guitar and Singing Micky Ciccone - Guitar David Barnett - Guitar and Singing Jasper Future - Guitar and Singing Ian Catskilkin - Guitar Charley Stone - Guitar and Singing Mikey - Drums Fruitbat - Bass and Singing Vessel - Ukulele Sara - Saw Arec - Sax Nathan - French Horn Foxy - Tambourine (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:23 pm	Album stuff It's sounding great :-) On sunday Jimbob, Eddie and Dyan came in to sing on it. Including Eddie and Jim doing improvised shouting about me for the end of my theme tune. Eddie also added a first take stylophone solo to "It's Slang" It's all coming along nicely :-) (1 Comment |Comment on this)
4:11 pm	The Windmill, New Years Eve 2009 I don't remember much about this gig due to getting there at 5 o'clock in order to beat the doubling of the taxi prices. we weren't playing til 1am Things I do remember are, The Indelicates and Black Daniel being amazing. Caroline bringing a banjo all the way from America to play in the band, and then leaving it at home. Being quite angry at thinking someone had stolen my guitar when I went to play, only to find out that a member of staff had "helpfully" moved it to a "safer" place without telling me. Glowbands Being quite happy when it turned out that my guitar had not been stolen. Being charged with looking after Marcus, who had never been to Brixton before, had no money, and was very drunk, and then losing him immediately. Mike playing the drums with only one stick due to repeatedly dropping them because he was drunk. The fact that I had a brass section. The Indelicates covering Paparazzi by Lady Gaga Simon's hat Dedicating a song to Adam on the door to make up for all the hassle from people going "Oh, it's sold out? Well, I've got a ticket, but the seven people with me haven't. Is that a problem?" It was a great night :-) Line-up --------------------- Me - Borrowed Guitar & Singing Fruitbat - Bass & Singing Mike Drums - Drums Simon Indelicate - Guitar, singing & Wearing a Totoro hat Johnny Fade - Guitar Julia Indelicate - Clarinet Bastian - Trumpet Arec - Sax Dave Fade - Guitar Sara - Saw x (Comment on this)

4:54 pm	The Windmill, 16/12/2009 with Ted Leo This was a gig I was doing mainly because Arec really wanted to see Ted Leo. Because Ted was doing a solo set I was asked to limit the amount of people in my band, which I honestly thought I had done until it was pointed out that there were still 7 of us. And that was after Charley and Jasper couldn't make it. Eddie had a flight to catch in the morning to do an Art Brut gig in Germany, so was just going to have the one drink and then leave. I think we actually left about 2am. Here's a video. It's one of the songs that the drummer had never heard before. It's a bit slow, and I forget the chords in the middle bit. It's still ace though :-) And I've just noticed the band name is wrong on that video, but I'm used to that by now :-) Lineup ----------- Me - Guitar & Singing Fruitbat - Guitar & Singing Simon Indelicate - Guitar & Singing Eddie Argos - Bass Stuffy - Drums Saw - Sara Arec - Sax (Comment on this)

5:53 pm	Guided Missile Christmas Party 12/12/2009 The lineup this time was smaller than usual, with only seven people due to various reasons, weddings, being on tour, being at festivals. This gig got of an excellent start due to me breaking a string during the first song. This was bound to happen eventually as I hadn't changed them since I bought the guitar two or three years ago. The reason for not changing them is because the guitar has a thing on it called a "Bigsby Wobble Bar" which looks very cool, but I never use, and it makes changing strings a fiddly nightmare. The other thing about guitars with "Bigsby Wobble Bars" is that as soon as one string breaks, all the others go MASSIVELY out of tune. After attempting the second song with the guitar out of tune, it was wisely suggested that I swap guitar with Dave, one of the lead guitar players, as you can play lead on a massively out of tune quite easily just by bending strings and playing notes in the wrong place. After swapping, things got much better. Johnny, who was playing drums, had never heard any of the songs before, which led to me playing "Two Of The Beatles" at double speed, and one of the others at half speed, but really I think he did an amazing job, even the bits where he forgot to play were good :-) There was a lot of swirly bending guitar solos ( I think I couldn't really hear anything on stage) and even some sort of fancy bass playing from David which was great even if it went against my long held belief that all bass guitars should only have two strings and five frets :-) Because it was the Guided Missile Christmas Party, I decided to do Lonely This Christmas by Mud, as it's the only Christmas song I know how to play. I simplified the chords to make it easier for the rest of the band, and even managed to remember most of the speech in the middle :-) Also because it was a christmas song, I got to wear my black santa hat with Bah Humbug written on the front :-) There's a video somewhere, filmed by pro film maker Aug Stone, which I'm told has some spinning camera shots involved. But until then, have a photo. Afterwards, when I was asking people how it sounded, the most popular answer was "Very loud" :-) Quite a lot of people came up to me to say they enjoyed it, which is always good :-) All in all, an excellent night, even if I did manage to come home with a ladies red coat instead of my crushed velvet jacket, but it's still at the Buffalo Bar, so that's ok :-) Line Up --------------- Me - Guitar and Singing Simon Indelicate - Guitar David NRF - Bass Guitar Dave Fade - Guitar and Singing Micky Ciccone - Guitar Julia Indelicate - Clarinet Johnny MeMyHead - Making up drum beats.

10:24 am	The Buffalo Bar 10/10/2009 I can remember virtually nothing about this gig except for two facts. Fact One. My band were amazing. I mean actually great. Even the two new songs we played that half of them hadn't heard before went amazingly well. Quite a lot of people turned up a bit late thanks to the Victoria Line being the worst thing ever invented and seemingly opening and closing whenever the hell it feels like. I also thought we were going to run out of time due to going on first, so played quite quickly. Which means we got to play all the old songs, AND the new ones in a quite spritely 20 minutes or so. Time flies when you're having fun :-). But still, we were great. And it was great fun, even if Paul did run out of patience writing the band name on the board. Fact Two. Glam Chops played, and were probably the best I've ever seen them (and I'm guessing I've seen them more often than most) they were great. Actual harmonies at the end. I think they even surprised themselves :-) Lineup ------------ Me - Guitar & Singing Adie Nunn - Guitar Charley Stone - Guitar David NRF - Guitar & Singing Fruitbat - Acoustic Guitar & Singing Vessel - Guitar & Singing Eddie Argos - Bass Sara - Saw Sue Denim - Violin Mike Brut - Drums Arec - Sax (Comment on this)

11:18 pm	Camden Head, Micky's Birthday, 04/09/2009 my fourth night in five at the Camden head. This gig was for micky's birthday and was acoustic. Once again, I am the only band to actually do it acoustic, with everyone else plugging in. All of the other bands playing live in my house, so I don't mind. It does however mean I WIN! It was great :-) There were party poppers on the tables and a good time was had by all. we couldn't fit on the stage, Dee on Bass had never heard the songs before, I lost my keys, and my night ended at a club that only played power ballads. Can't go wrong with that. Line up ----------------- Me - 12 String Acoustic Guitar and Singing Richie Abdou - Acoustic Guitar Adie Nunn - Acoustic Guitar Micky Ciccone - Acoustic Guitar Sue Denim - Violin Dee Plume - Acoustic Bass Gypsy - Melodica Sara - Saw Arec - Sax (Comment on this)
11:03 pm	Adie's Brthday, Camden Head, 03/09/2009 Not my gig, but a gig I played at. It was Adie Nunns birthday, so Steve 586, Arec and myself played as The johnny Dean Players. our set consisted entirely of britpop covers, with no rehearsal and the ones that weren't already deeply ingrained in our indie consciousness being played straight out of The Big Britpop Guitar Chord Songbook. Or as I like to call it "The Bible" It was also the longest gig I've ever played, over an hour. Which considering we didn't finish that many of the songs, and skipped bits in others, is quite an achievement, As far as I can remember we played, Connection - Elastica Babies - Pulp Daydreamer - Menswear 12 Reasons Why - My Life Story Getting Better - Shed Seven Slight Return- Bluetones Live Forever - Oasis Tatva - Kula Shaker Brimful of Asha - Cornershop On And On - Longpigs For Tomorrow - Blur Killing Of A Flash Boy - Suede inbetweener - Sleeper Solid gold I'm sure you'll agree. we didn't have a drummer, so various people filled in. We started off taking song requests and quickly moved on to people requesting if they could play drums or bass. and guest singers. This is a photo Ewan took of us doing the My Life Story one. And playing Live Forever was great, it reminded me of being 14 again :-) It was amazing. Line up --------------- Steve 586 - Singing, Acoustic Guitar, a bit of drums Arec - Bass & Singing Me - Loud Electric Guitar James Jam - Drums A Girl I Don't Know - Drums A Man I Don't Know - Drums Another Man I Don't Know - Drums The Same "Another Man I Don't Know - Bass Jo Bevan - Guest Singing Eddie Argos - Guest Singing (Comment on this)

6:41 pm	Flowerpot, Kentish Town, 19/08/09 This gig got off to an amazing start when Arec and I arrived in Lesser Camden at 4 o'clock to drop of the amps, only to find that there was free booze for the band. We then made an effort to drink lots of it before the rest of the band arrived. I also soundchecked, which I usually NEVER do as find it all a bit pointless when none of the amps need micing up and only two people are there. This time I did it because the soundman just looked so put out at having nothing to do. It was actually quite lucky as I found out my amp didn't work, and it was only vocals and one guitar, so not too bad. and I got to rock out As we were sitting in the beer garden waiting for the rest of the band, as always happens, the texts started to come in from band members who couldn't make it. Now I don't actually mind this, as I've done it with just me and Mike Drums before and it's really the whole point of the band to be a different lineup every time depending on who can make it, but it still panics me slightly for a second when the messages come in. Then I remember that there will probably still be about 8 of us and it's fine :-) The gig itself was great :-) There was a version of Love is Lethal without James, so with an extra chorus, a missing bridge, and the guitar solo in a different place. It still sounded great though:-) I'd told Steve 586 that if he came to the gig we would cover Daydreamer by Menswe@r, with him singing. a fact I told the band about 30 minutes before they went on which lead to a lot of them outside practicing their D minor chords and trying to remember where the stops were. I think Arec played the bass line to it on the Bassoon That went great too :-) My mind went totally blank at the end of I Hate Your Band (which it often does) causing me to just ramble about bands, and I think call Radiohead "ungrateful motherfuckers!" it was ace though :-) "Fuck the MSP" was also great with Arec seamlessly blending the riff from Rio by Duran Duran into the outro. After the gig Charley found out she had bled all over her guitar without noticing, due to the rock. I've also promised to write a song called "Channel Of Rock" for her, for which I shall rip off Dire Straits "Tunnel Of Love" That'll be great too :-) Sara's mum and dad came to watch her play the saw, I could tell they were very proud of the saw solo :-) And David even made it to work only 5 minutes late after we went on half an hour later than I thought. So, a great night all round really :-) Lineup ------------------------ Me - Guitar & Singing David Barnett - Guitar & Singing Charley Stone - Guitar & Bleeding Adie Nunn - Guitar & Singing Fruitbat - Bass Jen New Royal Family - Drums Naomi - Bassoon Sara - Saw Arec - Sax & Bassoon Steve 586 - Daydreaming (Comment on this)

1:31 pm	Buffalo Bar 08/08/2009 Another trip to the Buffalo Bar. Which means another amazing gig :-) I was at a barbecue earlier in the day, so was already pretty drunk when I got there, but as we were on first, it didn't really matter. After phoning Arec 3 times to see where he was, only for him to keep hanging up because he was stood about 5 metres away it was time to play. Arec taking his microphone into the crowd without me noticing, and confusing me with his voice through the speakers when I couldn't see him. It's become a bit of a tradition, that only applies to me, for me to cover a song by one of the bands that make up my band at each gig. Tonight we did two :-) The first one was The New Royal Family's "That Girl Has Got It" Which went amazingly well, if you saw us the last time we tried to play it, then you could say it went incredibly amazingly well :-) David was singing and playing the bass both times, this time he was sober. see Maybe it was that, or maybe it was because half of The New Royal Family were in the band this time. Who knows:-) I then did Two Of The Beatles Are Dead, which after realising that the chords are exactly the same as Faithlift by Half Man Half Biscuit, now has the "Sing Hossana" refrain nicked from that song with a subtle change from "The jazz fans are all going home" to "The Florence fans are all going home" It worked pretty well, but then plagiarism usually does. Then, because two of them were in the band, (here's a picture of Foz? watching my hands to play the songs, as I didn't know he was playing before I got there) we covered "One Thing After Another" by David Devant & His Spirit Wife, which is pretty much my favourite of their songs. Now, this is a song that normally I could sing backwards, but once on stage I couldn't remember a word of it, which meant I had to keep nipping to the back of the stage to ask Vessel how each verse started. I'm pretty sure no one noticed though (Though obviously, I'm lying to myself there) But once we hit the chorus it all seemed to take off and became amazing :-) Singing this song, especially the ending bits was probably my favourite bit of the night and considering that nobody on stage who wasn't in David Devant and His Spirit Wife had any idea how it went, it was pretty great :-) Special mention to Charley Stone's soloing again, this time she played the guitar with her feet, and it STILL sounded ace :-) There was a bassoon solo too from Naomi. I don't think anyone could hear it, but it was there :-) Also special thanks to Jen, who had not heard ANY of the songs before, there are myspace versions, but they are totally different, therefore totally useless to learn drums from as they're all about a third of the tempo of the live versions, but still did an amazing job drumming :-) Then it was Dream Themes, an amazing gig from Devant, and magic from Magic Ben All in all, loads of fun :-) Lineup ------------------ Me - Guitar & Singing David Barnett - Bass & Singing Adie Nunn - Guitar & Singing Vessel- Acoustic Guitar & Singing Foz? - Guitar Charley Stone - Guitar & Singing Naomi - Bassoon Arec - Sax Jen NRF - Drums Paul Guided Missile - Keyboards (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:34 pm	Brixton Windmill 25/07/2009 This was a gig that I said I'd do ages ago, then never heard back until another band put me in their facebook event for it the day before. I started the day off at a school reunion, then a stag do, then off to the gig only to find that TWO of the bands had cancelled. One due to "Swine Flu" and one because their tour manager had got massively drunk the night before and overslept causing them to miss their ferry and so they were stuck on a later one. This was only a problem as one of them was my drummer :-) So that, coupled with people playing festivals, and various other things, meant that tonights band only had three people in it Despite this, we were amazing :-) Special mentions to Charley's guitar solos which were great, and to how weird it was to actually be able to hear myself singing. we were pretty in time considering the lack of drums :-) I also realised which Half Man Half Biscuit song one of my songs sounds like, and since I've not really written a proper ending to it I might steal theirs. Line up ----------- Me - Guitar and Singing Charley Stone - Guitar and Singing Fruitbat - Bass and Singing (2 Comments |Comment on this)
12:27 pm	Indelicates book launch, 22/07/2009 This was a special acoustic performance in a pub called The Old Crown, which just to confuse matters is practically next door to a pub called The Crown. There was even more confusion when I turned up with 6 acoustic guitars only to be told that there was a comedy night booked. After explaining to the Barman, that no, he didn't have a a comedy night booked but it was in fact a book launch with poets and musicians he asked "So, is it a sort of music and comedy thing?" I don't think he understood. The night was to launch The Indelicates book of poetry and lyrics, which is ace and you should buy here www.indelicates.com/shop So the night was split between poetry and bands. The room was full, so after listening to a bit of poetry from the hallway, made all the harder by poets seeming to have aversions to microphones, I went downstairs to the bar to wait for the Indelicates to play. Their gig was great, just Simon & Julia on acoustic guitar and piano, until Simon broke a string and borrowed my little pink guitar with a built in amp, allowing him to rock out, albeit quietly :-) My gig went great as well, with Simon swapping to piano half way through to do what I called jazz solos, but probably weren't. The duet between me and James was great, especially as the band has heard it enough times now to at least have learnt a bit of it each :-) And I Hate Your Band with special section devoted to Mercury award nominees. I might do more acoustic ones as they're always fun. Eddie got to play his first bass solo and I think it went very well, although I don't know if anyone could hear it :-) Line up ------------- Me - 12 string acoustic guitar & Singing Jasper Future - Acoustic Guitar & Singing James Rocks - Acoustic Guitar and Singing Micky Ciccone - Acoustic Guitar and Singing Simon Indelicate - Piano Julia Indelicate - Little pink guitar Eddie Argos - Bass Arec - Sax Girl in the audience - Tambourine (5 Comments |Comment on this)
12:21 pm	Buffalo Bar 21/07/2009 I love playing the Buffalo Bar. Especially as they are one of the few places that put the whole band name on the board :-) Tonight is Paul Guided Missile's debut on the keyboards. Because it's his first time in the band, I break with tradition and allow him a quick soundcheck, which consists of him playing me three keyboard sounds and me picking the second one. Here is a picture of him rocking out. The gig itself was ace :-) Although think I may have insulted the rest of the bands by introducing "I Hate Your Band" with "If your in a band and not on this stage, I probably hate you!" but they didn't seem to mind. There was then a lock in, which resulted in me drinking far too much bubblegum vodka with special celebrity guest Mick Jagger.
