Here’s a picture that someone Jake knows took:
Frente – Bizarre Love Triangle
This is a beautiful version of the New Order song, which I prefer to the original:
The Elf has a keyboard blog at Andertons
A friend of mine who likes to call himself ‘The Elf’ has started blogging about keyboard-related matters at andertons.co.uk (a good UK music shop and website that I buy from quite a bit). Here’s his first post.
(Doesn’t look like he has his own account there yet, he’s had his first post put up via another poster there — hope they sort out the presentation. The general keyboard blog is here, but it mostly seems to be product release bumpf).
Maze gig report
We had great fun at The Maze last week. We went down really well even with a crowd predominantly there to see some very different bands. Fat Goth were terrific, they had a spellbinding drummer. Dick Venom and the Terrortones put on a raucous show, Dick is a great frontman who literally throws himself into it, he has to be seen to be believed. Dick and Wrex are great characters, no wonder they’re psychobilly legends. Nice also to see Apart from the Noise and Blind Thieves too.
My keyboard kept jumping patches for some reason. Might have been the huge bass and kick drum coming through the floorboards — need to get a more solid stand!

Dick Venom and the Terrortones — ‘Sticky Pants Trance’
Howling mad rock’n'roll from Dick Venom and his band — come and check them out this Friday at The Maze (and us!):
Maze gig start time
We’ll be on second, around 9pm. (These start times are not set in stone, it depends on how smoothly the set-up goes and whether technical problems arise, but it should be around then, certainly not any earlier).
There’s 5 bands now, including one of the hottest rock bands in the country, and the most notorious live act in town, so it’ll be a great night for a ludicrously small amount of money (£4 on the door). Doors open: 8pm. Date: Friday May 3, 2013. Venue: The Maze, 257 Mansfield Road, Nottingham, NG1 3FT.
