Wired For Sound - 20.10.2017

Bit of an odd night really. My absence for three months obviously hadn't really made much of a difference to the local scene, but luckily, the usual loyal bods blessed the night with their presence, and for that I'm eternally grateful. I even managed to play all the allotted new music I was hoping for, as well as quite a bit more dance/industrial I'd planned, even if the key audience we're in attendance and that I lost nearly an hours worth of playing time with the pub closing a tad earlier than usual, but shit happens I guess!

So, as life hopefully seems to be getting back to some kind of normality (although whether this is in fact a good thing!) I'll be back on Friday 17th November, with the mad DJ Uncle Filthy back in the guest chair for another round-up of all that is alternative, where we hope to see more of you!

Rising From The Gregg 2 22.7.2017

Brilliant tribute night and great to catch up with friends, and all in the good cause of remembering our friend Gregg Herbert, and for the worthy cause for the Luton Cat Welfare, and with my lack of compassion for humans at this time, it couldn’t of been more appropriate! I’m proud to hear we managed to raise £530 for the charity, and not a single halo was polished in the process!!
Spent the first part of the night at The Hat Factory seeing Luton band ‘Dinges’ again, and one of my past favourites from the local scene ‘Rogue’ blasting out their political terror to the masses. Headlining, where Psychobilly band ‘Mystery Action’ whom entertained us with an interesting variety of Cramps songs and the like which certainly kept me entertained!

Following this, I headed over to The George 2nd and was eventually allowed to set up and start my own tribute set, which tbh, just caught the crowd in time. So the beer flowed, the music cranked and a great night was had by all in support, and I was proud to be part of the night.

In The Cruel Garden of Dark Delights 21.7.2017

Ok, so my apologies first that this blog is as late as it is. Unfortunately, my problems with the Department of Worthless Parasites states that I’m basically not allowed to volunteer my services to entertain my friends whilst claiming, so make of that what you will, but I'm fed up with putting my life on hold for these bastards, so fuck it - time to continue entertaining. So we soldier on against ‘the man’ maybe a tad more paranoid and a lot less trusting, but let's hope common sense prevails, although let’s not hold our breath!!

So, with the night in question being my 15th anniversary of playing for in Luton, obviously I was hoping for a tad more support from friends I’ve made from over the years, but again, the vale of summer and planning nights in July don’t usually hold out much hope which is why I don’t usually bother. Still, I was glad t have the company of those that did support, and of course, my trusted sidekick DJ Unclefilthy, whom never fails to entertain even at my lowest ebb. And in reality, did goad me into doing the night in the first place!! So, fun was had, regardless that I really didn’t want to be out in public with the possibility that big brother (or some cunt) was out their watching my every move!!
