Exterminate All Rational Thought - 17.11.2017

As promised, another plethora on board the sexual ambulance of musical madness, loosely inspired around the classic Naked Lunch! Essentially, the *last in my alterantive jaunt through 2017, so I was pleased to see a good amount of friendly faces throughout the night. This in-turn always inspires the mind to be more diverse and bring you the alternative night this town so sorely deserves. I certainly was great to include the new tracks from Grendel and last minute addition Black Light Ascension, although I did receive the new Godflesh album on the actual day, but I think I'll be keeping that for myself as I seriously doubt Luton will ever be ready for that!

So, forgetting about the excruciating pain of my back for a few hours, and replacing my over-the-counter medicine with the more natural healing power of apples (OK, so I spent the night drowning myself in cider!) we managed to get through the night without any problems, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves along the way. So with usual applaud, I thank those that showed support, and to DJ Uncle Filthy to his innovative input for the better part of the night.

*Officially, we're back in January 19th for the crudely titled  'January Embers' but will be back in  December for my birthday night on the 15th, and off course, the 'Scary Monsters Xmas 80s Night' on the 22nd.

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!!

Modern Psyche @ The Bear Club 15.6.2017

Ever since the hosting "Psyche Night In Luton" at G2, The Bear Club was the place where really I wanted to perform this night, it already having the chilled and relaxed atmosphere before you even walk in the door! So you can appreciate, I was nervous as hell leading up to this night, especially with support for my usual nights being rather lacklustre of recent, plus with the added pressure of playing a different genre entirely. But I'm pleased to say that the opening night couldn't of gone any better, with a good crowd already en-mass, with plenty more to still attend, and most importantly, nobody leaving once I started to play!!

So many thanks firstly to Justin of The Bear Club for letting me host my night, and to all that supported the night, and for all the compliments for the chosen music. I certainly hope to return later in the summer for more trippy fun!

Why Pamper Lifes Complexities? 9.6.2017

Another fun, if not quiet night. But this still gave me a good chance to play the newer material I've been listening too for the past few months including Merciful Nuns, Depeche Mode and The Janitors to name a few, although with the lack of alternative support, the last half of the night ended up in the usual mix of classics to keep the locals happy, but then we did have an unexpected appearance from Spiderman And Superman, so I guess this pretty much keeps the night to its usual weird essence! So thanks to those that did support, and I'll be back at G2 in late July for another mad mix of the morose, plus I'll be DJing for a special charity night, so keep watching for the adverts.

Wild & Wonderful @ The Black Horse 26.5.2017

As previously stated on the invite page, its been almost 8 years since the heady days of DJing "Thursday Fury" at The Black Horse, and as history tend to constantly repeat itself, I find myself here once more! So with the sun beating down all day, and the majority of the punters drinking in the beer garden, the night settled in pretty well, with a small but friendly group joining me at the DJ table for the duration. Plenty of compliments about my music selection, plus a minimum of requests, this turned out to be a very pleasant and enjoyable night, with a hope to be back playing again soon. So many thanks to the few that did accept my invitation, and to Chris the landlord for asking me to play in the first place! Keep watching the skies!
