RADIOACTIVE MUTANT CORPSE BANK HOLIDAY ALLDAYER! 29.5.2011.

Not quite the alldayer for myself, as I didn't get there until nearly 8pm, but beers were drunk, friends were present, and chaos was always going to be the theme of the night. I was originally promised to DJ for an hour, but after previously witnessing othe nights at Teh george IInd, its usually a case of turning up and seeing what happens!

Still, what else are you gonna do on a boring bank holiday Sunday evening? So a fun night was had, and kudos to all that played a part in the day/night and cheers to Gary Stevens/Plant Pot for inviting me to play.

The Alternative Wedding Rehearsal Night 28.4.2011

At last, my first post of 2011.

After three annoying no-shows at previous planned nights (through last minute cancelations and other excuses) finally, a night that goes well. But in this business, its usually a case of if you don't ask, you don't get, so nothing ventured, nothing gained.

So, as usual, we find a hyped media occasion, and exploit the hell out of it for your own benefits! In this case, another day that makes you so proud to be a British tax payer - the royal wedding, but I like to think more of it in our case as putting the 'hearse' back into rehearsal.

Regardless of our unfortunate outdated monarchistic system (is that a word?) The George IInd rocked its way through the night with a great collection of friends, past and present, mixed together with a chilled selection of indie, goth, horrorpunk and a few other songs I never get the chance to play. Basically, it was perfect from start to finish and I couldn't of asked for a better night, so thank you all very much for joining me.

Hellfyre (Bedford) - Xmas Eve - Friday 24th December 2010

A very chilly xmas night, and probably the quickest DJ slot I've ever done! Anyway, thanks very much to Chris & Kate for letting me be a part fo the Hellfyre team once more, and to my good friends Scott & Eilish for the lift to Bedford, and more importantly, back again!

Esquires will now be closed for 'refurbishment' so who knows when the next event will be. All I know is the last seven months of Hellfyres have been very enjoyable for all involved and if you didn't attend any of them, then you really missed out.

That's it for me DJ wise in 2010 (and I hear your sighs of relief!) What few guest slots I've done have all been really good fun, so fingers crossed for 2011 that I'm more busier. As usual, thanks to all those that have supported me, especially at The Coven.

Clockwork - Friday 17th December 2010 (Luton, G2)

It’s been a long while to wait since the June night was cancelled due to the poxy world cup, but it was sure worth the wait. As expected with such a busy line-up, I was asked to pretty much go first. I got to play for a bit longer than expected, which is always great in my book, especially with so many of the songs being 5 minutes plus!


As any enjoyable set goes, it ended all too soon, and I left the night in the very capable hands of organisers Callum and Belinda to host the three great bands:- WILDLIFE / SPIKED & GUN CRIME.


As always, I hope to invited back in the new year for more of the psychedelic stuff.

Small Paul's Phabulous Party Phenomenon III - Saturday 20th November 2010

Had I said that the previous nights were chaos? Well, not compared to tonight!

I arrived circa 8pm to find Flexo Chris in his usual state of lost. Once again, his mobile phone (with backing tracks) and leads were nowhere to be found. I then found out that the ODC drummer wasn’t going to arrive till around 10.30pm. So much for structure.

I wanted to start the night at 9pm, but thanks to the jukebox and the G2s reluctance to turn it off, I had to threaten to walk before I finally got to start. Luckily Tinitus Pete had arrived on time, which is more that could be said about our actual host! Flexo Chris finally arrived 90 minutes later and after a brief sound check, we got underway. Once again, the DJ mixer was fucked and I occasionally had to manually tweak the cables to get both channels to work! Audience wise, we were a bit quiet to begin with, but the night soon picked up. ODC played a magnificent set, and a great night finally transpired. Before I knew it, it was kicking out time!

Thanks to everybody that showed up. We’ve no plans to do anymore this year, but ‘look out’ 2011!

Sacrilege (Cambridge) - Friday 19th November

After failing to find any willing participant to accompany me, my faithful roadie and I set out into the into night against the dark and fog laden journey, which would inevitably lead us to Cambridge’s goth night, Sacrilege.

We arrived just as the club was opening and quickly got settled with bottled beers and a nice position in which to gaze at the barmaids arse. After nearly two very cold hours, a friendly face finally appeared, but not the hordes of people we were expecting in support.


Luckily, the DJ area was warmer and I quickly got settled into my set which I’d solely based on Sacrileges previous set lists. The dancefloor slowly started to fill, although several songs sent people flying! Luckily, the hour flew by and by 1am we decided to seek home due to the following night’s entertainment. As always, thanks to my hosts DJ Alix & Dvae for inviting me to play.

Small Paul's Phabulous Party Phenomenon II - Saturday 23rd October 2010

As per usual, chaos ruled the night, but in a good way. Although the night was scheduled to start at 8pm we too many bands on the bill, not enough time and nobody was taking the reigns, so I decided to start the night officially at 8.45pm.

We had a much better turn out, especially considering that one of the bands had pulled out a few days previously, but nobody really seemed to be bothered. Definite highlight of the night was ‘Flexo’. So much passion for such a small bloke! Replacement band S.W.A.N.K. didn’t get a chance to play due to lack of time and the karaoke but it’s not like they haven’t played G2 before! I didn’t really pay much attention to the karaoke this time due to socialising with so many friends, but did manage to defile a Doors song!

Once again, I’d run my playlist upto about two hours, but only played a very few songs from it. The plan was to finish the night of myself, but due to the few people that were left and the music style that Tinitus was finishing on, I decided not to bother. Going from ska to horrorpunk I felt really wouldn’t work, but I did manage to get the one request I was asked for played as a finishing song!

Theoretically, this was the last ‘Phabulous Party’ so thanks to all that supported it and helped with the chaos. I’m sure we’ll return under another name some time soon.
