SaffronKeira and Petrels

On Tuesday 13th I played at Catch, with SaffronKeira and Petrels. Both were incredible.

On the 5th, I got to play with Umez, at the Macbeth. They were great, as was the night. I think Umez are pretty much my favourite band in London at the moment.

Here's why

RAINBOW

New releases, tour, Power Lunches

Apologies for the huge gaps between updates, it's been a busy couple of months.

Firstly, three new releases to tell you about

1). 'Our Beautiful Decay' new cdr/download from me. Available from gigs and the Kostoglotov bandcamp

The physical copies come in individually hand drawn charcoal covers (by me).

2). 'East London, 27.07 - 13.08' A free download release again available from my bandcamp

This was built on field recordings I made in East London during the Olympics.

3). Eyes - A free download available from the HLF/PIN netlabel.

My most recent recordings. Three very long tracks. One named after an Ivorian crocodile keeper who was recently killed by one of the crocodiles he looked after. HLF/PIN are a really great London based netlabel and I strongly recommend checking out all of their releases.


Second, last month I had the immense pressure of embarking on a mini tour with my good friends Lost Harbours. This included 4 gigs, 2 in Estonia and 2 in Latvia. It was a lot of fun and I'd like to thank Lost Harbours, Sandi, and everyone we met on our travels. Lost Harbours made a nice video of it, which is available here on vimeo

Thirdly, on Monday I played a gig at the wonderful Power Lunches with Petrels, Graham Dunning and Rosie Okae. All three were amazing, as was the crowd.

Olympics

A new song built on recordings from my window of the Olympics opening ceremony is now available to stream and download from soundcloud.

It's called 'Helicopters Over East London' and features helicopters, street parties, sirens and fireworks

Here it is.

Last Night

Thanks to everyone who came to No More Heroes last night, and thank you to Rob for putting it on

Also, Unheimlich. Unheimlich were amazing. I wish I had a video to show...

Next Show

My next gig is at the Wreck in Camberwell Church Street. The night is called No More Heroes IV.

Emperor Yes will also be playing.

Starts at 8:00pm

Power Lunches 11th June

On Monday I played/promoted at Power Lunches with Isnaj Dui, Alex Monk and Circuit Breaker. All three were very good.

Here is a video of Circuit Breaker sounding particularly menacing.

Press

Always one to gloat, here are some reviews of the Kostoglowhat? CDR I released last year.
