Got a couple of shows coming up. One in Reading on 30 SEPTEMBER at The Butler. Our friend Chris Southern is moving back to Plymouth so it's a leaving do for him. From one shithole to another... We'll see him off in style I'm sure. The other is in Brighton on 16 OCTOBER with CARLTON MELTON. That one is at The Prince Albert. Maybe see you at one of those...
Final call for cassette heads: We're down to our last tape. If you want it then you'd better get to our bandcamp sharp-ish. Doubledotdash have a few left too I think.
Loads of good stuff coming up in Reading. Amongst the usual Doubledotdash shows etc, we've also been involved in setting up a workshop with Yuri Landman. He's a world class instrument builder who has worked with the likes of SONIC YOUTH, LIARS, DEUS, LOU BARLOW, MELT BANANA, HEALTH, ACTION BEAT, RHYS CHATHAM, HALF JAPANESE... the list goes on. Yuri is coming over from the Netherlands especially for this workshop. We're building the Triochord, which is pictured above. It is played as a tabletop instrument and incorporates a microtonal scale able to produce notes outside of the normal range of the guitar. When the three strings are tuned in unison it generates a beautiful natural chorus effect. It can also be played with a slide in the manner of a slide guitar or lapsteel. If you live near Reading then get yourself down to the workshop and you can go home with a new instrument. Click here for more info.
