THE LAST GUITARIST


Do you like searing noise and feedback and general musical idiocy like me? Well then. The Last Guitarist . Com will soon be providing the UK with loads of amazing pedals from some of the best handmade ridiculous pedal makers available, like the Dwarfcraft Eau Claire Thunder I got from him. Check it out, email him and ask him what he has, he said he's got Harmonic Perculator clones that look and sound just like that poker players one.

EX-EASTER ISLAND HEAD.

This is one of four pictures for Bido Lito #2, for an article about Ex Easter Island Head and Liverpool's 'avant-garde' types. I've heard it's out on the 6th of June, but I can't remember to be honest, they put up PDFs of the magazine on the website if you fancy a look at it and aren't lucky/unlucky enough to live in the Mersey Delta.

MUGSTAR


New Liverpool based music magazine Bido Lito asked me to do some illustration to go with an interview/live review of Mugstar for their debut issue in May, so here it is, after a couple of hours geeking out wildly at the Nasa Astromony Picture of the day this hit me square between the eyes. So pick up a copy of Bido Lito and tear my picture out and put it on your fridge!

There is loads of bands on the DVD including: Stig Noise, The International, Mugstar, a.P.A.t.T., Beast, Action Beat, Indica Ritual, Sidney Baileys No Good Punchin' Clowns, Barbieshop, Barberos, Trouble with Books, Zombina and The Skeletones, Hot Club De Paris, errr probably more...

James McKenzie's Pyramid



Hello the very few people who will see this. this entry is outside of the usual realms of this word and picture hole cause I'm not advertising a gig.

This one is about the small obsession I have with one of Liverpool's most odd pieces of architecture - In the churchyard of the derelict St. Andrew's Church of Scotland on Roscoe St is a pyramid to James Mackenzie which was built in 1868. Mackenzie was a railway contractor and reputed to have been an avid gambler. Folklore has it that he wished to be buried sitting upright at a card table with a winning hand, after losing his soul in a card game with the Devil who said he'd collect it once he was dead and buried.

So yeah, here is my handywork inspired by that story.

a.P.A.t.T / STIG NOISE - P.T.F.F. (Pre Tour Fuel Fundraiser)

Second poster of 2010, done the day after the first, badly need to get myself to bed. Anyway, the inspiration for this comes from me snapping the handle off the toilet on New Years Eve, and this evening scouring B&Q for a replacement only to find that ugly one you see fitted above, wow! my life is so exciting these days.

P.S. Venue will be filled in shortly.

THE EX & BRASS UNBOUND



Happy 2010, year of immense opportunity poverty. This first poster of the year followed a failed attempt at some arty nonsense I should never have attempted, featuring my girlfriends goldfish. Gig will be amazing, get on down, blah blah blah.
