Havienda 29th August 2008
August 25, 2008New times
August 25, 2008This is more of an admin-type post for the attention of crew, staff and performers so that everyone knows the new format of our Friday nights. I’ve prepared two schedules – one for nights on which two bands are performing and one for when three bands play.

Falenizza Horsepower interview
August 21, 2008On Wednesday night I met Dave and Steve of Falenizza Horsepower to talk about their band’s music, the activities of Function Records, how they came to work with Planet Brain, the local music scene and much else besides.

The sound they created was a monumental wall of swirling, soaring blues improvisation by guitarist Lee Allison and bassist Aaron Brown around [...]
Melting Pot DJs every Friday
August 15, 2008I created a poster advertising our resident DJs and suitable for a A1-sized notice board outside the club. The design needed to have combined the list of artists Pip gave me last week, with which I’d already made a decent but unreadable poster, with an image that will hopefully cause people to stop in their [...]
