Havienda September 12th, 2008

Moog and Bulletproof with the irrepressible enthusiasm of their fans made this show one of the best ones we’ve done yet. It is hard to believe Moog haven’t played together for such a long time since they completely owned the stage relentlessly dipping into a repertoire of pop-rock songs complete with dirty guitar licks and [...]

Havienda 29th August 2008

The Black Stats will be playing at Jersey Live this weekend but before that they’ll be part of a three-band show at Havienda on Friday 29th August. DJ Pip will be providing music for the warm-up and intervals and playing a set of the finest indie rock and pop to finish. The doors open at [...]

Planet Brain poster #2

I have always enjoyed the poster making part of event promotions. There’s something singularly challenging about designing graphic works for public places that are meant to stand out amongst those of one’s (hopefully) friendly competitors.

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

I 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 [...]

The Experience at Havienda – Friday 15th August

The Experience are a three piece rock band well known for their instrumental approach to classic heavy rock. Their sound has its roots in the progressive blues of Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix with some heavy ’60s psychedelia in the mix and their performances are stunning workouts of ferocious invention. The stage and sound system [...]

Havienda 8th August 2008 and other news

The Melting Pot DJs, curators of the finest indie and electro, will be playing at Havienda tomorrow from eight. I’m hoping a lot of people come along and support what we’re doing. The music will be simply awesome through a system that blows some less fidelity-conscious venues’ setups clean out of the water.
There are some [...]
