'bout time for for an update!

Well Loud Howls festival has been and gone, totally pleased with how it went! The Sun Gods In Exile/Grifter tour was a load of fun, everyone got on great, I made a lot of new friends and it was suitably rock and roll.

So now all thats been and gone it's time to work on new projects. There will be a Mindzap video for The Laze, a frankly amazing prog band from Liverpool, Cherry Chokes video will see the light of day and it looks like somethings in the pipeline for Pombagira.

I'm also going to take my motorbike test in the summer and finally get a motorbike!

Pimping stands

I've entered this design into a competition to pimp a stand for a cool little magazine they give away in the South West called 24/7. Hopefully it'll do the biz

Stone Turner- Some live footage

This is some footage Mindzap cut for Stone Turner from a live session in a sweaty practice room, getting this job wasnt too hard as I play guitar and all that. The drummer is Rich who also plays guitar in the noisy and frankly awesome Koresh and on the bass is Isabella who I was formerly in the band Stubb with.

Rock and roll and teapots??

MINDZAP will be customizing a teapot for the Underdog Art Co. 'Rock Around The Crockery' show on 12th Dec. Come down and take a look as theres going to be kick ass bands etc for the opening of the show. The theme is rock influenced crockery!

What an awesome weekend!

Firstly we had the event at Underdog Art Co. called 'The Underdog rock'n'roll
poster riot' which got a great turnout. The artwork was all superb and the bands
were awesome, Outskirts of Infinity seriously rocked out, great band.

Then on the Sunday Roadsaw. Such a great day, cool people, 10 great bands,
loads of beer. Good times! I want to do it all again, minus the hangover i have
today!

Good photos and video coming soon for both events

Ticket making

I knocked up these little dollar bill tickets for the Roadsaw gig, kinda fun

The Gaff

Today we went and put up loads of posters for the rock poster show at Underdog Art co. as well as checking out The Gaff where Roadsaw gig is due to take place. Looks like a brilliant venue, pinball machines, great PA, rock and roll styling. Got a couple of photos showing the venue and the poster up in the venue. Come along on 3rd May, will be great!

Posters are printed

Thanks to Sam at Underdog Art Co. I now have a load of freshly printed posters for the Roadsaw gig. I'll have some of these on the day available for cheap.
