A couple of short vids from the Water Rats show...

I was browsing on youtube and I found a couple of vids that had been uploaded from the show at Water Rats.

Thanks to Helen for filming and uploading!

Video 1 is a "Strip Club Skank" and video 2 is "The Filth"

Enjoy!

A great show at Water Rats

We played at Monto Water Rats on Saturday. We had a really good night, soundchecked quite early, but managed to avoid getting too drunk before we played, despite filling the 6 hour gap with a trip to Crobar and some jugs of White Russians!

I made myself smile by hurling "Rob Silver" plectrums at people, but the real thrill was having great sound!

Actually being able to hear what we were doing was a rare treat. Knowing that everyone in the audience could hear it as well was cool, rather than just having the piss poor sonic mush you have to put up with at a lot of venues.

A big thankyou goes out to Kris Gruber of Kris Gruber Photography who took some great pics of us. There are a few pics below, but yuo can check out the full gallery at his site here.

A couple of PISTOL KIXX live videos

New amp should be here soon, I'm getting a TSL601 in british racing green. Hpefully it will be getting it's first outing at th gig at Water Rats.

Not a lot eelse been going on, but here are some PISTOL KIXX live videos.





I was using a borrowed head with only one channel so the guitars don't sound great plus you can't hear the solos, but hey... it was good fun.

The new band tee shirts arrived as well.

Cool as fuck!

Showing off, sideburns, guitar fantasies and Burnley

At long last somebody has managed to get a picture of me playing the guitar behind my head. So thank you Mina. I mean what's the point of showing of, if you can't re-live the experience later on the internet?

So I'm happy, but a little suspicious that I should maybe try and get out more.

I have also become obsessed with the idea of playing rockabilly guitar and have been spending hours on youtube looking for lessons. I think deep down part of me thinks this is an attempt to validate my sideburns by embracing a subculture where they will be more widely appreciated, or maybe it's an excuse to buy a Gretsch or at least something with a Bigsby...

Pistol Kixx are back in the studio on the weekend which will be fun and I'm really looking forward to the triumphant return to Burnley for another live show the weekend after. It was very messy last time, but at least if I hit a travel lodge rather than taking 15 people back to Dave and Amanda's house, I can get drunk without feeling bad about the carnage!

ROCK!
