Sunday 21st June
Today, our thoughts are with our dear friend & inspiration, Tony TS McPhee - recovering from illness
up country. Tony gave us the blues when all we had was confusion. He re-wrote the rule book for us
& was never afraid to try something new. We've been planning a record - passing vibes back & forth
up the wire for months. This is a dream we hold very dear. Get well soon Tony, we got work to do...(more...)
Saturday 20th June
Today, as we re-enacted scenes from The Jukes of Hazard, the poetry of re-constructed websites danced off our tongues for the enhanced pleasure of future generations. Later, much later, in the warm & breezy pastures of East Essex we boiled the kettle in maximum rotation & jammed our first tentative steps as a three-piece tooled-up with new toys & grooves. You wont've heard this one before.

Inspiration moves in the groove out at the Lemon as the hardcore wrestle the new machines into submission Hyde heads west into the City of Dreams to peel words of the streets.

Wednesday 17th June
Return-ed to the Lemon, the shelter of our home-groove. Friends re-united, plugged into the power.
Promised brain cells still in transit after long-haul from the deep south. Something numb sits between
the ears, holding a space where the mind used to be. Body shaking from re-entry. At least you get
transported fully clothed in this film. Listening to Tetra

(Also 'Devious when Drunk') Scrubbed the sky-dirt off in Singapore, before, acquiring a whole lot more on the flight back to London. Coming down from over-dosing on re-cycled breath - it was cleaner when we were allowed the choice to smoke in-flight. Back on the Island, everything looking green & verdant. The body arrives in one piece, the brain arriving in instalments over the rest of the week. Thank you to everyone who came to the deep south & gave their support. Thanks to the new friends we made there & for the inspiration they filled us with. Now glad I am to be back amongst the clan, looking forward to hard-wiring into the grooves of Brother Smith, who, regardless of the good times south, I have deeply missed.

Thank you to all who came to see & hear what two daze of jamming can do. These people are extraordinary. I know of only one other person who's this good (& still has the edge for me). What an honour & privilege to be asked to be part of this collection of outsiders. Toby Vogel rocked the video & camera projections -
I'm very glad we got that boy on tour with U/W. Here's some more views of the set-up.....(more...)
