Music this week

I’ve got lots of music goings on this week… The big things are:

Water Tower Bucket Boys @ Milo, Wed 18th

We’re putting on this amazing ol’ time band at Milo as part of Foxes and Convicts tomorrow night in Leeds – it’s free in, at Milo (opposite Blue Rinse next to the Corn Exchange) and going to be a really busy one, so get down early! The fun starts at 8!

March of Dimes @ Elbow Rooms & Nation of Shopkeepers

Tom’s off on holiday this month, so we’ve rearranged the songs into a good ol’ bit of footstompin’ fun. We’ll be playing them at Elbow Rooms on Friday night, then over in York on Saturday, then back to play Nation of Shopkeepers on Sunday night.

If you’re around, pop down. If only to see me sweat through trying to play 4am:division and Cracks in the Floor and a kick drum at the same time.

Foxes and Convicts podcast returneth!

When I started running the monthly Milo night with Jon from the Dimes, we started recording a monthly podcast with some live sessions from the people playing at the night.

The first run was brilliant fun, and we had some amazing sets – so great, in fact, that I’m going to put together a pay-what-you-want compliation album of the tracks in aid of Cancer Research UK.

Not only that, but we’ve recorded another one! We’ve got three acts in we’ve wanted to record with for ages, so that’s very exciting, and they are:

Silky

Hannah Trigwell

and

Jack, and Gill’s Daughter

Fluffy Cyberman

Fluffy Cyberman

All of whom have played Foxes over the last year or so. We’re going to start doing these more regularly, so do subscribe in iTunes to keep getting them, and in the meantime, enjoy the show!
