Get Off That Thang Thang Thang!!!




This is the last and third one we are doing. I'm happy that we did an annual series of shows which focus on other forms of music rather than rock and whatever-is-the-flavour-of-the-month. We featured electronica acts and turntablists alongside with jazz, reggae and funk bands. It was fun but this should be the last time we are doing such programming. Trilogies is the in-thing until Sam Raimi decides to go ahead to do Spiderman 4. Then, quadrologies will rock our boat. Good friends Fishtank and Ugly In The Morning will be performing over the weekend.

In turn, hopefully, we'll get to do our final event in the "Spank The Monkey" series: "The Monkey Said, 'Ohh, Spank Me One Last Time!'" some time this year too. No, I'm not fucking you. That's really the name of the show.

Anyway, Robin of Camra will be sessioning for Sea Bed Sound. He's roped me in to play keyboards for them. What I mean by playing keyboards is using only 1 finger at any point in time. Yes, I'm doing an Alvin this Sunday. We are opening for the Kuala Lumpur act The Otherside Orchestra. They are a kick-ass band which moved from doing post-rock to their own blend of rock'n'roll, funk, dance and more rock'n'roll. Fer fuck's sake, they have their own strobe lighting operator. How cool is that?! Check out the video below.
