Braced for action

Self, December 12, 2011

It's been lean pickings in 2011 for those who enjoy my self-portrait photography. Truth is that when I'm busily occupied with musical business, the muse tends to dry up in other areas.

I did purchase a new camera (an Olympus PEN E-PL1) earlier this year and I guess while I took a few shots in August this year with it, this is the first proper planned photoshoot I've done.

I've been looking at erotic / fashion photography bloggers on tumblr a lot recently and it influenced the direction these images took. I hope you like them. I think my hair looks nice in these, if nothing else!

You can see the whole photo set here.

Bye bye 2011

This has certainly been nothing less than an interesting and creative year for me, predominantly because I feel that Deathline have taken a great step forward. Our recordings from LA are going to be brilliant - we're tweaking and mixing them now and hope to release a single early next year from the set. Expect to see a lot more gigging to back this up as that's a side we let drop last year.

Next year, there will be many changes, in my work and personal life as well as with my band, and I can't wait to share these changes with you, which have been in the planning for some time now.

I'm very excited about 2012 and I hope you all are too.

Happy New Year!

Grey Christmas

Self, December 12, 2011

Last night I dreamt
Of a grey Christmas with you
I don't know who
I was trying to fool
The sky was murky
And it rained.

Not a lot.
Just a bit.

Happy Christmas 2011 xx

DEATHLINE

A thick sense of sexy and deathly foreboding from the dark drone rock duo.

"Noir Rock with grinding drums that spit out short sharp burst of venom and a broody as hell bass ... An amazing combination."
Artrocker

"...post artrock rumble that purrs like a new born kitten and shreds your skin like a tiger on speed"
The Devil has The Best Tuna

SPIRITWO

One moment feisty electro, then Middle Eastern vocals creep in and all coiled into a tight punk rock aesthetic rooted in Mr Bungle and Cardiacs.

'Noir art-deco pop from the hardcore sex store... Great, big, clever, warm, glowing pop songs to hang all your hats on'
Organ Magazine

ONO PALINDROMES

Ono Palindromes are BACK with their forceful hook infused angle on alternative rock meets grunge.

"gleefully unhinged"
Rocksound

"guitar shredding monkeymen"
Artrocker

"...high octane, relentless and bruising rock 'n' roll destined to seriously disturb the neighbours"
The Mad Mackerel

"A volcanic blend of QOTSA and Fugazi, you can almost hear the sweat being poured into pile driving slabs of raging rock.... The result? Complete devastation. Belting."
Whisperin And Hollerin'

GRAVE ERRORS

Twisted and unapologetic grunge meets stoner from this new London Trio.
