We had such a good time at Cross Kings that we had to lie down for a week or two.

Now we’ve had a nap, we’re OK again.
Here’s some stuff we’re up to.
Thursday 25 June - a “private” party in North London
Saturday 27 June - a “private” party just north of London
Saturday 4 July - 9pm at Summer Westival, Aldershot’s answer to the Isle of Wight’s answer to Glastonbury’s answer to er… what was the question again?
Saturday 11 July - Hesfes - one of our favourite annual events. A week long romp in the Kent countryside with the friendliest folks around. www.hesfes.co.uk
Oh and you can now buy our new album mutter mutter. Buy it, it’s really really good.
    Fire behind us, darkness before, inferno within. Crikey.
Mr Brown sneered in the general direction his enemies today by revealing the biggest bangy thump thump of the century.
“An exclusive night of shady deals, cooked-up power chords and unexpected weasel beats,” is how we’ve been asked to describe it. Exclusive in the sense that some things won’t be allowed, presumably. Like expense accounts.
What will be allowed are mighty songs, awesome melodies, nononsense grooves and acres of hula hooping.You will whistle, hum and flap your hands about like a sparrow caught in the slipstrem of a passing high speed train.Â
It will be the meeting of this generation’s brightest musical hopes and darkest fears.
Zwah Remnant King Bearcraft Diego Brown and the Good FairyÂ
Brown, Moore, King, Zonn….Names to run an economy with.
In just a week’s time (26 March) this dream team presents Phase II of the Stimulating Package, in which we turn to an easing of the fisc.
The injured Bearcraft (Dicky Moore) is hoping to make an apparition if his football-sustained injury permits. (He’ll be taking a late fitness test on those tendons.)
But we have strength in depth anyway: Go crazy for the dulcet Remnant Kings and their rolled up chord structures.
Expect an injection of liquidity from Brightonian John Zonn and his peculiar tales.
Buy buy buy the verbal giganticism from the fecund-vowelled Lol Henderson.
And scratch your heads at diego brown and the good fairy.
All this and shedloads of free cash on 26 March 2009 Ryan’s Bar 181 Church Street N16
Doors:8ish til latish Free to listen in, not free to drink in.
So we launched our special Stimulus Package last night. New songs, chocolate and fairy cakes for afters. Yelled a bit, worked up a sweat. Some of the new songs are so new they’re not even on the new album. The people were friendly and made interesting faces at us.
Jules, Davers and Sonia of Remnant King wove a spooky sweet spell from the deep darkness of a seabed somewhere under the rainbow. ‘Event horizon’ is a dead good tune. They’re coming back for more in …
… Phase II, in which we turn the momentum of the stimulus into an easing of the fisc.
And there’ll be an injection of liquidity from John Zonn and, it’s rumoured, Bearcraft. More soon.
So we’re just a few short days away from big tune day. Breathe. Breathe.
Lots of folks say they’re going to be there. Ryan’s bar is quite small. So be thin, people, or be ready to share air, hair and care. Don’t be scared. You’re friends will be there and they care…
Some words about our poet for the evening:
“Lol Henderson mangles some words plucked from the zeitgeist cauldron, bungs them in the twin tub of reality, then blow-dries them into bouffanted poetic bunnies, which he pulls from the top hat of doom. And he once played guitar for Nico. Really.Â
diego brown and the good fairy will be playing songs of hope, audacity and goodness with billions of notes poured into a bottomless pit of hearing.
We’ll be joined by a number of wise men, poets such as the darkly barking Lol Henderson, and raving Keynsians hoping to foist our unbelievable theories of everything on an unsuspecting public.
Specially guesty will be the velveteen-voiced Remnant King with their rug of a sound. They will be offering a stripped-down acoustic version of their gorgeously melodic calculator music.
We forecast that the rate of interest will be extremely high so get there early for the best clapping seat in the house. You may be expected to beat time (itself).
