A crackin' time was to be had at the Newbridge Studio Space last weekend! Thanks loads to those who made it down and to everyone who helped out on the night; including all the volunteers at Newbridge and to Richard Bilton for setting up and manning a fantastic sounding rig. Special thanks of course to DESIGN A WAVE, HEATSICK + TOTEM RECALL for three totally swampin' sets and to DJ KUBA RYNIWICZ + DAWN BOTHWELL. Thanks also to MELISSA OSBORNE for some choice party pics ( full photo set H E R E! ) as well as some steady handy cam work on the above vid of HEATSICK.

Definitive Gaze

2011-09-28T05:49:00.000-07:00

Eh yo! What's poppin' marras?!

After a long lie-in, we're back in just 21 days and counting with this sure to be splendid closing party at the NEW BRIDGE STUDIOS, 12 New Bridge Street West, NE1 8AW on SATURDAY 22ND OCTOBER. Said knees up will mark the end of a really great exhibition entitled THE DEFINITIVE GAZE, which is curated and put together by DAWN BOTHWELL and features artworks and exhibits by the likes of ALICE BAG, JACOB CIOCCI,
TOM RUBBITZ + MARCUS VATER.

http://thenewbridgeproject.com/upcoming-exhibitions/the-definitive-gaze/

Headlining the festivities is our main man DESIGN A WAVE aka CLECKHUDDERFAX's sensual synth wizard TOM HIRST, who returns to the region for just his 2nd time after providing some mega juicy jams back in March with A Glimpse faves PLEASE and BEARDS.

Sitting pretty in the middle is HEATSICK aka STEVE WARWICK from BRIDS OF DELAY who will be FLYING IN (!) all the way from BERLIN to dish up some gorgeous, pastel coloured scoops of DREAM TENNIS, using just his busted Casiotone and a looper pedal, while riding high on some lovely, clicky drum pad rhythms and candy floss coloured keyboard
melodies. MHINT!

Heatsick 'Ice Cream On Concrete' from Bill Kouligas on Vimeo.

Last but not least is local leg ends TOTEM RECALL, who have been penetrating Newcastle's third eye with their psychedelic snake charmers now for the best part of 2 years.

And as if that wasn't enough! We'll be joined by DJ KUBA RYNIEWICZ on the 1's + 2's into the early hours. All this and more on SATURDAY 22ND OCTOBER.

Tickets are just a fiver. More info and audio links, visit -

A love poem to animals, woman and earth: 'First day of summer - hungry like wolf. I wait for Azda Price order and colour posters to print. Sun is shining, birds are singing. COINS MELT IN HOT HEAT OF SUN. Sheet under sheets, £20 - instant cash flow. Keep heart in pants and dick behind bars. Shake hands, no glancing. Pay dues to concrete kirb and sweet smell of nature. Return home, legs between tail'.

In A Very Real Sense Now

High everybody! Sew good to sea you! Here's the spiffing new vid from The European aka Simon Break, who is now rumoured to be singing back up in a Mamma's And Pappa's tribute band, while living in La La Land with his pet dog Google. If you didn't catch The European's excellent debut album on Stolen Recordings or his video for The Settler the first time 'round, have a dodge and better still - buy the album from whence this song came! Also, check out all the funnny (ie: wrong/weird) comments in reaction to The Settler vid (sample comment - 9501dannyboy: 'how many cocks has this prick sucked?!')

Brighton's P E E P H O L E S are helping both t'soothe and shake off a not so nice chestycoughcold here at Palm Tree HQ today, with the help of their whimsical, psyche-punk floatiness and astral leanings; Peepholes are the perfect medicine to be taken once the Vicks Vapour Rub has worn off and the Jakemen's throat sweets 'run dry. Self pitying, weak immunce systems aside (!) I'm hoping to get these two up to a Star And Shadow shaped Cinema near you soon, so stay peeled yo!
