Do The Indie Kid

MJ Hibbett has a new single:Do The Indie Kid is OFFICIALLY out on April 7th but you can get in early RIGHT NOW and buy the 7" Single version (here), if you'd like to. Mr Steve Lamacq played it last week and it sounded GRATE on the radio (I thought so...

Queen BACK!

We're not going to this, nor going to get the album I wouldn't have thought. Went to see "Queen" before with Paul Rodgers, and it was good to hear some of the tunes live, but it's probably best just to leave it. Also Brian May seems like a bit of a m...

Tracey Emin will be scattering childrens clothes around our town

Read more about the Folkestone triennial, sounds interesting... Always good to get a mention in the press, even if they do highlight how run down Folkestone has been recently. Also, who is the ex Iron Maidener who lives in the town? Aha, wikipedia sa...

Folkestone triennial

Bit of a tongue in cheek story here in the Guardian about the launch of folkestone triennial (is that an art festival every three years?). Particularly hilarious is their attempt to compare Folkestone with Venice towards the end of the article... I r...

Party weekend

Yeah as I say it was before I lived there

Oh no, I sounded like one of those "Folkestone Arts" types... I loved Fresh and Wild, most people do, but I'm just saying that some people (the early adopter bohemian meeja types who lived in Stokey in the early '90s) see all chains as bad, but then ...

Yeah, I've seen the Wayne McConnell Quartet too, and they're alright I ssuppose, if you like that sort of thing. What they need though is a bit of show biz razz-a-ma-tazz, some sparkley suits and frilly cuffed shirts, some backing singers and a 6 pi...

RE: Matt was the drummer wasn't he?

yeah matt was the drummer.
Originally there was Matt, Simon, Stuart, Chris and Johnny, then Matt left and I can't remember what the new drummer was called.

Matt was the drummer wasn't he?

Did Simon take over after Matt left?

simon white

he was the drummer in menswear, oh yes, so he does count as a celeb right?He is very nice and is now the manager of bloc party so i guess he's done quite well for himself....

Andy Burrows

he was with johnny last night. He is the drummer out of razorlight. There is nothing interesting to say about him.
