Superman Revenge Squad

I've been asked to play some records at the Audio Antihero birthday/Benjamin Shaw release show in London Bridge next week. On Friday 25th November, at the Miller (http://www.themiller.co.uk). So I am.

Yeah, This House Is Haunted - the play - went really well the other week. It was lovely seeing people act out the words I'd written. The Croydon Advertiser wrote a nice review of it on Friday: "for Ben Parker's first foray into play writing, it was a confident start with fast-paced dialoque".

A bit more non-superman revenge squad (but related) news. I recently wrote a play called "Yeah, this house is haunted" for the Breakfast Cat theatre company in Croydon, and they are putting it on for three nights after Halloween, as part of a double bill with Hammer Sandwich by Roberto Prestoni - here's the poster for it:

The story was obviously inspired by the song of the same name, from the Dead Crow Blues CD, but I've expanded and changed it quite a bit. Whilst it does feature a couple of ghosts, I don't think it'll be very ghostly. I'm looking forward to seeing people act it out.

Hello there. I have a bit of news. The graphic novel of The Dead Crow Blues is shaping up slowly - I'm writing it and Dave Broadbent (who did the artwork for the Nosferatu D2 album and for the Dead Crow Blues CD) is doing the artwork. And he sent me the front cover for it today, and it looks like this:

And I think it looks really good. We now just have to work out a way to get the thing published somehow...

Hello - a little bit more news: MJ Hibbett has put up a Totally Acoustic Finale Podacst, featuring all the people that played the last run of his splendid nights at the Lamb near Russell Square. And there's a recording of The Angriest Dog in the World on it, which sounds quite nice although one of the strings on my guitar is a little bit out of tune, but, I think, it still sounds quite nice. Have a download of the whole podcast here and see what you think: http://www.mjhibbett.co.uk/totallyacoustic/podcast.php?podcastcode=14

Hello - been a while since I last updated the site, but I've been quietly writing songs at home and not gigging or releasing anything for a couple of months, so haven't had much news. But I have a little bit of news today as my friend Fisty Kendal has done a remix of the title track from The Dead Crow Blues, and it sounds pretty good - have a listen to it here: http://www.fistykendal.com/
