Superman Revenge Squad

Hello there,

I've set up a bandcamp site, so that eventually I can put all of the SRS recordings up to listen to and to download - so far, I've added the first three albums (for £2.50 each) and a live recording or "We're Here For Duration..." that I found (that can be downloaded for nothing if you fancy it)

Have a look here: http://supermanrevengesquad.bandcamp.com/

The new recordings I've been doing are now very nearly ready for people to listen to - I recorded seven songs with the band I played with last year, and one new song on my own, and we pretty much finished the mixing of this on Monday this week. It is sounding grand. I think I'm going to call it "There Is Nothing More Frightening Than The Passing Of Time", but I'm not 100% sure. I think that's what I'll call it though. More news soon.

Yeah, we started recording the SRS band yesterday - I always regretted not recording the band when we first played a one off gig four years ago, so this time I've made the time and effort to get us all into the Rocket recording studio in Croydon. So far, it seems to be going very well - think there's going to be seven songs with the full band, and a couple of just me, and hopefully it'll be put onto a CD and made available sometime, if it all sounds good in the end. I'm quite excited about hearing the finished result. We've got another day booked, to finish off recording stuff. Will update the website with any developments.

Other news is that I'm playing a Superman Revenge Squad set on my own again this month, as part of the Croxjam event that is taking place at all venues in Croydon on 20th October - apparently, you get a wristband for a fiver and can then get into all the venues where bands will be playing all day. Looks like it should be good - I'm on at Matthew's Yard at 3ish I think, and I notice that after me both Cassettes and MJ Hibbert are playing, who are definitely both SRS faves.

Hello there - just thought I'd mention that there was a feature on Nosferatu D2, the band I used to be in with my brother, on the radio in America, on PRI's The World, and you can listen to it again here:

It's very nice, and features an interview with me and with Jamie that runs the Audio Antihero label that released the ND2 album.

There's a little bit of footage that's been put up on youtube of the SRS big band gig last week - it's of us tackling a version of Judas Priest's Breaking the Law... it was a gig for my birthday and I wanted some sort of light show if we were going to play this song, but we ended up with a big collection of party poppers instead and let them off during this song... have a look at this link here:

Just got back from the Superman Revenge Squad big band gig. Was really nice to play with them again, and it seemed to go pretty well. Here are the songs we played:

Lately I've found myself Regressing

Kendo Nagasaki

I'm Gonna Go To Bed and When I Wake Up I'm Gonna Be Someone Else

Flava Flav

Paulie in Rocky 3

A Funny Thing You Said

We're Here For Duration

The Angriest Dog In The World

Breaking the Law

And here's a photo of the band: Me with Adam Parker (on drums), Martin Webb (on cello), Gavin Kinch (on Accordion and Piano), and Jon Roffey (on saxophone)

Hopefully we'll go into the studio sometime soon as record some of the songs. Then maybe we'll do another gig together one day. It was a really splendid evening
