Blue Light Initiative launch party tonight!

This is tonight!

The launch party for Brightons newest band collective, The Blue Light Initiative, formed to help promote each others gigs and releases and to form a support network of fans and gig goers.

The Stars Down To Earth, Bobby McGees, Yokoko and Beautiful Word all on one billing in one place for only a fiver. Plus for the first 30 people through the door there is a free compilation featuring 9 songs by the 9 bands involved in this project!

I put this poster together a few weeks ago in a bit of a rush so while I like it I know I can do a lot better.

I'm usually a fan of the hand drawn/painted poster but just recently been really liking photo backgrounds. This doesn't work as well here, even though I love the photo, but it can be really visually striking when got just right and placed amongst all the other illustrator and hand drawn font posters you see everywhere!

The Clockwork Archipeligo weekend.

The Clockwork Archipeligo was this weekend just gone (saturday/sunday) A group event from a whole bunch of steam punk, burlesque, circus freak, festival types that took place in some unused old garage spaces under the Brighton train station.

Loads of performances and bands, a bar and a food bar and djing! If you werent there you missed out on seeing Mr Jack Cooper, Restlesslist and the Bobby McGees playing live as well as a host of folk/jazz punk performance (..bad!)

Mr Jack Cooper lost his voice at the end of the set just in time for their new track "Lynks Africa" which is almost lyricless, all afro beats and 90's rave keys! V Good!

I played my usual stupid mix records which included: Betty Boo, Dj Assault, Journey, Ebola, Les Rythmes Digitales, Fantomas, Bigzy, Technotronic, Disco Devil and Bikini Kill.
