adjusting transitions

see what i'm capable of doing when i put my mind to it?

not only have i stripped the decking to the best of my abilities whilst catching a fair bit of sun at the same time, i have also found the time to do my fair share of house work, read a comic in the sun whilst enjoying a beer that gets me up to date for reading Final Crisis, fixed the toilet, unfixed the light that needs to be returned to B&Q and fixed my dupstep mix.

of course, i thought it was finished the first time round, but a few little niggles and issues that had been raised by my girlfriend have been taken into consideration and with a little bit of tweaking i'm hoping that it shall meet with approval

nothing drastic has changed, everything has stayed the same, i have just readjusted a handful of the transitions as a number of tracks seemed to be coming in too loud and ruined the flow slightly, but like i said, i thought it was fine the first time round... let's see if i go back for any further edits....

but i am proud of it, the title pretty much says it all really...

wub be good to me, a dubstep cut'n'paste mix by Hunchbakk

Wub be good to me, a dubstep cut'n'paste mix by Hunchbakk

i basically cut and pasted the whole thing together in Acid, creating my own little loops and edits and merging tracks together as best as i possibly could, and i'll say it again, i am proud of it, for every little niggle or obvious flaw there have been other mixes, transitions and edits that have been so smooth that they have not raised any attention at all, it may not be perfect, but it's mine.

and so, perhaps for a little piece of history on this mix.

it was created for a friend that doesn't like dubstep.

we were at a dubstep night at Bar Form, and to be honest, it was slightly on the boring side, there was no real variation, nothing to really hook anybody in to the music, some of it was banging, but the rest of the time it strayed into repetitive and generic territory.

my friend was particularly unimpressed and it was easy to pinpoint what it was she didn't like about what was being played, yet i insisted that there would be dubstep that i think she would like and vowed to knock together a CD of tracks that i think she might have liked.

except some of these tracks and mixes were going on five or six minutes or more long, and strayed into repetitive and generic territory, so instead of just knocking together a playlist to burn off and wallow in the glove compartment of her car i instead thought i'd try and get a little creative and actually mix the tracks to suit her attention span.

so, in my own way i decided to splice together a mix that would reach back to the moody and pioneering dubstep of Burial as something of a history lesson, but also take in more vocal based tracks and remixes, as well as covering a number of more recognisable tunes in a filthy dubstep disguise, and since i couldn't let her get away without a little something to challenge her i also threw in tracks from Caspa and Rusko amongst the more palatable tracks as something of a contrast.

so what are you waiting for?

thanks

how i've rolled...

this week may not have been the most productive from a creative point of view

but they are things on the go and ideas up in the air (and articles to write)

i am still tinkering around - on acid - with a remix idea that i didn't find enough time to devote to this week, all the essentials of the finished piece are in place as far as i'm concerned, but now comes the hard graft and spit n polish that should see the track come through the other side as a fully formed remix ready to tackle the blogosphere (tho it will more likely become buried beneath a bundle of other un-inspiring remixes that have already been doing the rounds)

and i have also made prelimanary preparations for another three pieces of music, a couple of which shouldn't take too much time to complete, but then things very rarely, if ever, actually go to plan, so perhaps it would be best not to hold your breath waiting for a prolific splurge of new material from Hunchbakk.... those that hang around shall be rewarded eventually, and the wait shall be cluttered with mutterings, utterings and obviously videos of a geeky nature....

and what of my writing in general?  well, last week i had a preview copy of Beady Eye's debut album posted out to me, and my review should be up on glasswerk in the very near future, i'm also considering knocking together a piece on Liam Gallagher's new band to share between the Advertiser and my new blog, Desperately Seeking Susan Boyle, which is kind of like this blog, but for those with more discerning tastes that perhaps don't want to deal with all of my ramblings and obsessions... yes, it is a music blog in the more traditional sense

talking of music, and blogging, and music blogging, and also talking of the Enfield Advertiser, i have a couple more write-ups to be getting along with, one of which is the long-overdue 9Blind piece, and the second (tho it will likely come first) piece shall be on The Fetts, another local band, that have just self-released their debut album and who played at last week's Sel-out gig at Bar Form at which i DJed, all by myself up in that little triangle window...

the gig was hardly over-subscribed, but it was a nice little turn out for the band in an intimate environment, and without the pressure of trying to please a bunch of willies who have quite clearly turned up to the wrong night, shouting 'play something funky!' i could get a little bit self-indulgent and truly eclectic with my choices, knocking out a set choc-full of tracks i wouldn't usually play or perhaps have neglected, mixed in with a handful of old standards and crowd pleasers, even if the crowd hadn't considered it when they were heading for a night out, they did seem kinda pleased to hear boom-shak-a-lak

the nature of my DJ sets and the obscurity of my tastes did actually prompt a request for a mixtape of decent mixes, which is the third of its kind that i shall have to get to work on, and also brings me back quite nicely to the concept of blogging, and in particular back to Seeking Susan Boyle, for although the content may be pasable for now, i do hope to up the game a little bit, some artwork and an overall style aesthetic is being analysed as we speak, as are plans for a bit of coincidental merch, and also a monthly mxtape, for those that prefer their music in bulk, as opposed to drip fed weekly... all very exciting stuff... if only there were more time to do it all in....

oh damn it, better get started on these other articles......
but do check back, and check Seeking Susan Boyle

and consider yourselves updated
thank you

Uncovering the Enfield Underground

while i'm glad that my latest article to be published in the Enfield Advertiser sheds light on a number of acts that i might not get a chance to feature individualy, i am slightly disapointed with the way it came across in print.

i don't think the picture used really did the story any justice in capturing an exciting underground movement and the bi-line made it sound as if the scene was focused on Bar Form, unfortunately the picture choice and bi-lines (and even the headlines) are not down to me, although i do try and make suitable suggestions, this time putting forward a handfull of great images of Deeds of the Dying...

i did suggest tho that since there were a lot of bands featured, it would be difficult to cram so many myspace addresses on the end of the article, so i perhaps they could point interested persons in the direction of my blog so that i could run my full length article and provide links to each of the bands mentioned.

enjoy.....



Uncovering the Enfield Undergound


Have you heard about the Enfield Underground?


This isn't a plan for a tube station in our fair town but probably the most loved scene among our boroughs musical tribes.


Ok, so i may have just grouped together a bunch of like minded bands in a rather journalistic fashion to create a nice catch-all term, but the ends justifies the means if it makes it possible to shift this columns focus to some of the heavier bands around.


And I can't even claim to have coined the term Enfield Underground, when Mark Riley organised a gig at Bar Form in April under the banner The Enfield Underground... Overground, featuring Syn-X, Sokit and Unexpected, the appeal of these bands was apparent and the name seemed to be rather appropriate.


It is all large riffage, pounding drums, Famous Stars and Straps t-shirts and maniacally screaming vocals for the most part... not always to everyones taste and quite unfairly overlooked by your local rag... until now.


Heading up my list of personal favourites from the scene are Deeds Of The Dying and Sokit, both full of youthful ambition and genuine talent that only seems to grow with every gig they get under their belts.


9blind have been making waves right across the scene with their latest long-player 'A Negative Response To Change', that was released earlier this year, and blisteringly well received recent live shows.



And Syn X are yet another local band that have inspired savage devotion with their ridiculously hard n fast playing.


Edging away from the borders of screamo, a new EP has recently been released by From Great Height that takes the ever popular metal template and heightens it with searing elements of 70's prog-rock, while for a more FM friendly style you should look in the direction of Enemy Planet, a female fronted band that rock out in a style similar to Paramore, with catchy hooks.


Other names to keep an eye out also include Unexpected, Saifa, Trucida, Folly and Atlas Breaks The Sky.


Many of the bands mentioned share their fan-base, share the same bills and in some cases also share the same band members, cultivating a fanatic sense of community among everyone that frequents their gigs, either onstage or off.


For now I can only provide the briefest overview of a number of the bands but with future columns I will look a little closer at a handfull of these acts that have been rocking the suburbs.

you've gotta, you've gotta, you've gotta fake it!!

this week has indeed seen my eventual return to the pages of the Enfield Advertiser, picking up with my feature on Room 9, although i thought they was intending on publishing the following article to coincide with the rather forgettable Fake Festival that it appears that nobody actually went to...

here's hoping this one will make it to print eventually as i think it raises some good points....




i was intrigued to find out quite how succesful Enfield's 'Fake Festival' could possibly be.


but since nobody from their press office responded to any of my enquiries about covering the event for the paper i'm afraid there isn't much more i can tell you.


i certainly wasn't willing to spend £25 (or £30 on the door) to see three tribute acts in a local park, and i wondered how many other people would have spent out on it considering everyone i had spoken to shared my stance on the ticket price.


even tickets for under 18s would have been setting them back £20.


taking into consideration the fact that there were 5 other support acts playing throughout the afternoon including a couple of specially picked local bands, it still felt like this was a disproportionate charge.


The biggest question though, should be that if Enfield can have a 'Fake Festival', why can't we have a real music festival?


We definetly have more than enough willing bands operating in our borough to fill up a whole weekend, my previous articles looking at local acts and coverage of gigs held by Rock For Change and Bar Form are quite clearly testament to this.


Teenagers and young adults across Enfield are clamouring to go out and enjoy themselves whenever they are able to do so, discovering new experiences and new music, so it is such a shame that Enfield Town's first ever dedicated music festival amounts to a handful of tribute acts, hardly something for anybody to be getting excited about.

Teenagers and young adults are clamouring to go out and discover new music, so it is such a shame that Enfield Town's first ever dedicated music festival amounts to a handful of tribute acts, hardly a reason for anybody to get excited.


The passion to support music shown by under 18s is still so strong despite having few oppurtunities to attend gigs locally and they would certainly lively up a field, while those above the legal drinking age would also relish a decent festival on their doorsteps and likely keep beer tents busy all day long.


mix in a few up and coming acts with a known reputation and, although being far from Hyde Park standards, Enfield could have a festival to really be proud of.


and if success provides a scope to stage such a thing annually


i couldn't possibly comment on the logistics of such an event, but surely we have the performers and the passion to make such a thing a real possiblity.



.

not wanting to get sued

and as promised here is that review of last week's Sel-Out gig, keep you eyes peeled cos a cut down version should be appearing in the local rag soonish


Sel-Out 2 @ Bar Form 18.03.10


People that go along to gigs, have a couple of drinks and catch a handful of live acts often have no idea of the time, effort and worry that goes into putting on even the smallest of events.

And the second Sel-Out held at Bar Form is certainly no exception.

Selma Ramadan is having to deal with one bassist not being able to get out of work early enough for soundchecks, DJs that have gone house-hunting, another bassist having to leave the gig early so he can get to his nightshift despite the fact his band are due to be headlining , and a solo artist calling in sick and cancelling completely .

this is just some of the shit that a promoter has to deal with.

which all comes after the initial complications of trying to book bands and chasing bands that don't return your emails, arranging that there will enough kit to be shared onstage and also holding down a full-time job.

and unless you've got a well known and well respected established event that will thrive purely on reputation alone you also need to text everyone in your phone, email everyone in your address book and make all your facebook friends aware that you need them to come out and show their support.

and you also hope that everyone else involved has been doing the same.



And so, at 8 o'clock on a dreary Thursday evening in Enfield Town, the doors are thrown open for the night to begin.

It’s just a shame that a handful of punters are more punctual than the DJs due to kick off the night.

But by the time Benjamin Darius Ralph steps onto the stage some of these stresses are forgotten as his soothing acoustic solo show flits between original tracks and a number of cherry picked covers.

Room 9 usually like to rock out but tonight they are a man down so instead they bring a stripped back set of songs to Bar Form, anyone that thought this would hinder the act are proved wrong as Room 9 swiftly impress everyone in attendance with a laid back sound and astounding vocals that make you wonder if a full-scale set could ever be any better than the unique and intimate performance being put on tonight.



and in a strange twist of circumstances, Getaway, a band that didn't even have a name when they confirmed to play this, their debut gig, have found themselves plucked from second on a bill of four acts, and have had the daunting task of headlining thrust upon them.

and if there were any nerves, it certainly didn't show as the trio carve themselves a sonic identity that takes its influences from roughly 40 years of rock n roll history filtered down to a memorable 25 minute set, mixed up with diverting aside of self-proclaimed 'Essex hip-hop', and finished off with a rocking bluesy number.

And although the financial rewards are rarely enough to cover costs, the sense of achievement provides satisfaction enough and it’s the risk takers that continue putting on gigs and showcasing bands that keep the music scene alive.

nope, wrong Jimmy Chan

don't bother looking for I am Jimmy Chan on Youtube.

you won't find him.

you can find him on myspace

and if you like what you hear there you can also find I am Jimmy Chan at Bar Form tonight

edit: he has had to cancel due to illness, instead i shall have to settle for watching a continuous loop of the video above, and i haven't even got any Die Antwoord burnt, oh it really is a sad time for me

it's the return of Sel-Out and this time it is bringing along Form favourite Benjamin Darius Ralph, Getaway, the aforementioned I Am Jimmy Chan and headlined by Room 9.

and helping you get your rocks off between live sets will be DJs Cats Like Felix Like Felix and Who Put The Ram In The Rama Lama Ding Dong (i may have made up their DJ names) and of course the inevitable Bubblegum Stomp collective.

Heads up!! Sel-Out 2!!

so have you got plans for this week?

cos another Sel-Out is gonna be hitting Bar Form this thursday, Bubblegum Stomp will again be handling DJ duties and there are a handful of bands on hand to entertain.

i could go on and on about this, but i think this flyer pretty much says everything you need to know



obviously you'll hear plenty about it afterwards cos i will be sharpening my journalistic mind in preperation for a review and i am bloody excited about finally getting a chance to see I am Jimmy Chan live!!

but don't just relive it with me, come down and live it yourself. this thursday. thanks

Thomas Millet: 'I am the Enfield scene!!!'

music in Enfield realy seems to have had a kick up the arse recently, with the Rock For Change gigs showcasing bands, strong acts like Paris Rabone, Deeds Of The Dying and Kids Uncanny shining through, and more gigs upcoming, like the second Sel-Out @ Bar Form, 9 Blind's album launch @ The Bush Hill Park Tavern and Rock For Change's big gig at Millfield


and so we proceed, with another submitted Enfield Advertiser article and another Enfield talent...


Those Handsome Animals @ Bar Form 19.02.10


Bob Dylan sang that 'The time's they are a-changing'

Thomas Millet sang that 'i hope tonight's the night that she won't have a headache'

in just a few short years, Retro Crooks had become an Enfield mainstay, and it was usual to find me and my girlfriend drunkenly dancing by the front of the stage whenever they played their anthem of teenage yearning, 'Waiting Games'.

but like Robert Allen Zimmerman reminds us, things can't always stay the same, and Retro Crooks called it a day last December.

despite this, Thomas Millet has been hanging around the Enfield music scene like schoolkids will always hang around outside McDonalds after half three on a schoolday.

Music is an itch he needed to scratch, and helping to give him a good rub are Crooks former drummer Gary Batt and ex-Waterloos guitarist, Gavin Hankins.

together they formed Those Handsome Animals.

The obligitary myspace and facebook group has been set up, a couple of demos are online already and everything was building up towards unveiling their new material live at the new band's very first gig.

Those in attendance were treated to a short set of songs detailing the price of following trends, the collonising of mars and liasons with a lady of the night, as well as their newest new song that was barely 2 hours old, all delivered with the usual dry English humour and wit that Retro Crooks fans had come to expect.

Millet's familiar yelping singing style still stands firm, backed by an 80's esque alt-indie-pop sound that brings to mind Orange Juice and The Cure, but given a post-modern tilt when the vocal delivery leans towards that of Art Brut's Eddie Argos.

squeeling surf punk guitars ring out and the drums pound, the frenetic energy is dizzying as songs slip from a rock n roll standard into chaotic assault on the ears and the joyful pop sheen is torn asunder by ravaged guitars.

And those gathered in Bar Form have witnessed the return of Thomas Millet and the birth of Enfield's newest musical hope.

Published at last!!

so my latest review for The Enfield Advertiser finally saw the light of day! written up and submitted before christmas and kept on hold til now

oh well, these things happen

and for those allergic to newsprint (or just not local enough to recieve the paper) here is a link to the digital copy (flick to page 22) and the full article runs below

The Shindig Addicts @ Bar Form's Christmas Carnival 18.09.09
or as the paper titled it
County Girl back in town for a Shindig



Joan was once a school girl, adorned in a familiar green blazer.

then known to family, friends and teachers as Natalia Anderson, she grew up in Tottenham and attended Enfield County Girl's School.

but she now fronts the upbeat indie scenesters, The Shindig Addicts.

the line up is completed by Bruno and Dimitri, currently holed up in East London, practising, perfecting their sound and preparing to head into the studio to record their debut EP in January.

already making waves across London, the unsigned band were back on Joan's old stomping ground performing at Bar Form in Enfield Town as part of a free Christmas Carnival bringing together a number of local bands at a price that is much appreciated after all that recent wallet busting gift shopping

on a bill that also included singer-songwriter, Ben Darius Ralph, beat-boxer Dee Sharp and bands G.I. Joseph, Broken Mile and The Black Tricks, Form's promoter, Jade’s House, packed alot of talent into the small bar in just one night.

Kicking off with Select My 6, the pace and energy of the band throughout the short set was rampant, with all eyes on Joan as she bounced around with an energy that commands your attention instantly.

The strong female fronted group is reminiscent of Skunk Anansie blended with the early punkier incarnation of No Doubt, an influence referenced by their choice of festive singalong, a cover of a cover of The Vandals '96 Christmas rarity Oi To The World!.

with a playfull demeanor and an anarchic yet melodic sound, Shindig Addicts certainly capture the spirit of partying that their name alludes to, with Joan seemingly unable to stand still and constantly dancing, and when the audience acts coy and won’t come to her, she insists on going to them.

The short set is highly charged and jovial and the fun comes to an end all too soon as they bow out with the lively Not Long Now, a rollicking catchy indie number and a suitable set closer.

And despite the fact that those that remember Natalia will now find Joan in her place, i’m certain Enfield won’t soon forgot The Shindig Addicts.

art: a slideshow

there isn't much to say now that hasn't already been said, today is the last day of the three day Form Fest at Bar Form, and those arriving from 6 will be able to view the sculptures created by my brother and a small display of my own photography, as i mentioned in yesterdays post

i'm hoping that is all the reminder anyone will need so i'll leave you with a slideshow that takes a little look inside the creative process my brother undertook as he began work on some new sculptures especially for Form Fest



and just like normal publications and newspapers, i need to print a retraction and apologise for my little moan about The Enfield Advertiser the other day...

for even tho it was the Advertiser that rang me in order to contact Ian, and it was the Advertiser that sent a photographer round, the article was actually printed in the Advertiser's sister paper, this week's Enfield Gazette!!!

a rather well informed and informative article! we got there eventually, eh?



click on the article itself for a larger view, and the eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that one of the sculptures pictured with my brother in the article is the same one started in the above slideshow, it all ties together neatly in the end!

and to see the conclusion of all this hard work, displays of both my brother's scultures and my own photography can be viewed from 6ish til 8ish tonight at Bar Form, Enfield Town

so one last time, for luck, here's that familiar flyer



(click the flyer for a larger view)

everything is borrowed

and since i've dedicated a fair share of this week's posts to banging on about Form Fest at Bar Form i think it's only fair that i allow myself a little time to indulge in self-promotion

at last weeks Sel-Out! when me and my brother were discussing the art exhibition due to take place there was mention that apparently not many artists and fashion types had actually put themselves forward, i don't tend to shout about what i do very often but it started playing on my mind that perhaps i should include some of my photography in order to bulk out the so-called art and fashion shows that so far only had one artist

so i put forward my intentions last friday, got the nod last sunday and then found myself volunteered to exhibit and only having a week to get anything together!

luckily, my life quite often seems to just fall into place and even with such short notice i have managed to pull together pretty much everything needed to put on a competent display of my work that was actually so much better than i imagined it could have been

this post includes afew of the photos that didn't make it into my final choices, i thought i'd put them up as a little taster of what to expect






the exhibition runs from 6 (ish) til 8 (ish) tomorrow at Bar Form, Enfield Town
costing just £2 entry which but will get you in for a whole evening of entertainment including a music quiz and bands playing live



and i'm actually gonna be there tonight in a musical capacity, DJing with the Bubblegum Stomp crew from 10pm

full details of everything goin on can be found here, in a post nabbed from facebook

read all about it...

Local artist, Ian Byford to exhibit his work at Enfield Town Bar
Sculptures on display at Bar Form on Sunday 2nd August

Ian Byford has been picked as one of a small number of artists to display their work at Bar Form, Genotin Road, as part of Form Fest, a three day mini-festival that will showcase music, art and fashion.

Born in Enfield and currently living in Waltham Cross, Ian Byford, 23, works in a variety of mediums, including sculpture, photography, digital art and writing. Often his sculptures are composed of materials either found or donated, or bought from charity shops and he has recently been working on a multi-media project entitled ‘Distopeian Scrapbook’ that tells the stories of individuals living in a not too distant future that is far from perfect.

The ‘Distopeian Scrapbook’ will be represented by a number of works that will be on display at Bar Form, including new sculptures that have been created especially for the Form Fest exhibition and a limited number of mini-comics have been written and produced that will be available free, exclusively at the event.

More art, works in progress and the Distopeian Scrapbook so far can be viewed on www.ianbyfordart.blogspot.com


Ian Byford will be exhibiting his work from 6pm – 8pm on Sunday 2nd August at Bar Form, Genotin Road.

ok, so The Enfield Advertiser disapointingly overlooked my brother and his exhibition so i thought i'd use my initiative and publish an online article so you all know what's going on this weekend, actually it's more like a copy and paste of my press release which is pretty much what 'journalists' at local papers do anyway

and since Bar Form seemed to be coming up a little bit short on artists i decided that i'd exhibit some of my photography alongside my brother's sculptures (cos he's not the only talented one in the family y'know) to help em out, so i have been hastily putting together my own display, so head down to Bar Form this weekend for a three day mini-festival kicking off tomorrow, featuring the fantabulous Bubblegum Stomp DJing on Saturday and artsy stuff from both me and my brother on Sunday



(click the flyer for a larger view)

i read the news today, oh boy...

and was all that hard work really worth it?

today my brother's face and sculptures were gonna be featured in The Enfield Advertiser as a prelude to his exhibition at Bar Form on Sunday, so i thought i'd rush out and buy one so i could get the feature scanned in and uploaded without having to wait for the paper to be delivered

except the newsagent didn't have it yet either, so i thought, 'sod that feeling of pride when you open a newspaper and see a family member (as long as it's good news), we are living in the future now, i'm gonna get online and read the digital copy'

so i flicked through the digital pages, and i kept flicking, and i even kept flicking when i got to the houses and cars and classifieds and the sport incase it had been misplaced by the editor, and then i went back and flicked through again incase i'd missed it

and i can't see it anywhere


such a shame after i spent the time writing an informative press release complete with examples of Ian's work, and that they rung to speak to him about his influences and even sent a photographer round to get some pictures for the feature.

such a shame they chose to overlook a local artist displaying his works in Enfield Town and spread the word a little in order to support someone putting their heart into what they want to do instead of jus being chewed up by the rat-race

instead you can look at some old people painting and read about an exhibition already in its 61st year that by the looks of the article sounds rather well attended anyway





well done Enfield Advertiser for supporting new talent!!




by way of consolation tho, u can order the pics from the shoot on a get well soon card



if YOU want to support new talent you can come along to the exhibition at Bar Form this Sunday where a number of sculptures will be on display from 6pm, entrance is £2 but that will get you in for a whole evening of entertainment including a music quiz and bands playing live




(click the flyer for a larger view)

and don't forget Bubblegum Stomp will be DJing as part of Saturday nights FREE line-up

evidence

i've gotta feeling that this weeks blogging is gonna be rather heavy on Bar Form references as possibly the only place worth going in Enfield gets even more interesting with the launch of the first ever Form Fest this friday

but before we start looking forward, lets have a little recap of last week shall we?

if you want photos of the bands performing you can get your fix over at www.ianbyfordart.blogspot.com, i was also armed with my camera, but only came away from the evening with three photos (of which i only took 2)

so i thought i might aswell upload them and give you a slightly different perspective of Sel-Out!











and true to my word, there shall be more shenanigans at Bar Form which i shall now shamelessly plug and i promise you won't have heard the last of

so maybe i'll keep it brief for now and bombard you all again later, but here's the basics:

a three day festival of music, art, fashion and entertainment
running from friday 31st til sunday 2nd

you can catch Bubblegum Stomp on the decks on saturday and my little brother shall be displaying his sculpture and artwork as a part of sundays programme

the rest of the info you'll need is on this flyer!



(click the flyer for a larger view)

tonight's the night

i don't think there's much more to be said about it if you haven't taken the hints so far

take one last look at the flyers and if you want any more info (like band links, etc) it's all here



and we'll see you there

Heads Up!! Sel-Out!!

Stuffs is happening at Bar Form in Enfield Town very soon!!

Bubblegum Stomp's very own Selmador is heading up a new live band night next thursday, 23rd July!

of course Bubblegum Stomp shall be DJing, sharing deck duties with members of Retro Crooks!

and there are three live bands, all making their debut performances at Bar Form, they are The Jacks, Ben Darius Ralph and The Fetts!

and incase you didn't understand any of that, here is a flyer that pretty much says the same thing!!



you got that, thursday 23rd, from 8, £4 entry.

good.


and Bubblegum Stomp shall also be joining in the fun of Form Fest, Bar Form's very own 3 day mini festival that shall encompass art, fashion and music.

featuring, among other things, exhibitions, live bands, DJs, a quiz and a BBQ, the Form Fest kicks off on Friday 31st.

among all that cultured goodness shall be an exhibition ofartwork and sculptures from my brother on sunday 2nd, and also DJ sets from Bubblegum Stomp over the weekend.
