Too much to do...

Ooh, there should have been millions of posts recently but I haven't had time to do any.  I'm seriously considering Twittering so I can just do the odd line here and there, though I much prefer pontificating at length.  But here's some bits and pieces...

My old band from the 1980s, the Sinister Cleaners will be playing their first gig since er, 1987 at the Parish in Huddersfield on Saturday 13th April 2013.

I've been 'in the studio laying down some tracks' with Simon who used to be the Wedding Present's drummer back in the day - been recording some new songs, Neil from Chumbas at the controls...Andrew from the above mentioned Sinister Cleaners 'dropped by' and did some bits too.

My new album is all edited and mastered and ready to be manufactured.

I'm playing my first solo gig in ages at the White Rose Centre in Leeds on Saturday 9th March - I'm on at about 3.45 though there are top turns on all day - helping raise money for the MS Society.

And some brief music opinions...went to the NME tour thang at the O2 in Leeds recently - Miles Kane was incomprehensible - i.e. I saw no musical value whatsoever - though the drummer was good.  I just didn't get it at all...just dull.  Meanwhile Django Django unexpectedly put on a massive show and were ace.  In fact...I'll make time in another post for them...and for Jake Bugg...
