I keep forgetting I can post audio here! This one time I played a concert for a punk festival in a parking lot that got shut down by the police because all the other acts were like, proper punk rock bands who make noise and stuff and I was just some dingus with an acoustic guitar, a pickup, and a dream. It went kinda weirdly for me because I was barely prepared, but for my first performance ever I think it went alright! Here's one of the songs from it I'm more proud of - the arrangement of this live is much more upbeat than the psychedelicey version on my EP Blue, and I kinda prefer it to that sometimes.
2022 wrapped: Clicky Goes to a Bunch of Live Shows Edition.
Shows in question being: Wooden Overcoats, The Live Shows (and the post-show mingling which was essentially the closest thing to a convention I’ve ever been to before), Foil Arms and Hog on their Swines tour, Reading Rep doing Midsummer Night’s Dream, Bellowhead on their Broadside tour, and the Muppet Christmas Carol with live orchestra doing the music.
Featuring me with Sam Sweeney, who appears to be terrified of me, and Beth Eyre, who I appear to be terrified of, or at least very flushed and jittery in the presence of. And Beth again, because I went to see her doing some Shakespeare in Reading and she was nice enough to hang out with me for a bit afterwards, which I was (and still am) embarrassingly, inordinately thrilled about.
I’m somewhat biased because I’ve got a crush you can see from space, but she comes off as a genuinely delightful, sweet-natured sort of person who goes out of her way to be lovely to fans. The first time we met she asked for my name so she could make her signature out to me and it was all I could do to smile politely and make a valiant effort to remember what it was. I liked her more than I can say.
(Should also mention for clarity that the rest of the WO cast and crew were also absolutely lovely and great fun to be around. I didn’t get any pictures with them because I’m a lazy fuck.)
But I did get what can best be described as a drive-by selfie with Sam Sweeney when he was signing things, whose solo music I only discovered that evening and I absolutely love it. It’s very uplifting and made me light up inside, and I’d very much recommend his album Escape That for anyone who’s into instrumental folk stuff. It was also very exciting to briefly meet one of the Bellowhead guys, I’ve been a fan of theirs for a decade now and it was lovely to see them live. For the third time. So not quite as momentous but still fantastic. He had cool trainers which lit up.
Overall it was the best series of shows I could have gone to and the best entertainment-industry people I could have mingled with. 100/10, wouldn’t change a thing, except maybe the opportunity to get a picture with a guy in a Kermit suit which would have rounded things off nicely, I think.
At long last, So Long, and Thanks For All the Fucks: Live at Jammin' Java is out in the world!
And if you buy it today, Bandcamp Friday (Oct. 6, 2023 - or any future Bandcamp Friday), more of what you spend goes directly to the band.
This album is full of our legendary banter and laughs, and it includes the never-before-recorded "Blood Moon Blues."
There are two versions of the album you can buy: One comes with a downloadable & streamable, 47-minute, professionally-shot-and-edited highlights video from the show, and the other is audio-only. Make sure you choose the version you want when you buy!
