a gig for mammoth fortress at the newly opened (and extremely gravelike) liquid nation. we have a new drummer – alex! takes the heat off me plying my drums in time… gonna start concentrating on playing gigs in places where people actually go, people with a mild interest in cyeklederrick music. and get some big batty basslines too. thanks to super sinister for the photos!
seriously gnarly pictures
secret garden party
possibly the greatest festival on the calendar! not least because 98% of people i know were there… interspersed neatly with a wedding job in cambridge, which was a truly surreal 5 hours but made going back the the festival a truly wonderful moment.
