Ding ding ding!
Well ladies and gentleman, it’s getting towards that time. There is only tonight in Peterborough, tomorrow in Sheffield and finally Saturday in Newcastle left of Ben’s tenure with this band. That’s right, the final night of Ben C on guitar and vocals within in the band they call the Boom is this Sunday evening in Newcastle. So let us savour the flavour over these three final gigs and hopefully Newcastle will turn out to be the send off he deserves. There are still tickets on the door at all the shows so please come down and show your faces! Cake, gifts and gratuities will be gratefully accepted over in Newcastle. Salut!
Once the inevitable hangovers and headaches have dispersed, there is still the business of getting on with being the Boom. To that end, Dr Rock has prescribed a full European tour in support of the Levellers in November with Mr Matt Reynolds taking over on guitar duties. A baptism of fire! All the dates are up on our MySpace HERE and you can go and check out the Levellers over at their site HERE.
Meanwhile, back on the internet we’ve picked up the following notables. Over at the TAKE THE RED PILL webzine there is a cool feature and review of the Birmingham gig along with some awesome musings about the punk and ska thing and Rebel Alliance. Check it out HERE.
Last Saturday’s acoustic set (supporting Franz Ferdinand no less!) at Clint Boon’s ‘Mrs Boon’s Tea Party’ has been recorded for posterity at TINCAN.tv with a write up and video of ‘Rasputin’. Check it out HERE.
Also on Tincan is an interview with Neil the Madfish; a probing cross-examination that includes his controversial thoughts on the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre and the details of Neil’s three favourite country walks. Sit back with a bowl of ice-cream and enjoy it HERE. Mmmm, some ‘me’ time.
Well, well, well, that’s that. See you in Newcastle if not before! ;)
