Sunday 23 October

Ladyfest, dude! Best fucking gig I’ve been to in Brighton since…I honestly can’t remember when. Man it was so fun. man I was so tired. Man there were so many cool and disparate musical sounds, and noise, and chatter, and cake, and friends, and crazed Japanese duos leading everyone in a merry festive haze, and cool Olympia sorts, and respect, and banter, and walking, and spooky Kate Bush-style virtuosos, and manic improv, and laidback improv, and emotional French singers, and bouncing, and dervishes, and…

MAN OH MAN! I HAD A FUCKING BLAST!

Hearty congratulations to everyone involved. I’ll write more when my head isn’t swimming quite so.

There was actually another very good gig down in Brighton on Friday night. Kicking K said it was the best gig he’d been to all year. Shame you missed it! It was put on by this great magazine called Plan B…

So you were made welcome then? Your fears that you would be set upon and castrated by hordes of rampaging lesbians with excellent taste in music did not come to fruition?

Dammit. Maybe next year.

Ladyfest Brighton was awesome. Mr. True looked very hot wearing that big coat.
ILL EASE in particular were amazing. Sad I missed Blood Red Shoes at The Candy Bar

Hello:
I went to the Spanish Ladyfest the last weekend and it was great. Spider And The Webs, Web Dog and Hello Cuca (the best spanish live band at the moment) were my favourites. But the brightest star was Ana Da Silva. Her show was marvellious, finishing with "Fairtale in Supermarket".

I was down the road watching PTR dance like a big spooky harlequin and do the siamese yowl, and Kevin Blechdom reaching deep into her chest and producing a large ox’s heart. It couldn’t have been much better. If it had, the heart might have started beating again, and then where would be? Covered in disembodied ox-heart blood… and that would have put a cramp on my wonderful evening.
