Huzza! I am a feat.
Anyway. There are some videos of me performing with Laurence Made Me Cry last weekend. You can even see me have to plug my Game Boy back in.

First here are some pictures credit to New Sound Wales:
Many thanks to Jo (LMMC) etc. There are some videos of her full set and I will link to those shortly, you can see me go “The Full Edge” as some-one pointed hat. I personally think the beanie hat and delay pedal needs to be taken back from that man.. but hey.
Finally I made up some CDs of new tracks/live tracks as I only played a short set and wanted to give people something that sounded at least a little bit similar to Alone Live (ie.. not like Fizzing). I have a few left! So it is up on bandcamp! £3 in the UK £4 to Euro and the rest of the world. You can stream it too. One they are gone its gone.
Edit: All goness
Next Monday (11th March) Laurence Made Me Cry, folk/electronic/diy project of Cardiff songstress Jo Whitby, finally releases her debut album ‘The Diary of Me’. There are several reasons you should care about this. The first reason is that it is a stunning, varied and overly beautiful listen, dragging you through out-the-window pondering, to stalking to abstract dreamscapes.
The second reason is Jo has made something that not only celebrates the connected world we live in today, but uses it to her advantage, pulling in guests and friends from across the world to contribute words, music and narration. The album is bursting with ideas that tumble out of every corner. Like a worn family album, full of pictures of friends and memories. It was also funded by contributors the world over! Can’t get anymore modern/diy than that really..
The final reason you should care is one of those contributors is myself, adding the ol’ bleeps, a few bloops and at least three booow noises to a couple of tracks on the album.
Listen/Order:
This Saturday marks the record release party at Buffalo, Cardiff, from 7pm til 10pm. It’s going to be special. Not only am I supporting (with an almost entirely new set too. oooh ahhh.. I’ll be the guy without the acoustic instrument..) alongside Salwa Azar and Pulco, but will be alongside Jo to play live versions of some of the tracks, with other contributors. It’s pretty much going to be the only time this is going to happen. We’ve been noodling, exchanging tracks and laughing as my NES fails to stay in tune.
It will be a good night. Come. Buy the album. Support your local artist(s).
Finally, I had some lovely feedback after Dorkbot, as well as selling out of that exclusive ‘Live in the Litter Tray’ CD. I will have the sequel with me, as well as the famous Alone luxury fruit and nut tip jar.
