Kunt and the Gang

Kunt and the Gang, playing at the Bristol Pear, Selly Oak, Birmingham, 7 May 2008. I am advised it should be good, or if not, rather interesting.

I plan to attend with Dame Susi O'Neill.

Two Dorian Woods

From the Friends of the Stars blog, which has songs to listen to:

In the late 1990s in California Dorian Wood decided to track down his worldwide namesakes using the interweb and eventually got in touch with Birmingham-based Dorian Wood. Finding someone who shares your slightly out-of-the-ordinary name on the other side of the globe would be one thing, but to find out that you are both involved in the creation of strange and beautiful music is something quite altogether different.

DORIAN WOOD (USA)

His recently-released Bolka album is without doubt one of the best things we’ve all heard in a long time and really, really deserves to be heard by a much wider audience. Dorian has a voice that is really beautiful and he writes songs that call to mind Rufus Wainwright, The Blind Boys of Alabama and Anthony Hegarty - all rolled into one.

DORIAN WOOD (UK)

One half of the marvellous and frightening TeaTowel, the Friends of the Stars remixer of choice and the man behind the world’s only and best Happy Hardcore covers band, Pete_Prescription. Dorian will be playing brand new compositions freshly minted in his Kings Heath studio so expect Krautrock, Melody, Noise or something else entirely.

Free entry if your name is Dorian Wood.

Drinking on a School Night

In the interests of full disclosure I'm posting this as a favour for a friend. It may well be fantastic. I know Dave's a good soul if that counts for anything.
