D-rad tour update #23 (D-rad Video Tour Diary #5)

Here's the latest D-rad Video Tour Diary! It features a banging house party in Bishop, California- at the lovely Tricia's house no less (the first commentor on this very blog).



Also, D-rad are playing at Pinkout @ Club Velbloud in Budweis, Czech Republic tonight. That is, providing their transport crisis is averted. Last time I heard the band were stranded somewhere in Europe (not the Czech Republic) as their van broke down and to complicate matters the van is so unique that the only place which can supply parts to fix the problem is in Liverpool... so fingers crossed guys. I know the parts have been sent to them double-quick time... so good luck there guys!

UH OHs Tour Update #3 (plus JAS update)

UH OHs are at the Norwich Arts Centre tonight with Pulled Apart By Horses. I think this should be a really cracking gig.



Also, did anyone hear UH OHs on Huw Stephens BBC Radio 1 show last night? Huw played "I Cant Wait" on his show. Nice work guys!

Oh and our Texan wunderkind, John Allen Stephens is also playing at The Meridian on Sunday in Houston. We're catering for all nations!

It's a veritable Norwich invasion as The Kabeedies, Violet Violet and Fever Fever are playing too! This is the first date in the UH OHs tour so get on the band wagon if you're in London tonight. I'd be there myself if I wasn't suffering from a man cold.



Oh and the art-cards are back from the printers, so expect the advance copies on sale at the next few UH OHs dates.

D-rad tour update #21

D-rad is playing at Rog in Ljubljana, Slovenia tonight. If you just happen to be in Slovenia... then why not head over to Rog to catch his set!

Psychic TV 3 Review

Neon Mussolini (aka Simon Elliot), Joe Mason (Frisco Farr), James de Ara (the best photographer I know) and I went to the PTV3 gig last month. It was sensational, so me and James decided to try and shop my lacklustre writing with his great photo's to some music magazines. I think we left it a little too late... either that or my writing is well shit (probably) as no-one picked it up. So I thought I'd slap it up on the Little Power blog.

Psychic TV 3
@ Bardens Boudoir
Sunday May 17th

This third incarnation of Psychic TV, PTV3, played their only UK tour date to a sold out Bardens Boudoir. This lone date is presumably in reflection of Genesis P Orridge’s self-imposed exile from the UK, an exile which begun some seventeen years ago. If you are unfamiliar with vocalist Genesis P Orridge you could be forgiven for mistaking his hobbling figure, dashing through the early comers at Bardens to the backstage area, as that of a shy and slightly crazy, bag lady. For the uninitiated, Orridge is an iconic musical pioneer often regarded as one of the founding figures of industrial music with his other band Throbbing Gristle, but also now infamous for his “pandrogyny”. This “pandrogyny” was an artistic project which saw the surgical modification of Orridge and his now sadly deceased wife (and former PTV3 member) Lady Jaye, with the intended conclusion being a blur in distinction between their respective genders, so that both lovers meet in a genderless middle ground. Hence the silicone breasts on his heavily tattooed body and having a face which screams “facial surgery” more than Mickey Rourke’s.

All this aside, Orridge’s vocals are an acquired taste, his voice so unique, but tonight if you “get” what s/he does then Orridge is flawless. When PTV3’s anti-war song “Higher And Higher” kicks in, the band is in full flight with Orridge gesticulating wildly at the front or miming shooting the front row with an invisible machine gun. The frantic pace is lowered for “New York Story” which is played in memory of Lady Jaye, while behind the band a video screen displays images of her and Orridge in a psychedelic montage of post-surgery bandages and fetish wear.

“Papal Breakdance” later in the set shows just how powerful PTV3 is live, with its explosive chorus and Lou Reed’s “Foggy Notion” (with a spacey jam in the middle) ends the night.

Something more for the weekend?

Tonight UH OHs are co-hosting the BBC Norfolk Introducing Radio Show. Sounds like it should be sweet. They're on at 19:00 and right after that they're dashing over to the Mustard Lounge in Norwich to DJ from 22:00...



If you're in London tonight and need some muzak, then LR Rockets are @ Club Fandango at The Wilmington Arms...



They're also at Club Blub in Bishops Stortford on Sunday...




Have a good weekend.

P.S. I've heard a brand new John Allen Stephens song... wow. I can't wai to share with you his album!

D-rad tour update #20

It looks like the D-rad gig at The Old Blue Last isn't going ahead tonight as Luke's still in France.

Luke says this, "YEAH STILL IN FRANCE AGAIN, PROB JUST GONNA LIKE, VISIT CASTLES, EAT PAIN AU CHOCOLAT AND SWIM AND SHIT."

I think it's fair to say The Old Blue Last gig is off then!

Although D-rad is playing in Delft, Zuid-Holland in the Netherlands for a gig at Koornbeurs on Saturday...



And is at Oui in France on Sunday. Grenoble, Rhône-Alpes to be precise...
