The start of an ongoing British tour ...
South coast visitations and salutations from Badgertrap (from Bristol), Pete Gioconda (nowLondon, exBristol, exBrighton), Gavin Goliath Clegg (northern now-London drywit-ukeplayer), The Magpies with singer-bassist Piers Wildman (Bournemouth, exWinchester, exBrighton), Dane Cobain (London) ... more even. Local/ guest poets DJs cabaret where we can fit it.
We're touring at the start of April with a merry line of bands and solo artists, mixed in a Fugsian way across acts, inc semi-surreal badger band Badgertrap, from Bristol, myself Pete Gioconda (raw tuneful solo poetic mode) - plus some talented oddballs we've picked up along the way.
We're playing -
Brighton (The Hydrant)
- Sun Apr 1st (our April Fool's Night Party) - FREE entry free parting gifts (while stocks last) - creative receipts to be traded. "Bring your own mind." Planning to livestream it ourselves.
Bournemouth (On The Rocks)
- Wed Apr 4th. Entry FREE or cheap TBA.
Portsmouth (RMA Tavern, as part of Nick Courtney's "Play" night)
- Thurs Apr 5th (just Badgertrap 10.45pm + Pete Gioconda 10.15pm on this one, but tons of great local bands, for FREE!). Live stream video I believe.
The sounds and appearances within each artist's own work are all varied, as well as without it, including spontaneous excited energies, music and words.

(+ We have lots of pretty sorted online profiles in all the main slots.)
Badgertrap and I have been on BBC Introducing Bristol a few times, inc. in session. Badgertrap came second in BBC3 TV's Upstaged in Bristol (2008) with lots of wild antics in a big glass box, and the cameramen in stitches.
