It’s been a while…….

since I last blogged but I have stuff to tell you now so it’s all good. Well I guess I had to wait until I had something just as cool as The Heavy show to talk about and by god I think I’ve done it! On the 29th Of January I played at Pressure-Drop which is a night run by Birmingham Ska outfit Tempting Rosie who’s main goal is to put on an eclectic and positive night of music. I arrived at the venue alone and had no idea what to do with myself but by the end of the night I had made loads of new friends from the other bands.

I was up first, I kept it up beat and funky and had a good time playing. Next up was Fistful of Dynamite these guys are the quintessential party band, they just tore the place apart with amazing funk and hip hop. Every song had a hook you just couldn’t get enough of be that from the keyboard, bass drums or brass. Next up were the hosts of the evening and they took it to another level. The sheer energy that they displayed was an awesome sight, the end of their set saw the whole place skankin and Ewan the over animated trumpet player stood on the bar playing out of his skin which is impressive considering he played in Fistful of Dynamite as well. I ended up talking with Craig from Fistful of Dynamite until the wee small hours about how much we love what we do and after playing nights like this it’s easy to see why.
