Hello folks. How are we?

Some new bits and bobs for your eyes and ears. For youtube linkage, there is now a bit of a fun video for Sweets:

NEVEMBER


Cheers, ahoy and shut up! to everyone who joined us in Brighton on Saturday. It was a blast. We only planned to DJ, but ended up dusting off our guitars and beats and even tried out a couple of new tunes for the first time in a while.

And look at Lee in his fitting tribute to those of you that were at Carter USM instead:



(Lee + Les Paul Special by MsDee)

More photographic evidence coming soon.


From what I can remember we played...

Even Stevens
(Uneven Stevens mix)
Speak in Riddles
AndWantMore (a new song)
Tide House (a new song)
Eat the Sweets

Oh, and here's a link to the 'intro' to our live set (minus Lee's improvized drum-machine-through-a-marshall-amp-beat): http://themekanoset.tumblr.com/post/13112772097/this-was-the-intro-we-used-for-saturdays-gig

Special thanks to Mr Hoof, Allan from Little Specks of Blood Lust Blood, and BeatnikSoup and MsDee for taking some snaps.

Right, off for a rant on http://twitter.com/mekanoset

TIDES TURN [Updated]



Hello Mekanoids!


This Wednesday (8pm in Britain) the appropriately named DJ Candy will be playing an exclusive extra-bitter-sweet mix of our song Eat The Sweets on her excellent Crossover show: http://www.koolrockradio.com/krrshows.html

Also - we've just said yes to playing an infamous Matinée Soirée at The Albert in Brighton on Saturday 19th November. We love doing these things. Join us for a liquid lunch beside real coal fires. We'll do a live set plus we'll spin some choice eclectic sounds (Two Tone, TV Theme Tunes, Post Punk, Punk and Electrickery). Then drinks and banter: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=265892466789550

So I've been more antisocial than ever recently. Working hard on the book, and some new mixes, setting up a new computer [all our old Macs aren't capable of handling recent songs without slowing to a crawl, crawling into a corner and setting fire to themselves). Possibly the most painful experience I've endured since a trip to the dentist in January when I was convinced my wisdom teeth were trying to crawl up into my head to get to my brain.

The Mekano Movie is becoming a thing beauty.

Hopefully back in London for a few days next week, and maybe even a trip to Brighton. It's certainly been a while.

Possibility of a gig in Brighton in November.

Coffee.
