…since I last saw you all I have been?
a) missing
b) encouragable
c) foghorn leghorn

a) We went on a trip to Croatia – (Electric Elephan in Petrcane) – this was very nice and clear watered and sunny. Howard drumbled for my set. Fout Tet was good, So were Soul Jazz DJs for the party during which I broke my flip flops.

Just this weekend I played the EOTR and a small crowd of people watched. Jonny played the Bass, Howard Played the drums, giving them up to Thor from Shearwater while he assembled four small children to batter some floor toms. All this trickled along in my usual unthinking state. Good show fellas.

b) Following night I was generating some kind of singalong in the south of Spain. Nice to meet Micah P Hinson. Shame I missed breakfast. And final shame, I picked up a snapped guitar and smashed flight case at Gatwick.

C) Nevertheless, I will play on Thursday as per schedule – in le Drugstore a Lille. Then onto Paris and then…well see the shows page.

Notes: The following people are nice people… Denis Jones, Emily Barker, Josh T Pearson, Jonathan from Shearwater, in fact all of Shearwater, Micah P Hinson.

The following people are worth avoiding…Jessica and Andy from She Keeps Bees (because they didn’t wear my t-shirts like they promised).

Movement (New Album and EOTR show)

General News

Progression has been made in the putting together of a new collection of songs. I’m pretty pleased with what we done. I worked with Andy Ramsey (of drumming for Stereolab fame, in fact the key to the Stereolab sound).

So you have to all keep your ears and eyes open to listen/look out for the new DTB sound.

For the time being it’s secret. Also we are working on a big show for the main stage on the Friday of End of The Road. As you all know, I am lazy, but also have no spare time to do these preparations…Nevertheless, I can assure you that an extravaganza of a show is going to be put on…

This will be multiplied by a 100 for the ICA show, and then divided by a 50 for the mini tour with Twi the Humble Feather. Then subtracted from itself to be rested for Christmas. Maybe.
