After a quiet week in the French countryside, it’s back to work with a bang here at Fish HQ. And we have some exciting gigs coming up…
Bob Harris has invited us to play the Old Grey Whistle Test stage at retroculturefest Generation Expo. We’ll be playing at 6pm on Saturday 8th October, supporting Squeeze! It’s £12 to get in, but you can get in for £6 if you print this flyer and take it with you… Just click the picture to open a PDF that you can easily print:
Next Monday is the launch gig for Wonderful at the Barfly in Camden. We’re super-excited about having our friends Black Casino & the Ghost and George Chopping (and maybe even someone else if we have time!) supporting, and we’re going to make it an awesome gig.
Needless to say we would love you all to come, and if you want to bring a hundred friends we won’t stop you. ;)

This one is going to be really fun. The venue is a strange little magical theatre, and Jont always puts on a good show… We can only fit about 150 people in and Jont has been in Australia for months, so it’s worth getting tickets early. ;)

I had gotten an invite to this party via Twitter, from one of the acts playing there that evening ‘Little Fish’ a trio (although tonight a duo) from Oxford who I had seen previously supporting Placebo for both nights at Brixton Academy (see my blog entry on this here).
Bob saw our Twitter message about Jont’s house party in Brick Lane and came on his own from Luton to join in the fun. You should read his whole blog about the gig and check out his photos, but here’s what he had to say about the Fishies:
We had a little break to allow Little Fish to set up, and got some more drinks, and when we returned Little Fish was being introduced to us by Jont, and Julia “Juju” Sophie Heslop declared that she doesn’t really do many acoustic shows and stating there aren’t enough women in rock, and her shows are normally louder. This was a special treat to see them in this environment, having previously seen in Brixton academy, this was a very different experience. They began off by playing ‘Darling Dear’, a song I was familiar with, followed by a new song called “Hollywood” which required some audience participation, during the chorus one half of the audience sang “Old fashioned morphine”, followed by the other half singing “old fashioned love”. This kind of sing song environment may be somewhat different to what Little Fish are used to, but they really excelled here.
Little Fish were loved by all it seemed and when they finished their three songs, the everyone clearly wanted more, so they obliged us very kindly with a few more songs from them as a band, and a few more with Juju solo. When she had finished I got the chance to talk to them and got them to sign a note book I had with me, and they wrote this (Juju’s message & Ben’s message), I told them how I had first heard them at the Placebo shows (see here) and they seemed very happy that I had come to see them. After that the music went up and we all danced. Well we danced for a little while before the neighbours complained.
