Had fun presenting for Tourdates TV last night at the Wilmington Arms, despite the flakiness of the lighting (we ended up using tea-lights)—and I'm not entirely convinced the mic was working...

That's odd—I could have sworn I posted the fabulous Cirque de Crème Anglaise coming up on 3rd February, our own special night. I shall rectify that at once. Clayton

What a fantastic set on Saturday, the Ballroom at the Cavendish Arms felt like it was made for you!

The Furbelows

"A strange mix of blues, rock, folk, dub and cabaret. It's been described as "the bastard offspring of Nick Cave and the Divine Comedy" but also likened to The Doors, The Stooges, Talking Heads and even early Pink Floyd."

The Furbelows are a south London band formed in 2007. Influences include booze, bullying and a classical education. The songs tend to revolve around disease, apocalypse, drugs, hedonism, Nazis and transvestism. Lead singer Alex doesn't actually appear on stage in drag as much as he used to though he hasn't calmed down in any other respect.

Farewell to the Dharma Bums Well, last night at the Cavendish Arms in Stockwell saw the last date in the Dharma Bums whirlwind London tour on which I had been drafted in to play bass. A couple of weeks ago front man Phil Void was in town for a weekend and we squeezed two gigs in, then he was back last Tuesday read the full post here >>

best industry quotes

"Pleasure Machine rips up the carpet, stomps its Cuban heeled feet into the floorboards and before you know it, has created a clammy, uninhibited party. It's as simple, attractive and as much fun as a Playboy Playmate, and twice as pleasant to listen to. 'What Whiskey Is For' is nearly the kind of song that Spiritualized would write if they had a sense of humour. But, if you want a blast of pure, eccentric, in-capital-letters-FUN, you could do no better than putting 'Pleasure Machine' on loop." An New Band A Day
"Epic and audacious, The Furbelows are an uber-confident five-piece who defy pigeon-holing: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, plus the raw energy of The Cult and some delicious lilting harmonies." Remotegoat.co.uk
"I love that track! That's going to be playlisted a million, million, million, trillion times on this show. And Clayton is the best-dressed man in the whole of the UK underground scene." Jordan Thomas, playing Pleasure Machine on The Friday Forum, VS Re:Charged
