Tonight I shall be heading off to Brixton Academy to attend the Shockwaves NME Awards 2009, the glamorous indie gift giving, drinking and debauchery celebration. Will I see you there? I sure hope so. I still have not decided on my outfit but I can assure you it will be overblown, outrageous, glamorous non-wearable and […]
The website for the band Enormous, the world’s best edgy, hook-laden guitar pop group, has been redesigned, and indeed reloaded. Skip on over there and read main man Davy Lawrence’s description of the new Enormous album ‘Lust and Loathing at the Tender Heart’.
Davy explains that the songs are, “Personal portraits and saucy little vignettes about […]
Yes, tomorrow is Remembrance Day. I am not talking Armistice Day here. Remembrance Day was a rather famous early 80s pop-synth ditty by the band B-Movie. They are playing a gig tomorrow at the Town Mill in Mansfield.
I shall be in attendance. The rather wonderful Enormous are playing also. This is something to really look […]
Walking home I passed the RBS building in Aldgate, the area where the new pavement has just been laid and new crossings installed, when I noticed a man walking towards me. He was wearing a smart suit with disturbingly shinny shoes. He looked middle aged and his hair was greying at the temples. As he […]
Enormous will soon be playing a gig,
It is going to be very big,
I don’t know if I can make it,
My boss is being a git,
They are playing with B-Movie,
It will be truly,
Enormous

I […]
Just to pre-warn you - I shall soon be taking a short and well deserved break. I am off to visit my family in the East Midlands. The original trip was meant to coincide with a performance by the mighty Enormous but that gig was cancelled at the last minute by the powers that be. […]
A few years ago my band played a gig near Nottingham. At the time we were called The Johnsons and we were playing in the palatial environs of Woolaton Park. It was a lovely balmy summer’s day in August. We were honoured to have a guest appearance from Enormous frontman Davy Lawrence on drum, that’s […]
The new Enormous album ‘Electric Baby Grand’ is now available to buy from the Big Arena Records website. If you do not already own this album I suggest you get a copy right now, it will be the best decision you have ever made. Singer/songwriter Davy Lawrence is one of the greatest songwriters of our […]
Hello, I am back. I returned from the idyllic leafy confines of Napoleon’s little village last week. We had a brilliant time and I wish I was back there again. I could easily exchange the dirt, noise and loonies of London for family, nice food and conversation. Maybe soon.
You will hopefully be very happy to […]
