YATAB ALBUM LAUNCH
Here's the poster i made for You & The Atom Bomb's upcoming album launch. The OLO Radio team will be there dj'ing and drinking.
SHUT IT! WE'LL DO WHAT WE WANT!
Recently people have been moaning about the lack of OLO gigs, so today we booked a venue and asked two of our favourite local bands to play on the bill with us. Here's the poster..

BARE FOOT RE-LAUNCH!!
On Friday we re-launched our debut mini album Bare Foot. On a friday?? yep! Friday afternoon is the new monday morning, just don't tell HMV.
It was orignally released on Fence Records back in June. You can now get ya mitts on it by going through the front door of our website and placing an order which we will process (in our office) and then send out to you 1st class! The album artwork is currently in production (you don't think we'd use that photo do you?). There are two options when ordering..
1) Regular Album (printed artwork in a plastic wallet) - £5
2) Handmade Album* & Lucky Dip** (hand painted artwork on card) - £8
* Only 25 handmade albums will be made.
** Lucky Dip prizes are secret. They could be anything..it's a tombola!
"The album drifts along with all the unquestioned sense of a surreal dream..it's a huge, slow-dawning success" - Venue Magazine
"Bare Foot always jumps back to surprize you with a sunrise, illuminating it's on way, travelling everywhere you want to go but always forgot to ask" - Drunken Werewolf Magazine
"This album is excellent!" - SJ Esau
Here are the full reviews (Venue / Werewolf).
We understand no one actually buys music anymore (including us) but just think..if you give us your money, we can build bigger and better instruments and take on the big boys.
$$$! C.R.E.A.M GET THE MONEY, DOLLAR DOLLAR BILL Y'ALL!
VENUE MAGAZINE FEATURE
Slow news week in the Venue office was it?
The new Venue Magazine hit the shops last week. Turn to page 50 to see our DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD! ha! Who would have thought!? For those who can't afford to buy it (like me) we've scaned it in (click to enlarge)..
Nice Peaches!
Blabber..blab..ga ga..pah! yeah whatever!
..And if all that wasn't enough, while flicking through the mag i stumbled across the 'I Saw You' page. It looks like Lionheart & Seaweed have some secret admirers.
BB maybe??..
DF maybe??..
Look out for us next week as we'll be guest editing Mechanix Illustrated!

MUNDANE MOMENTS (Look Both Ways Before Crossing)
Last night i..* Stayed in. I have no beer money, i have no money full stop. Above is a photo of me trying to resist booze and fun. At least i'm not hungover today..just look at what i've achieved!
Over the last few weeks i..
* Saved a mechanics little dog by rescuing him from a busy road.
* Lost my chocolate bet. I ate a chocolate croissant by mistake. The £50 will be paid up at the end of the year, ok betting buddies?
* Did an interview for a Greek arts magazine. Bit wierd. I'll post it when it's out.
* Saw an old lady with a handbag that said 'JESUS IS THE LORD'.
* Nearly ran over a ferrit, badger, and a dead cat (on different occasions).
* Have been putting off finishing a MASSIVE housing benefit form.
* Have been napping alot in the evenings after supper.
Thanks to Happy Snappy Jensen for the photo..although i wasn't so thankful at the time.
CARTOON STUDS
Check out my Fantasy Football team. I am a teenage football geek again! Have a look at this site i found while looking for a photo of Alex Ferguson. That clown shares my love of the celeb..only he prefers a better class of celebrity.

FIELD DAY FESTIVAL
Last weekend I took the big bus down to Victoria Park, London for the Field Day Festival. We enjoyed the toilet queue, the beer queue, the burger queue, and the queue to punch the soundman. We caught Caribou, Battles, Justice, Fridge, Gruff Rhys, The Aliens, The Earlies, Fanfarlo, & our good friends..The Fence Collective. Bit annoyed i missed Bat For Lashes, Archie Bronson Outfit, Miss Oddkid, and Liars. We ended up going to some club with a load of the Fence gang for a dance-off! Here's some pics from the day..
