OLO WORMS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS!!

BONG!! THIS IS THE NEWS!! We have quit music and have moved into politics & banking (according to the Evening Post website below 'Bristol bank' !??).

This is pretty crazy. I don't really know what to say? errmmm..probably the most insane thing thats ever happened in my life! Our music and my rambling chat was broadcast into THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT!!!???!!?? The MPs were having some kinda debate about the BBC/6music and were all listening to us in there from 7-8pm. we didnt know bout this til after. shame they didnt hear 'Barber Shop'. I got interviewed on the phone and quoted (below).

In the evening post..

On their website..

OLO WORMS - BBC 6MUSIC LIVE SESSION

Yep!! We were on live radio! We performed live for Marc Riley on 6Music. We played 4 songs (1 of which was saved for Gideon Coe's show later). We had a little chat too. It was weird, but we loved it. Marc is a top guy. Bit strange meeting him having grown up listening to him.

We played..

Back From England

Neutral Zones

The Barber Shop

Sphinx

You can listen to the whole thing HERE (for another few days).

We have recorded it and will be posting it up for you to download soon.

Check out the tracklists, our photos, and some screengrabs of the webcam below..

FENCE HOMEGAME FESTIVAL 2010 - REPORT & LINKS

THURS 10th > WEDS 17th MARCH 2010

Fence Collective Homegame Festival
Anstruther, Scotland
Featuring The Fence Collective & many other bands/singers.

This was probably my favourite Homegame ever! Major fun was had. Everything about it was perfect. Sooo many musical highlights, i pretty much loved everything i saw. I won't pick anyone out, i can't! It's too hard. I'm not being wet it's just it seems wrong to choose one act other the whole lot that played. We played alright i think. I really enjoyed the set, i loved the way my hair and coat swung around..and now i stand up!!

I don't even wanna start writing anymore about what happened at the festival it cos i think it's better you check out the photos. The photos are jumbled up a bit. To be completely honest i couldn't be bothered to spend hours and hours sorting them this year. All the days mash into one anyway. We have decided not to do a Homegame video this year as we've done them for the last 3 years and feel that it'll be boring to do another similar one. Plus the clips we have aren't as good as past years, i think we were enjoying ourselves too much to worry about getting the camera out. There's gonna be a Homegame film (i'm not sure how big a production it'll be) so we'll be submitting the stuff we did film to that, i'm sure they'll put it to better use. There are soooo many great photos floating about online, alot are just on facebook which i guess you can't see. I'll link you up with some good sets below.

THE HERALD - HOMEGAME FESTIVAL REVIEW

"Next up are Bristol’s OLO Worms (7pm). "Did you understand OLO Worms?" Fence’s Johnny Lynch asks the crowd after their set. "Did you understand OLO Worms?" I’m not sure that I did – but at least their brand of noise experimentation was constructed on top of some genuinely funky rhythm section work and their art video projection was always interesting. A bit Sly And Robbie meets the Exploding Plastic Inevitable. And it’s the first time I’ve ever seen brown parcel tape used as a percussion device." - The Herald
