OLO RADIO - OT06 - UNDER THE INFLUENCE (Part 2) - 14/5/08

We were asked recently to DJ at a night called 'Under The Influence' where you are asked to play music (and in our case other things) that has influenced you and your music in some way. Click HERE to see photos from the night. Instead of posting a list of the things we played we have decided to make podcasts of all the tracks we played and some more extra ones..making up about 2% of all our influences..we havn't got the time to make another 50 or so mixes and we're guessing you don't have the time/patience either. It's been hard, but somehow we have managed to whittle down a good selection of our favourite and most influential bands, singers, artists, albums, films, directors, comedians, sportsmen, celebrities, etc into 3 different podcasts.

This is number 2 in a series of 3 'Under The Influence' podcasts. Part 1 can be heard HERE. Part 3 coming soon!

My brother did this in response to these new daily notes i've been doing..

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY

Peoples been shootin' their mouths off! We handle ourselves. No qualms.

The Good
A letter in last week's Venue magazine..

The Bad
A comment left on the Drowned In Sound forum (don't ask what i was doing on that). Below is how i imagine Zapsta lives his life (slagging off bands from the top of his indie castle)..


The Ugly
A podcast about Fence Records (we get played about half way through). A strange one this. Mr Toad starts off by saying he doesn't like us then by the end sounds like he's our biggest fan?? I Think he's confused himself. Listen to the whole podcast by going over to his blog.

Listen to an edited audio clip of him drunkenly rambling on about us HERE.

OLO RADIO ADVERT 5 (Starring Steve Mason & Les Bell)

Below is the new OLO Radio advert starring Steve Mason (Black Affair) & Les Bell (Old Jock Radio).

It was filmed at The Fence Collective's 2008 Homegame Festival in Scotland. The music in the background is The Pictish Trail playing live. The chat at the end is taken from the Old Jock Radio show (3/4/08) .



Do make sure you do check out and tune into OLD JOCK RADIO, it's one of the reasons we started our radio station up.

'OLO EXOTIC' UK TOUR VIDEOS

So it's been a while since we played these gigs i know (just checked..it's been a month!? oh..ok..let's keep this blog up to date now) but let's not worry about that now. Each video is made up of little clips filmed on the day/night of the gig. We should say thanks to everyone who came and saw us at any or all of these gigs, and thanks to those of you that filmed most of the clips. We should also say thanks to our manager Chuck Head who was always a good shoulder(?) to cry on. There were mistakes, wobbles, and sulks, but on the whole we had a pretty..pretty..pretty good time!

We are still editing together the Fence Homegame videos *groan* but here are the first 4..

The Cube Cinema, Bristol. Supporting Casiotone For The Painfully Alone..



Start The Bus, Bristol. OLO Radio Roadshow..



The Glee Comedy Club, Cardiff. Supporting Malcolm Middleton..



The Thekla, Bristol. Supporting Malcolm Middleton..

'UNDER THE INFLUENCE' GIG

SUNDAY APRIL 20th

The Thekla, Bristol

Errrm..it was ok, just ok. We had some (alot) of sound problems and no way of sorting them out. Playing on the deck below us was a drum workshop..that helped. It was pretty dead but..meh! i'll stop moaning now. On the up side we had some new songs which we tried out for the first time and unfinished bits n' bobs, re-jigged old songs, and 2 covers. Our setlist looked like this..

Storm
Are You Girl
Fuzzy / Sphinx
Don't Touch Baby
Guess Who Garden
Flakes
Bycycle Rider (Beach Boys cover)
Swell
Barber Shop
Tortoise Shell
What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body? (Frank Zappa cover)

We DJ'd for a few hours before playing stuff that's influenced us in some way. Instead of posting a list of the things we played we have made/still making podcasts of all the tracks and some more extra ones (making up about 2% of all our influences..can't have anymore otherwise the podcasts would end up being rather long). Expect the podcasts very soon.
