THE COCKNBULLKID EP

The cocknbullkid EP is OUT NOW! I did the artwork for it and drew the cover under her guidance. I've blogged about it before.

Below is the final 'Querelle' EP cover..

cocknbullkid wrote on her myspace..

"So the US EP is finally upon us! It's out THIS TUESDAY THE 4TH OF AUGUST AND YOU CAN ORDER IT HERE. People outside the US can also order it. Some of you have been asking why it's called Querelle. It's named after one of my favourite films by Jean Genet, google it. I should also say thank you to James Hankins for the artwork. I'm really quite proud of it. I hope you enjoy it and are ready for the new wave of songs. The album is pretty much done now but I'm still writing all the time. I have to or I may implode.

BRB

p.s
there might be a secret show announced soon. Where I may be doing some of the new stuff. Keep . Peeled. XXX"

CAR BOOT REJECT

3 out of 4 OLOs DON'T want to post up the audio recording of the 2009 Homegame Festival set with director's commentary. Can you guess who DOES want to?

Will this ever see the light of day?

GORLKEEPERS EP

OLO Worms present..

Gorlkeepers 'Gorlkeepers EP'

(3 different covers above)

Gorlkeepers:

"Just before the kitchen wall came down, Lionheart and Delifinger from OLO Worms recorded this EP. We wanted to hear the sound of gardening in our football kits. Or lying on the grass after being kicked in the air and staring at a cloudless sky. Or planting seeds that don't grow up or down. It features the Rhos Orpheus Male Voice Choir and programmed beats. We borrowed a piano. We bought a harmonium. We hope you enjoy it"

Fence Records:

"The debut EP from Gorlkeepers, a splinter group of Bristol's OLO Worms, is a 25 minute journey of hushed-electronic psych. Previously only available at HomeGame 2009, we have limited copies in the Fence online shop - and each copy comes with three different covers."

Gorlkeepers 'Gorlkeepers EP'

1. We Are
2. Not Quite Over Yet
3. Clip Your Wings
4. To Rust

FREEZE PUPPY - LIVE (25th July)

It was a gig to celebrate his album launch. His album 'Animation' is brilliantly zonkers!! If i'm completely honest..i don't really recall much of the gig as we started drinking early in the day when recording the OLO director's commentary. I love Freeze Puppy so i'm guessing it was all all good.
