Not blogged in a while coz i've been megatron busy. But good busy, not boring chores kinda busy :)
Just got back from Stockholm, we went to shoot my first ever OFFICIAL VIDEO! AHHHHHHHH! How exciting! (piddle puddle on floor) "Eskimos To Astronuts" is coming sooooooooon!
It was a bit of a mission to get there, originally we had flights, but then a volcano in iceland decided to have babies, and all flights were cancelled, from Timbuktu to Helsinki. So we had to get a train and drive, all the way from hamburg to stockholm... Well worth it though, had sooooooo much fun.
Had meatballs, saw innumerable ikeas, smoke machines, astronaut costumes, make-up, and I even had to milk a cow called daisy whilst holding my guitar. YES! In the video I milk a cow. Mental!!! I didn't quite know how to do it, but we got a stunt 'cow milking lady' to help us a little bit, coz i couldn't get any milk out! Here is proof of the action, a little sneak preview...
The shoot started at 4am! Yikes! And it was stupendously cold, snow on the floor, and i was wearing shorts and a t-shirt... DAFT, yes. Worth it, yes!
In other news, I am official sponsored by Cort Guitars! Woop. They sent me a few different ones to try and i think i'm in love. They have some amazing acoustics, electrics and basses. Go buy one, in particular go buy the L900 acoustic. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL guitar, like an old martin or something. A big shout out to the NO 1 Guitar Center in Hamburg too, they look after me very nicely :)
We had a few amazing shows across Germany recently, in particular one at Prinzenbar in Hamburg. WHAT A VENUE! Beautiful, and it was RAMMED! Thanku to everyone that came. There were lots of press, radio, tv, etc, NDR, MTV etc... EXCITING! Mini Video here:
We have one more show to play of our mini tour, last stop is Cologne. We are playing with Gregor Meyle at StadtPark... Tickets here for anyone that wants to come:
Might see you there!!!
