Croft Gig

Last night was fun. We had the biggest audience we've ever had, fumbled our way through the new material, raced through the rest, and redeemed ourselves with a fine rendition of Iceberg Girl at the end. We'll post up some pictures soon. Thanks to Jeff AKA Manic F for recommending us to Light of Words, and thanks to Light of Words for having us. Both the other bands were great, but Jeff, AKA Manic F, despite skipping CD, was awesome.

Rockin band practice

Was good fun today, razzed through the old tunes and worked on a few new ones which include a sort of country/punk thing by Jimma, an explosions type tune by Simon, my pop, Simon's "New World Order" and a verse and chorus thing which I'm calling "70s". Because it sounds kind of 70s. When is ali going to write a tune?
Clearing out my attic I found this:

Prokofiev's 'Peter and the Wolf' from Britten's series of guides to the orchestra for young people.


A gem from my childhood. Awesome music and David Bowie narrating. I think the Wolf's theme is my favourite - the opening to St Vincent's "Paris is Burning' sounds a lot like it - but I don't think the similarity is deliberate. This is actually what made me think of digging out the tape and listening to it, but when I went to my tape drawer it was gone. Only on Tuesday as I was sorting through some boxes to make some loft space, did I find it.
