12:OTHERS Track #2 / LoGOz gigs!

Well here we are at the end of the second month of 2016 that is February, and with it being a leap year we get an extra day woohoo! It also means today on the 29th it's time for Track #2 of my 12:OTHERS Project. This comes in the shape of 'Ant Mash Up'. The clue is in the title lads and lasses. as this is my tribute to one of my musical heroes, the one and only Mr. Adam Ant. The song features snippets of 4 Adam & the Ants hits 'Prince Charming' 'Ant Music' Kings of the Wild Frontier' and 'Stand and Deliver'. All mashed together in my own unique punk rock manner! I hope you all like it, don't forget to let me know please, your feedback is invaluable! You can download the track FREE for a month from www.logozworld.com/12-others until the next track is uploaded at the end of March. Enjoy!

On the band front we are happy to tell you that LoGOz return to live action this Thursday March 3rd with a gig at The Deck in Redcar. Then on Saturday March 5th we hit sunny Morecambe for Punk Not Profit Festival. Looking forward to getting back in performance mode! It's getting canny busy on the run up to Easter! Stay tuned for more gig announcements and release updates etc!

Thanks for reading.

Solo gig - The Tavern Blyth 21/02/16

Sunday evening saw me back in the solo swing of things with my first acoustic gig of 2016. This came in the familiar haunting that is The Tavern in Blyth. Having played here a few times already in the past with LoGOz and solo it was cool to ease myself back into a comfortable zone! But never one to be complacent when it comes to performing I had already planned to mix the set list up a bit tonight by playing some of my AcoustiCalendar tracks for the very first time! After a swift soundcheck and round of drinks, the clock struck 6:45pm and it was time to do the business. A healthy early evening sabbatical crowd had gathered of familiar bodies from the LoGOz crew and more, which was most pleasing! I kicked off with 'The Ballad of the Disenchanted' and the sound was spot on too, as I was also introducing my spanking new Ox blood Marshall AS50 Amp, and singing through my new chrome vintage retro mic to boot! Boys and their toys eh? Eeh l divent kna! The reaction from the crowd was warm and very receptive so that only added to my confidence. The songs making their live debut tonight were 'The Last Generation' 'Skool Daze' and the solo premier of 'Keep ya Timber in and ya Powder Dry'! They all went down a storm which was most satisfying! Big thanks to everyone who came down to support this gig and to Vince Race for putting this event on and making The Tavern a cool local venue to play! Cheers also to Rothbury rockers Nellys Moss for their set too. Top lads.

Also just to let you all know of another solo gig just added - this Wednesday February 24th at Filthy McNastys in Newcastle for Insangel Promotions. Be great to see ya there! 

STOP PRESS!!

Another to add to your diary - The Three Tuns in Gateshead on Tuesday 8th March, again with Mr Insangel!

Also just a quick reminder you can still download Track #1 of my new '12:OTHERS' Covers Project 'Auf Weidersehen Lads' for FREE at www.logozworld.com/12-others

More LoGOz and solo gigs coming very soon! Watch this space!

Radio Northumberland return / Gigs

Monday February 15th saw me return for a solo slot on the New Wave with Newman Show on Radio Northumberland. After listening to last weeks show and hearing Keith blast my new 12:OTHERS cover track 'Auf Weidersehen Lads' to his unsuspecting listenership I felt it'd be a good time to get my arse back down to the studio for a crack and play! Keith also played the track to Auf Weidersehen Pet/The Likely Lads creators Dick Clement and Ian la Frenais in a pre-recorded interview with the chaps as they joshed in true comic fashion "You'll be hearing from our lawyers"! Great stuff man! 

So as myself, Clemmy and Jill Bee hit the Radio HQ not long before the 8pm showtime we were greeted warmly by Mr Newman and trustee sidekick Punky Paul. As proceedings kicked off we all chatted in between  Keith's post Valentine's themed punk classics, including 'Love Song' by The Damned and 'Ever Fallen in Love' by Buzzcocks! Then it was my time live on air with a brief chat before I launched into an acoustic version of the afore mentioned 'Auf Lads' which went down great in the studio, as my niggling sore throat was kept at bay with Halls Soothers and council pop! Keith also gave my next '12:OTHERS' track #2 an exclusive airing! This being my 'Ant Mash Up' which is my tribute to the legend that is Adam and the Ants! If you missed this, stay tuned for the official release on February 29th from www.logozworld.com/12-others

I finished my radio appearance by playing one of my favourite AcoustiCalendar tracks from last year 'It's a Way of Life'. Inspired by the excellent punk film 'Good Vibrations' which was recommended to me by Mr Newman, so it was a fitting tribute I thought. As we said our goodbyes there was still time to grab a few cool photos. All in all a successful evening and big thanks to everyone who tuned in and of course to Keith, Paul and everyone at Radio Northumberland.

Speaking of radio, I'm pleased to tell you I have a brand new edition of the PSYCHO RADIO Show coming up tonight on www.radionorthumberland.com at 10pm. Tune in for new tracks by CJ and Ginger Wildheart. Classics from David Bowie and Motörhead. New acts to the show also include The Soap Girls and Local punksters Loaded 44, plus loads more!!! You can tweet me your requests @PeeshNE63

Just to finish off, I'm playing a solo acoustic gig this Sunday February 21st at The Tavern in Blyth with Nellys Moss. This kicks off at 6pm and is FREE entry so come down and finish your weekend off in style! Lots more LoGOz and solo gigs/events being finalised as we speak so stay tuned for upcoming blogs!!!

In the meantime don't forget you can still download my '12:OTHERS' Track #1 'Auf Weidersehen Lads' for FREE from www.logozworld.com/12-others

'12:OTHERS' New Solo project for 2016

Well, after toying with the idea for most of January whether or not to fill the void left by AcoustiCalendar with a new solo project, I've eventually gone and done it! So lads and lasses I now present to you '12:OTHERS'. This will see me recording 12 songs by some of my all time favourite artists/bands/songs etc and will be released for FREE

download on the last day of every month in 2016. So my first offering for January is a punk rock mash up of 'That's Living Alright' from Auf Wiedersehen Pet and the theme from Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads. Two great songs taken from two of my most favourite TV Shows of all time. Both programs featuring the brilliant writing talents of Dick Clement and Ian la Frenais. This song will be to download for a full month from www.logozworld.com/12-others until February 29th when the next cover is upoaded. Big thanks to Clemmy and Jill Bee for making this project go Live last night and ensuring a frantic exciting end to the first month of the year!

Also if you missed my live LoGOz interview last week on American punk rock radio station Whatever 68 with Lisa PunkrPrincess, you can catch up with the show here https://m.mixcloud.com/PunkrPrincess68/

That's all for now folks!

Thanks for reading.
