Mixing…
Late one.
Quite a late post here, but last month we did our tour with our bros Fat Bicth, with the addition of our good pal Tom Hond for driving/drinking company…
No day-by-day tour diary nonsense here, but suffice to say we had a blast!
We drunk a lot and laughed even more…
We listened to lots of Polvo, Captain Beefheart, MF Doom, Kate Bush, Weezer and Thinking Fellers…
Particular joys to share stages with were Grey Hairs, Feel Right and Battery Face…
And Edinburgh had the most beautiful streets/fry ups…
Thanks to everyone who put us on, put us up, fed us, came out to see us and said nice things…
AND we’ll be doing it all over again in November with the Bicthes…but next time in EUROPE! Stay tuned on that one…
For now, we’re working on new recordings and have some tasty shows lined up, including this bad boy…book tickets now before they go!!

Good night (to the world).
Edgeworld Records was a record shop in Brighton. The owner was Colin. Colin is my dad.
Edgeworld Records closed forever on Saturday 3rd March 2012.
I threw a surprise party for him to celebrate the shop and his loyal commitment to the Brighton music community. I spent about three of four months planning it and invited as many people as I could think of…I was expecting a decent amount of people to come, but the turnout blew my mind…there were so many more people than I could have hoped for..
There were homemade cakes…
There was a castle of Finkbrau…
There were tons and tons of good good people…
We played first. We played a brand new song, and a cover of “2x4” by The Fall… We all dressed up as my dad too with bald wigs and specs galore…
The Sticks played next. Like us, they were also dressed up as Colin and provided top laffs…
Then it was Charlottefield (yep!) who reformed for a super super special one off performance, on account of the fact that two of em worked at the shop for a number of years… Seeing them together again was unreal, and I was in tears for pretty much the entire set…
Click here to see the final song of their six song set…the rest are also up on youtube.
Then I’m Being Good played, followed by an impromptu speech made by my dad…I say speech, more just a public display of being quite literally lost for words…
It was the best night of my life, and to anyone reading who made it along or helped out or said nice things….thank you for making it the greatest night!
Peace,
Barney Xx
