Out today!

🤖 Narrated by automatons in a near-future synthetic age, the second #PinkOpaque single 'Bringing Back The Humans' brings with it a fantastic vocal, a super-catchy chorus, a wry critique of the AI industry, and a wibbly Stylophone theremin 👇

Even more stoked about this now. Big Other's recent single rules and I'm glad we're getting to put them on.

Fortitude Valley's new stuff is also amazing and Precious Metals are my favourite current Sheffield band, so this will be a fun night. You should buy a ticket.

We are SUPER EXCITES to add BIG OTHER to the line-up for our next show with @fortitudevalley.bsky.social 💖

Inspired by Sonic Youth, Pixies and Veruca Salt, they've been described as "screeching and sprawling" and "a gripping wall of sound". Remember Laurie Hulme from Songs For Walter? It's him! 💖

I went to the @machomusicisstupid.co.uk popshow in Sheffield on Friday night and my head is so open to joy again - hug your friends, kiss your loves, go see bands, wear a trans badge, talk to people you don't know very well. We need all we can get so we can keep going ⚡⚡⚡

Right, @junkwhaletheband.bsky.social @nathysg.bsky.social + @pinkopaque.co.uk is happening in 2 days time. If you're not coming, you'd better have a bloody good excuse. Not living in Sheffield is valid (up to a point - I WILL carry out a full transport feasibility study)

As it is, let's just say we're chuffed to bits 🩷🪩

KNEECAP STATEMENT 14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. We deny this ‘offence’ and will vehemently defend ourselves. This is political policing. This is a carnival of distraction. We are not the story. Genocide is. As they profit from genocide, they use an ‘anti-terror law’ against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage. A charge not serious enough to even warrant their ‘crown court’, instead a court that doesn’t have a jury. What’s the objective? To restrict our ability to travel. To prevent us speaking to young people across the world. To silence voices of compassion. To prosecute artists who dare speak out. Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it. WE STAND PROUDLY WITH THE PEOPLE. YOU STAND COMPLICIT WITH THE WAR CRIMINALS. WE ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. YOU ARE NOT. WE WILL FIGHT YOU IN YOUR COURT. WE WILL WIN. FREE PALESTINE

Received a mailing list email from the mean marketing machine that is @machomusicisstupid.co.uk for their @junkwhaletheband.bsky.social @nathysg.bsky.social and @pinkopaque.co.uk #Sheffield show in a couple of weeks, and seconds later I'd bought a ticket. It was like I was in a trance!

The music industry seminars say to live the brand, which we decided to do by putting up a gig poster in the pub
