One of our local venues, The Ferret has started doing a new thing where the desk mix from your gig is uploaded to the cloud and sent to you. What a time to be alive! So we have made a live album of last Saturday's gig and put it on Bandcamp!

I forgot this was here, to be honest. So much social stuff it's hard to keep up.
In other news, we have removed all of our music from Spotify. A pointless gesture, perhaps, but so was leaving our music on there.

Being a musician is a tightrope between wanting people's attention but absolutely not wanting their god damned opinions.

So here it is, 2025, a brand new year bursting with hope and opportunity - and with it here's a new video from us, bursting with the opposite. It's called HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME, recorded live in the Zvilnik Little Theatre. Let us know what you think!

We've had quite a year! We started very much ON IT and we continued to be ON IT when Tom sadly left us - we've got to play a bunch of gigs... (including exciting support slots with my new favourite band Erotic Secrets Of Pompeii and The Scaramanga Six) ...

We've got a new live video to drop on YouTube, but we're going to hang fire until January 2nd because unlike our usual frothy fare about unnecessary surgery, we feel this reflects the emotional tone of the day you go back to work.

Trying to find the words for the feeling when 70% into the game I realise I can do this, instead of going to the Chron-o-john every time.

Playing Day Of The Tentacle and trying really hard to not Google what the fuck to do next. It's double fine though.

I think that what bothers me about hot takes is that nobody has the humility to begin their hot take with "I think" or "in my opinion". Maybe I should infer it but missing it out lens this tone of arrogant superiority that really chaps my crack. Everyone presents their opinions as facts.

What's up? We've only gone and booked our first show of 2025, that's what's up! It's at The Ferret in Preston, on January 11th, and we're going to be joined by lancastrian discordian oddballs Chimps Of The Future!

Every single piece of the internet that claims that the musical saw is the easiest instrument you can learn to play is an outrageous lie

An intro to Zvilnik. (band, NW England). We do sci-fi surf cabaret rock, which means whatever we want it to. We've been through many lineups over the last 14 yrs, made 2 albums and a ton of EPs (see bandcamp). We like songs about robots, dinosaurs, the inevitable collapse of western civilisation.

So I failed to ever make sense of Twitter/X. Facebook/Threads is a nightmare. Streaming services are disgusting parasites. Everything is designed to keep people in whatever they are currently in. Let's see if this is any different.

After about 30 years, I'm trying a new strategy for making music. I figure it's about time I learned.
