What’s new?
Dead Rising 2 is out and I feel I should get on it if only for the ability to construct a zombie-eating bucket [VIDEO].
The Walking Dead, the acclaimed comic series by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, is soon to be aired as a TV series (as an aside, the cast seems to be made up of Channel 4 drama actors. It worked for The Wire, but I’ll reserve judgement). [TRAILER]
And (continuing the theme of resurrection), TheBrokenDoor are undergoing some awesome changes at the moment. I don’t know what I’m allowed to reveal, so I’ll be brief until I can discuss with the group but its fair to say that you’ll be impressed and excited. Of course, it involves a LOT of tech stuff (why can’t we form a ukulele orchestra? It’d be a lot easier) and is based on the same core principles that we have always stood for: fluidity, creativity and spontaneity.
We will be gigging it soon (Looking forward to the NYE gig at the Dog & Partridge).
On another note, last Christmas a group of our most loyal supporters made it through the blizzards to watch us do a live, improvised remix of The Wizard of Oz [GET THE ENTIRE THING FOR FREE AT OUR BANDCAMP]. We’re planning on screening it again soon for a select few friends at Manchester’s Green Room (Get in touch if you fancy coming). We’re also meeting soon to discuss whether we should do something like that again.
Leave a post on our wall [TBD FACEBOOK] if you can think of a film you’d like us to remix.
We’ve got a gig this week at a WaterAid fundraiser and I think its appropriate that you all have a look at their site and the work they do, I myself will be donating. Forget everything else; There are people in the world without clean water and its simply a travesty.
Anyway I promise to keep you informed about what’s going on, and hope that you’re all enjoying the onset of autumn!!
