July Newsletter '26

  Hello everybody, i hope you are all having a lovely summer - my favourite parts are all the butterflies, and the pinkish light that shines three-quarters up the treeline just before sundown. It's funny, from my nest in the shed (i'm hiding from the carpetfitters) I can see the Four Blokes kick drum is full of the sleeping bag i slept in on childhood camping trips - i notice this at this juncture because the sofa from the shed where we recorded the first album has now been moved into the lounge. I don't know if this is a test of my decompartmentilisation skills, but that sofa is where me or Tiago (sometimes Myles or George) would sit while the other was at the desk recording their part - recording in the shed was a sanctuary from the tense eyes of parents, where we were free to be daft and quite stoned and laugh loudly without everything turning into a lecture. I don't know, it's just weird that the sofa from the room where I'd get away from my family and get ...

 "Ow! Ow!" The coach driver's torment had begun - I was hitting his knee with a surgical hammer. This was far from a scheduled call-out, and i was far from a medical professional; safe to say, I was using excessive force! Anyways everybody, it's the Four Blokes Newsletter!

Well my lovelies, it's been a scorcher of a month- to the point of impracticality at times. Maybe if having my window open didn't invite sounds from the seventh cricle of hell in, I wouldn't mind so much... speaking of sounds fron the seventh circle of hell, what have Four Blokes been working on in May? In fact, what exactly is it Four Blokes have been working on for the last several months? Perhaps I shall stop being so intentionally oblique and reveal a little of my scheme... May 1st - International Worker's Day! And I was hard at work on location, filming the animals at Kentish Town City Farm. They all looked tired, perhaps overly warm. The shoot moved to arebyte Digitial Art Centre, where I nabbed a few clips of Ambie Drew's Soft Bodies, Cold Machines exhibition. Very pink. Popped into Morrissons on the way back for a Pomegranate to slice up and smear all over myself. Clang! I dropped the knife in the shower. Very red. Filming continued, straddling midnight on t...
