Bitmap Brothers Vs Sensible Software

Written by Aidy.

Some great news if you're a fan of Speedball 2, Sensible Soccer or any of the other games that came from Bitmap Brothers or Sensible Software back in the 80s and 90s!

Both Mike Montgomery and Jon Hare are coming along to the Centre for Computing History for a special one off event where they'll be talking about their careers and the games they created. There's even going to be a chance for people to play the games on the original consoles and vote on their favourites. The museum's going to be open late after the talk for those of you that want to stick around for some after hours retro gaming. So grab yourself a ticket and I'll see you there!

Date: Saturday 15th August 2015
Location: The Centre for Computing History, Cambridge

The Ort Cafe - 23rd May 2015

Written by Aidy.

Played Birmingham for the first time in a long time, we did a couple of full band gigs there about 2 years ago and one was at a burlesque show if memory serves me right. This time I was playing a solo acoustic set in a cool little venue called the Ort Cafe supporting Abi Budgen (featured in the pic below). Weird playing without Dave but still managed to crow bar in one of his jokes and some banter about the price of the British IBM merchandise. Also I performed Hey Mikie for the first time, which is a song off the upcoming album Psychopaths Dream in Black and White.

Next Gig is Relevant Records, 25th July 2015.

The Corner House - 16th May 2015

Written by Aidy.

It's been a while since we last played the The Corner House. Seems like there was a time when we were playing there every other week with the likes of Flaming June and Eureka Stockade "back in the day". Was a fun show and was great to meet headliners Psychic Lemon who played an awesome set. Thanks to Ian Guebert from Great Bit Blog for taking the photo.

Our next Cambridge gig is Relevant Records, 25th July 2015.

Dublin Castle - 17th April 2015

Written by Aidy.

Well that was our second gig of 2015, we supported Flow Brothers, Junkyard Choir and B-Movie Thieves at the Dublin Castle in Camden. Feels like we're getting the hang of this gigging lark again after only playing once last year. Dave and myself kicked off the evening with cheeky acoustic set and I somehow managed to spray pizza grease over my white shirt just before going on. Anyway! Thanks to everyone that came along to see us and cheers for taking the photo Deon.

Next up we're playing a free gig at The Corner House, Cambridge on Saturday 16th May 2015.

Psychopaths Dream in Black and White Artwork

Written by Aidy.

It's taking slightly longer than we initially anticipated but Psychopaths Dream in Black and White is on its way. It's currently being mixed over at Half Ton Studios and then it'll be making its way to Philosophers Barn in Norwich for mastering. It's sounding awesome though even if I do say so myself. In the meantime here's a glimpse of the new artwork! It was done by the very talented Daryl Blyth over at Retrophonic Designs who did the artwork for the previous album.
