Bonkers about Conkers: Joanne Blaker originals

My designer/maker friend Jo has turned her hand to some natty tees and totes.

The first batch are a limited run made for the recent World Conker Championships.

Eyeball them at her blog:

Oroku Saki

Liam 'Boy Howdy' O'Neil, who played the pots n' pans on the 'Battle...' CD of mine, has a new band. Oroku Saki are a two piece guitar/bass metalnoisedrone outfit and they're mighty.

I bootlegged their coming out party and you can download those monsters from their site.

They'll be playing at the The Lab night that I help organise, on the Friday 22nd August, at Catch, 22 Kingsland Road. More bands TBC. I'll be DJing that night and it's free entry all night. So come on down and lose your shit.

Oroku Saki, not to be confused with the hip hop MC Orukusaki: 'the only thing Japanese about this guy is his dick size'. Arf.
