March News
Not too much to say about the Clockwork show. It was late, there was nobody there bar a few of our most-loved friends and fans. Tim Westwood didn't show up as advertised on the flyers (to the relief of many). Lethal Bizzle did their thang but I totally missed them.. was having a proper snooze in the van at the time. Apparently the promoter booked them for £4000 and at peak, there were only about 100 people in the venue. Ouch. Promoting is not a pretty job.
Rhythm Factory, a night run by No Rest For The Wicked and the Step 13 crew, pushing live drum n bass. Damn fine night. Got interviewed for the DnB Arena TV, but not particularly looking forward to it going up. Our interview skills are still leaving a little to be desired.

This month also saw Stu's stag in Amsterdam take place. Despite Nelly organising it, it actually went alright - although I suspect this was mostly down to chance. I'd love to be able to dollop out the gossip but there just doesn't seem to be anything I feel like talking about right now so ha.
Some of you may recall that at Christmas, I was editing a load of video footage taken on the road, mostly taken by Kimba. I'm pleased to announce it's now gone live on youtube. Head there and search for 'subsource road diary'.. there's about 12 vids there, and maybe of interest to you especially if you were at any of the following: Scala, Hoxton Bar and Grill, Welly Club (Hull), Q-Bar (Cardiff), Glasto, New Cross Inn or Joshua Brookes (Manchester). On average, we might leave for a gig at 4pm, to return maybe at around 8am the following morning. If you wonder what we get up to in those 16 hours, these videos might just tell you.
We've been very lucky indeed to be able to collaborate with breaks giants, Far Too Loud. Had a chance to mosh properly to them properly at The Synergy Project just before the Palestine trip and this trio (Dom, Oli and Oli) were seriously laying down some wicked beats. And they're probably the nicest guys you'll find in the breaks world. Their upcoming release, "You Know The Sound", features Stu on vocals and you can get a sneaky peek over on their Myspace. Release date is imminent.

We had a meeting yesterday and it looks like we might well have an album on our hands very soon. There are plans in motion to do our next single as a self-release, perhaps landing around late summer time. Exciting stuff. And looking at the budget we need, scary too.
James, our resident sound engineer who has worked with us since last summer has finally decided to do something that's actually worthwhile with his life now, and sadly will be leaving us, so we'd like to say a big thankyou to you for all your hard work and tolerance over the past 9 months. We'll cherish many happy memories and moments of seeing you kick lesser in-house sound engineers into shape and wish you all the best.. will miss ya!
