David Bowie 8th January 1947 – 10th January 2016.

50 years to the day of the release of their debut album, January 4 will be proclaimed “Day Of The Doors” in the city of Los Angeles. The proclamation will be made by Los Angeles City Council member Mike Bonin during a public event at the intersection of Pacific and Windward Avenues, the location of the iconic “Venice” sign.

The Doors are quite possibly the most legendary Los Angeles band of all time. Formed in Venice, The Doors went on to become the definitive sound and voice of the 1960s and influence countless generations to come with classic songs such as “Light My Fire,” “Break On Through” and, of course, “L.A. Woman.” The Doors are celebrating their 50th Anniversary in 2017, as their eponymous debut album was released on January 4, 1967 and is still considered to be one of the all-time-great rock and roll debuts.

“Venice is a place where many have chased their pleasures or dug their treasures. It is a place that birthed The Doors and taught us all to cherish the funky, weird, and world-renowned vibe that Jim, Ray, Robby, and John helped make famous,” said City Council member Bonin. “I am very happy to be amongst the feast of friends celebrating The Doors’ 50th anniversary, and I thank the band, their management, and the Venice Chamber of Commerce for making this celebration possible.”

Historically we are no strangers to Stormin’ …

At Stormin’ 2005 we were the first band up on the ‘Main Stage’ on Friday 2nd September.

At Stormin’ 2010, we were the second band up on the ‘Main Stage’ on Friday 3rd September.

We can’t wait for Stormin’ 2016.

Tonight we received an email inviting us to play Stormin’ The Castle 2016 on Saturday 3rd September. We’re over the moon and of course we accepted immediately. Even better, we have been told we’ll probably be on the Main Stage. Excellent news! The event takes place at Witton Castle, Witton-le-Wear, Co. Durham, DL14 0DE. Further details and ticket information can be found at www.storminthecastle.co.uk.

Ziggy Stardust (1972)

Recorded live at The Civic Hall, Dunstable, Wednesday 21st June 1972.

Silent film synced to ‘same year’ live audio.

David Bowie 8th January 1947 – 10th January 2016.

There’s many of us out there who are gutted and deeply saddened by this news and countless tributes have been paid from all around the world. Thanks to North East publication ‘NE Love Magazine’ for highlighting this particular quote.

“If you’re sad today just remember the world is over 4 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist the same time as David Bowie.” … Simon Pegg

Saturday 19th December saw us finish our last gig of 2015. Despite the intermittent lashing down of rain outside it was more than cosy inside with a good turnout at The Red Lion in Coxhoe. You really do have to squeeze yourself in with a shoehorn at this venue but it makes for a great atmosphere. In total we put out 58 gigs in 2015. An additional three gigs were lost due to the venue either closing or ceasing live music, one gig was lost to a double booking mix up and one very recently had to be cancelled due to very bad weather conditions and traffic delays. As for the venues themselves, we revisited three pubs we hadn’t played at in four years or more and, more interestingly, made our very first appearance at no less than nine brand new venues to us. Our first time at Trillians in Newcastle back in July had to be a highlight. All in all, a great year with old and new venues, new songs introduced to the set and some bloody good gigs. Thanks to everyone for being there. We hope you’ve all had a great Christmas and we’d like to wish you a very Happy New Year for 2016 … Tubesnake (Lenny, Woody, Chris, Martin)
