I'm not really a lazy sod, I just haven't had the time to update this blog as I have been rather busy sorting out the DeKadanCe mini album, playing a few gigs both solo and the first full DeKadanCe gig.
Im not going to bore the shit out of you with a rundown of what happened at every gig coz it would get tedious very quickly - so what I am going to do is post three videos from the three gigs that have been played since the last post - along with relevant set lists just to keep you updated. The next post will be back to the usual bollox and a new chord or two on the guitar, maybe a new song as well.
The first of the three gigs was in Canterbury at The Lady Luck Bar (with Anthrax, The Commited & Snide) - There is an entire video of this gig but unfortunately the sound didnt come out too well (Thanks for the vid Melvin)
Set List :
You're A Terrorist
Question Authority
Generation iDiot
Go Back To Sleep
Race To The Bottom
This Means War
Pissing in The Wind
They Shoot Children (with Kay as DeKadanCe)
Here is Race To The Bottom
The second gig was the following day in Ramsgate at the Red Lion supporting Cozy Dunts
Set List :
You're A Terrorist
Question Authority
Riot In Progress
Still Called Scum
When The Tea Runs Out
Go Back To Sleep
Race To The Bottom
This Means War
Pissing in The Wind
Generation iDiot
They Shoot Children (with Kay as DeKadanCe)
We were going to do another track (Knight of A 1000 Knives) but my string snapped and we didnt have time to restring so didnt do it
Here is Go Back To Sleep
And the third gig was a novelty for me - I was doing an integrated set of myself and DeKadanCe at the same time and it was outside a newsagent on a Saturday afternoon in the arse end of Cliftonville.
The set list was as follows
You're A Terrorist
Still Called Scum
They SHoot Children Don't They (DeKadanCe)
Go Back To Sleep
Just One Life (DeKadanCe)
Race To The Bottom
Knight Of A Thousand Knives (DeKaDanCe
Pissing in The Wind
In Chains (DeKadanCe)
This Means War
Power & The Glory (DeKadanCe)
Generation Idiot
Identity (DeKadanCe)
Blitzkreig Bop
The last song was balgged on the spot as Tommy the last of the original Ramones had died the night before - this was my tribute to him
Here is DeKadanCe doing a cover of Power & The Glory which Kay originally wrote with her first band YouthInAsia
And there you have - not such a lazy sod - until next time when i will be spouting on about the Mini Album
Thanks to The Welsh Tart for all three videos

The Second Gig
Well as you may have seen by the video, the second gig went down really well. I managed to stay in tune for most of it and even managed a new song and one I had avoided doing coz I wasn't comfortable with it at the first gig. I am really enjoying doing this acoustic guitar lark and finding it quite liberating from being in a band. Since the last gig I had aquired a Chorus pedal with the intent of trying it out - After hearing what it sounded like I think I will be having it on premanently at every gig from now on - it altered my sound entirely - it was awesome, well haopy with it
I went up to the Birds Nest with Kaya from Decadent Few who had agreed to drive up despite not playing due to an illness in the band. Not wanting to cancel the gig or let anyone down who turned up expecting Decadent Few, Myself, Kaya, Bruce from Mindframe and their drummer did an impromptu three songs at the end with me borrowing Mindframes guitar. Myself and Kaya had had one rehearsal acoustically of all three songs earlier in the week but to do it with an unrehearsed rhythm section was going to be weird - especially as I had met neither of them before. We ploughed thru Power & The Glory (an old Youth In Asia song) something called "In Chains" which was a bit of acoustic blues we had thrown together and "They Shoot Children" (Decadent Few song) in rapid succesion and I was amazed at the response. It was recorded and although I haven't heard it, I have been told by Kaya (who has) that it is rather good - soon as I hear it I will let you know.
Set List:
1. You're A Terrorist
2. Still Called Scum
3. R.I.P (Riot In Progress)
4. Go Back To Sleep
5. Race To The Bottom
6. Pissing In The Wind
7. Generation iDiot
8. Question Authority
2nd Set list - With Kaya Decadent & Mindframe
1. Power & The Glory
2. In Chains
3. They Shoot Children Don't They
I actually stopped playing during the last song of my own set as I was laughing so much at one bloke who threw himself on the floor and was shaking like mad, so much so that he knocked a burger off of a plate and onto the floor where he stopped, picked it up and ate it. I was in hysterics, stareted the song where I left off finished and went for a beer. No encore this time but I didnt care as I had had such a great night and the two other bands Bucha Effect & Mindframe were excellent - both well worth seeing.
The Welsh Tart took a few pictures as welll as the video of Generation iDiot from the previous post and a good night was had by all, unfortunately no photos of the 2nd set as I forgot to give The Welsh one her camera - bugger. Too much waffle for this post - I will post the song I was going to in the next post.

Acoustic ... ANGRY Acoustic!!!
Acoustic ... ANGRY Acoustic!!! - this is what I was called earlier this week - I can live with that, and it was taken as a compliment thank you Gutterpunk Photos.
After the last gig Iwas on a bit of a buzz, so decided I needed to write a new song immediately.
After doing everything I.E. Drums, Bass, Electric & Acoustic guitars , vocals, mixing etc on the last load of demos / songs, I decided I wanted this one stripped back to just acoustic guitar and vocal. I'm finding it fairly easy to write lyrics at them moment as our government are giving me (and everyone else) plenty of fuel to be angry about - one brief recording session later and I have an acoustic song which I fully intend to play at the next gig which is going to be a cracker - The Birds Nest in Deptford as support to the wonderul Decadent Few, and two new bands to me, Mindframe and Bucha Effect.
As for the song - Inspired by a conversation at the last gig when someone said to me that they agreed with what was going on and it wouldn't affect them as they were working part time and the government won';t touch them. I laughed and told them not to be so naieve and lo and behold four weeks later they govt are going to sanction part time workers, I just told him to go home and watch his TV and go back to sleep. And that is what this one is called.
Please feel free to download this or any other track from the soundcloud page. If you use this in a radio show or podcast - please credit me and and let me know - Thanks Russ Crimewave.

Go Back To Sleep
No need for a false flag operation
Dont need one on a sleeping nation
They want to keep us dumb and ignorant
Try to manufacture our consent
Do exactly what the governments say
Go back to sleep everything is ok
No facts required, No actual proof
Lies always travel, Faster than truth
They wanna chip us to make us dumb
Make us subserviant, Everyone
Bent to their will, Diminish and divide
Each identical, Just as advertised
No evidence needed in the state of denial
We all stand accused, All on trial
Told what to do, told what to say
Told who to vote for, Who to obey
No need for a false flag operation
