Glorious

The Sand Band

Was invited by glittering acoustic Liverpudlians The Sand Band (good name for a band) to do the poster for their record release party. I had previously done a poster for Holy Are You with them on the bill aaaaages ago, and I guess they remembered it. The cherry on the cake is that they're actually really quite good — and great to listen to late at night when you're designing posters by lamp light. As is the bright eyed Jack Joseph, gently strumming on his acoustic guitar, who is one of the support acts for the night (and coincidentally, will be playing much closer to home in Finsbury Park the week after next). Anyway if you're in Liverpool on the 16th of October get to The Static Gallery to treat your ears and get your mitts on a copy of their respective records.

SO, SO GOOD

The Wilderness Downtown

Well worth taking a couple of minutes to do this actually slightly moving little bit of video / interactive / web design. You do need to shut down all apps and other web tabs in order for it to work as it does bleed your processor dry (I hate myself for typing that sentence).

Also if you've not got it yet, get "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire, its absolutely phenomenal. It's so good it almost makes me want to listen to "Neon Bible" again.
