Lovely little gig last Thursday to celebrate Olly's 23rd birthday, the lead singer of "States of emotion"

Not taking away anything from their tracks as they were amazing including "unsung" and "she cuts shapes" but the highlight of the night for me was Olly's cover of "to be someone" by The Jam.
Was a real moment for me, possible made me question my whole childhood right there on the spot. Reason being i shared a bedroom with my brother split right down the middle, my side "electro" his side "mod" Guess my life was being shaped right there and then. Couldn't tell him that at the time though as we were sharp enemies.

So if your listening bro as for the music "it weren't all bad"






My kinda night though, full acoustic line up including "lamplight" on just before hand. With Mark Watts on form as always (their manager) and James Buckley from the inbetweeners floating about.

Reason for James being there he just featured in the new "States" music video "unsung" check it guys!! what a beauty!! and then buy it... 79p that's all they be x






proper tune!!!! buy it here

make rather than take

not quite sure which i prefer taking pictures or making pictures. Either way i'm slightly obsessed with photoshop.

Cant tell you how many hours i spend on it playing about with things.

But like i always say "if you wanted to be a professional snooker player you'd play snooker".

Not really.... it's just my new mate Mark, the front man in the band who's video we're about to light, dress, direct and hopefully produce.

Unbelievable exciting project, can't wait to get my teeth into it, kicks off tomorrow and in an ideal world will be wrapped up by Friday :)

Photographed these guys last night the all mighty "Lamp light"

Steve Jones with the voice of an angel, Chris on drums gets his rhythm from the gods and not forgetting Richard Jones (brothers) i don't know much about bass playing but boy does he look the part :)

Cracking gig on a steaming hot night at Kings cross "Water Rats Theater" gonna shoot a promo soon and i'm in talks with them about shooting a video for one of the tracks.
