Forthcoming Nottingham dates include The Guitar Bar on Monday June 24th, The Chameleon on Sunday June 30th and Stealth on Saturday July 13th.

*****

Grandma Katherine

the grand old Victorian lady
from Adelaide who married

a Catholic and lived separately
from her publican husband

because she loved him
and had too many things

to do in the city to work
the cold rows of almond trees

who was so imposing
that even years after

she’d been cremated
lived on in the imperious

scent of her lounge—
my grumpy dachshund

(who could bite the finger off
anyone except me and Mum)

would suspiciously
scurry past, all but

making the sign of the cross—
the mother whose four

children would scatter
to the four corners

of the globe, marrying
foreigners or God

who on the way to Mass
on one of her visits

would instruct the five of us
to slide shut the windows

of our old Mitsubishi L300
because her white hair

was being made
slightly less perfect

and who once told me
through the shower curtain

that she wouldn’t look in at me
if I didn’t look out at her

seated on the throne
and did we have a deal

and thinking this is
weird

and feeling pretty sure
it wasn’t just me

but saying yes because
when you’re a boy

no doesn’t mean no
and anyway I think

she was already doing it.

“The Indian Music Scene has been on a positive upswing over the last three years which can be seen through the increase in venues, bands and festivals. The upswing can also be attributed to the services which are now available to the Indian Musician. For example the increase in music schools, jam pads and the growing music instrument retail. Another positive influence has been the increase in online support to the India bands and musicians like OK Listen which only promotes Indian artists.

However, there are still a number of negatives. Importance should be given to Professionalize the underground music scene, there should be an increase in band managers and payments should be made in time. Also, it would be good to have a few more production houses and recording studios”

Did I mention it was my birthday last week? Despite the fact that a certain American diner decided to keep taunting me with emails reminding me of my age in big bold letters, I refused to let the day go by without celebrating in the best way possible and what better way could there be than with 20,000 people and four guys from Nashville?

As if they KNEW it was my birthday, Kings of Leon scheduled two gigs at the O2 arena during my birthday week and lets face it, it would have been rude of me not to turn up to my own party, right?

It’s been a while since we saw their faces on our shores, particularly after the troubles that followed the release of difficult ‘beachy’ fifth album Come Around Sundown and so this long-awaited tour was bound to be met with some trepidation and anxiety. We’re fans. We want the show to be amazing. We want all our favourite songs. And we want a gig that we know we will be talking about forever.

And I’m so damn pleased to say this gig did all that and so much more.

The break has done the boys the world of good. They looked happy….yes, happy! And we had smiles throughout. They looked refreshed, sounded INCREDIBLE and the energy was just off the scale. I was fortunate enough to go to the Radio One Rivoli Ballroom gig and I have to say, as awesome as it was, I always felt it would ruin any future gigs for me. After all, what could possibly top seeing your favourite band – a stadium/arena band no less – in an 800 capacity venue with just 300 people in attendance?

Well, I have to say Wednesday’s gig at the O2 was pretty damn amazing competition. The set list was stunning – we got Milk, Cold Desert, Molly’s Chambers, Crawl, the obligatory SoF and two new songs from the yet-to-be-released album, to name but a few! Apparently the set list on the Thursday gig was even better….I was more than a little jealous that the Thursday crowd got Arizona, Trani and Holy Roller Novocaine but there’s no way I’m complaining about the Wednesday tunes!

The crowd was totally fired up and finding ourselves just a couple of rows back from the barrier on Matty’s side, we had one hell of a party. I can’t remember dancing so much at a gig (barring Kasabian at Wembley Stadium) and I think I smiled more than the band did. With a raucous encore of Closer, Use Somebody and Black Thumbnail, we left the arena with literally no voices, very sore feet and on a buzz that would last for days.

If this gig is anything to go by….our boys are definitely back….not that they ever left us mind you, but they’ve definitely left thousands of fans chomping at the bit for the new album and fingers crossed for a showcase tour before Christmas

Lost The Plot with Gav Hedge

As far as we know, the world record attempt, of which we were one of many acts, was a success, with the all day variety show beating the old record by over an hour.

The following week saw our return to Scotland to take part in the Forfarfest music festival – 3 days of music in pubs all over Forfar. We played two sets at the Chapter & Verse over the weekend, interspersed with gigs in Dundee. It was exhausting but great fun and we’re currently in the midst of editing a video of our trip, watch this space…

We also took the opportunity to buy some new matching shirts:

A Cheery Chappy!

Returning home, the next weekend was another busy one with us starting on Friday evening at The Malthouse in Ironbridge to a packed house (our biggest crowd in there so far), followed by a Saturday afternoon gig at the Newport Carnival and Baschurch’s Admiral Duncan in the evening.

Scream For Me Newport!

This weekend was a quiet one – one gig on Friday at The Hen & Chickens in Bridgnorth. The crowd was small but enthusiastic and we’ll be back there again in September.

This week we’re off up to Bury again to Molloys. Last time we played there we were sans drummer, so the locals have no idea what we’ll be like at full strength… Then, on Saturday, we’ll be playing for the Adams Grammar School Summer Ball. Next Wednesday (26th) we’ll be back off up to The Swan in Stone.

Keep an eye on our forthcoming gigs at LostThePlotBand.co.uk/gigs and follow us on Facebook & Twitter and don’t forget to spread the word!

Trevor Horn’s got nothing on us!

The Caulfield Cult’s album launch show at Blu Jaz.

Happy to finally get back on track here. Lots of stuff going on.

Continuing to push forward on several projects:

My short film project, “A Super Interview” has possibly worked out the kinks to get the cool visual effects handled. This is a story about an over-zealous i-reporter, who ambushes a speedy superhero, and hammers him on current affairs, as pertains to the emergence of superheros in general.

I am Writer/Director on this one (as well as many other hats).

As soon as I can get those test shots done (thinking the FS-700 would be good for this), then we should be good to schedule the shoot.

I will be sending out notices to some of the people I’ve already talked to about the project.

******************************************************************************

Anthony Crossen is picking up speed on his Short film “Abel’s Promise”, slated to begin shooting mid-July. He is mustering up crew and locations as we speak (errr, type).

Cast is locked already and they have begun rehearsals.

I most likely will be Assist. Director on this one.  Looking forward to a smooth shoot.

*******************************************************************************

Levi Jackson’s short film “Love Lost”, has a possible shoot date around the end of July.

He has started the casting process and has most of his locations figured out.

I will be Producer as well as man of many hats (Assist. Director again?) and I’m excited to help out on Levi’s second film project.

*******************************************************************************

Also in the works:

I have pulled out my Dead Ends script and started to shop it around. We’ll have to see where that goes.

Blood Red has come back to the surface again, by request, so it will be interesting to see if it gets any bites.

THEREAFTER is a web-series I’m putting together. It’s about mankind struggling to survive in the aftermath of a huge biological disaster, that nearly wipes us all out. Though it’s not clear what has happened, what we do know is, that as the remnants of our mighty race try to forge ahead, day by day, something is still out there, taking us one by one.

The idea is to shoot a full episode on 1 weekend, and then edit and begin releasing each part of that episode, on a weekly basis. Each episode will be 2-4 parts.

After the shoot, a new episode will already be in the making, and I hope to draw the audience in and let them be a part of the experience.

I already have a teaser episode (Episode 0) outlined and I’m scripting that with two specific actors in mind, to be shot in a wooded area.

I already have episode 1 outlined, and am anxious to get going on that one as well.

I’m thinking of making the episodes separate stories, of how each person is dealing and surviving in the aftermath. This way, we can provide acting gigs for many more actors, instead of just giving a few people an ongoing outlet

I may put this on Kickstarter or indiegogo eventually, so we can up the production values. Also would like to open this up to other Directors and Writers as well, to let them showcase their talents as well.

******************************************************************************

All this is coming together while the world spins out of control in reality.

I just lost a cousin, David Doiron, who was a hard worker, and kind human, passed in an automobile accident, and a good friend, Brian Klein, kind of a superhero (to the Hebrew schoolers and temple congregants) who fell in his battle against cancer. Wish them a safe journey to their new lives with God.

Thanks for reading,

Anthony Doiron   8)

For some reason, the first half was better than the second (in my opinion); its usually the other way around as we and the audience warm up. There were a number of dancers right from the start, which always helps, and the audience were appreciative, with plenty of clapping and cheering after songs.

We were loud last night and I know the bass was quite ‘bassy’ compared to other nights. It’s hard to judge with earplugs and from behind the PA line but I had the camera recording video from the same place as the last time, when the mix was good, and this time it wasn’t so well balanced.

Some new songs made the list last night. Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Peaceful Easy Feeling fitted nicely in. There are a few more numbers waiting patiently to be allowed to make an appearance so keep an ear out in future gigs.

No photos today as I was shooting video.

“The one good thing about the Indian music scene right now is that somewhere at the heart of it are a few people who are very passionate about it and they’re willing to take risks and chances, to try something different, musically and otherwise. I believe that is what can solely help the scene thrive. Encouragement of unique ideas and concepts that help dissolve the giant gap that currently lies between the mainstream and the underground.”
