Media: Cannibal Panda + Others, Tindersticks Project [Video]

For the last week, four the members from our University Band, Cannibal Panda, plus other students from the University of Northampton were involved in a project at the Royal Derngate Theatre. For five days we worked with singer/songwriter Chris T-T to develop music for pieces of film by French director Claire Denis.

The performance was held in the Underground area of the Theatre, open to many people waiting for their shows on Tuesday 25th October 2011 in support of the Tindersticks and their live performance of the same film works. Below is the video from this event and I hope you enjoy it!

News: Gaz & CJ Restart Acoustic Duo!

Hey everyone :)

Just wanted to let you all know about an exciting, new (but also a year and a half old) music project that myself and Colin Jennings have re-ignited today.

In February 2010 we set about starting an acoustic project and half-wrote our first song. Today, on the 15th October 2011 (yes a long time later...) we have actually continued where we left off and added another song to the collection with the intention of keeping this project going. I am currently playing acoustic guitar, Colin will hopefully be playing acoustic bass - but current his electric will suffice and we are both taking up vocals. We are however looking to recruit a percussionist, not really a full drum kit setup, more like bongos, congas, tambourines and other percussive instruments - if you are interested or know anyone that might be please let either of us know!

Currently the style of the project is difficult to pinpoint. We are really just coming up with ideas and songs that we can use for our acoustic project and the results so far have been promising.

So keep an eye out for any song releases or gigs that we might be playing and we look forward to demonstrating our project when we are ready!

Review: AnarKaos, Black Despair

AnarKaos, Black Despair: Camden Purple Turtle

Unfortunately, Pariah had to pull out of this gig. But this gave us time to re-enter Insight into our set list. We came on stage at 8:45pm as planned. Although the venue was quiet, Black Despair and their friends and fans came in half way through encouraging us to better the performance. The set was well received as we played our 8 song set which was:

- Cry For An Answer
- Dragon's Fate
- Burning Morality
- Never It Ends
- Insight
- F4LL3N
- I Am
- Destructive World

The only real failure in our set was the introduction to Insight. However, we moved past this and the rest of the night was amazing, especially when Black Despair took the stage. A tight band with an awesome guitarist (who had to be as they only had the one guitarist), they played some really great, exhilarating metal that left the audience really impressed.



Above is the video footage from the show. Unfortunately there are only 3 and a half songs worth of video as we ran out of memory! Pictures will follow!

Thank you to all of those that came out and we hope to see you at the next one. Keep checking the blog for updates!
