FAREWELL HONG KONG... LONDONS CALLING...

So, September is finally here & we will soon bid farewell to Hong Kong!
Julia starts work @ Flaming Eight next month & i face the the dubious task of finding a job in London. Looking forward to moving back, the new ambient/post-rock project with A.Mackinnon can get a bit more serious, even thoigh he's all the way up in Scotland it's still a damn sight closer than than he is right now with me stuck in Hong Kong.
Im seriously gonna miss my band Live Fast Die! & the assholes in it, those guys are a great band & we should hopefully finish the CD before i leave so there is a chance this Saturday might not be the last show.

'"HIGH FIVE!"'

It's been a while since I posted anything....... but thought this was cool enough to make the effort!
Somebody came in the studio recently asking about palm tattoos, wanting "high five!" on his palm & I thought it was a perfect opportunity to do some more hand picking work!
The customers name is Luke, singer from a local metalcore band (who's name i forget!) & will probably need a bit of a touch up next week (palms are a bitch) but here are some pics:








On friday night my band "LIVE FAST DIE!" played @ a local venue called "Rockschool" (shit, it's been so long since I blogged I dont think I've even mentioned this place yet!) & it was a pretty good night! Will post more about the band soon, had a few gigs recently & a couple of radio interviews I will get around to posting about some time!
couple of pics from friday night:







kinda hard to see in these pics but as it was "Friday The 13th" we had an appropriate banner made & I had designed a dumb ass flyer (which got blown up & hung outside the venue) & the whole evening turned out to be the usual drunken mess that is expected from a LIVE FAST DIE! show!
heres the banner & flyer, with our faces super-imposed:

THE FIVE STOOGES!

Just found this revue by one of the judges from Battle of the bands the other night & it made me laugh (although not as hard as i did when it was announced we got thru!) Anyways, here it is:

"The second group was called Live Fast Die! This was their second time playing together, thrash/punk/screaming vocals and you know what? I liked them. Because they could play and their songs were really funny. Plus it was like watching the Three Stooges on stage - during the first song one of the guitarists knocked the singer off the stage. During the second song the two guitarists kind of piled on the singer and almost knocked each other unconscious, all to the tune of a song that sort of reminded me of the Stooges' Search and Destroy."

His name is Spike, you can find his blog here: http://laowai.blogspot.com/
Cheers Spike!

TAKING OVER THE WORLD!

My band "Live Fast Die" entered Global Battle of The Bands on saturday for a laugh....... & we got through to the Hong Kong final!
Shit, didnt think about going any further just turned up drunk & did what we do! Dont have any good pic's yet (rob, you suck!) but got a video (should be 2 more soon) & a pic of me chuggin jim beam just as we started!
