(I thought I'd try and mix both the US and UK titles for the fourth Die Hard movie, just if you were wondering...)
Anyway...
I used to be MC iPod, I use the past tense as this past Thursday I played the last ever MC iPod gig. It went well. I messed up a bit, but no-one noticed. This does mean I am no longer a rapper with mad skeelzzz though.
As we speak, I am uploading some shitty quality photos from Uprising #1 to the Uprising Myspace profile. Speaking of Uprising, #2 looks like this:
THE DISPLAY TEAM
CRONE
32FRAMESPERSECOND (tbc)
BAD SALAD
And is on Thursday 3rd April at the Queen Charlotte, and will be awesome-o.
We've finally started to sort things for #3, which will be the Power Up/Jugsout May Day punk spectacular! Stay tuned...

Blog Harder With a Vengeance (yes, everything is always a Die Hard reference)
Lots of good things to discuss, which is good. Obviously.
Uprising #1 was awesome. Whilst it was a shame that JB Conspiracy had to pull out, all four bands played blinders. Lower The Tone were awesome, especially for a first gig (well, until Garrod fell off the stage...). Smaller Than You were as good as they always are. Cherry Blossom Melodies proved, again, why they're probably the best new band to come from Norwich in a long time. Crone were truly, truly awesome and played a definite headline-worthy set. So, with that being said, I hope you'll all join us for Uprising #2 on Thursday 3rd April (at our resident venue The Queen Charlotte, Dereham Road, Norwich) for The Display Team, Bad Salad and more tbc.
Rude Awakening tickets are now available! They are limited to 250 so act quickly as we really do expect this one to sell out. Sonic Boom Six, Big D and the Kids Table and Random Hand are all excellent bands with good followings so to have them all on the same line-up is, to put it bluntly, fucking fantastic. Tickets available from the UEA Box Office (UEA Campus, Norwich, 01603 508050), Soundclash Records (St Benedict's Street, Norwich), www.ueaticketbookings.co.uk and www.soundclash-records.co.uk.
I also want to congratulate our friends 32FramesPerSecond on signing with Punktastic Recordings. Punktastic is a good label run by good people, so I'm sure this will lead to good things for the 32FPS boys.
Also, I had a try-out for a band last night. You don't necessarily need to know this, but there you go. I will also keep you posted on how that goes!
That'll do for now. Guess what the next blog will be called... go on... guess...

(The Real) Blog 2: Blog Harder
So yeah, this sucks. With the days counting down to the launch of UPRISING, our inaugural headliners, The JB Conspiracy, have to pull out. In a word: shit.
So, the plan is currently this:
CRONE
SMALLER THAN YOU
CHERRY BLOSSOM MELODIES
LOWER THE TONE
Thursday 6th March, The Queen Charlotte, Dereham Road, Norwich
Doors: 8pm, reduced entry of £2.
Sorry it's not ideal. but it will still be a rad gig.
So yeah, anyway, my birthday gig was last week. It was fun. Thank you to those who came, I hope you enjoyed yourselves. Thank you too to those who played.
That'll do for now.
