Play video from pad triggers. Percussion sound module creates any possible size, mic position, room size, shell material, dampening position and EQ of any drum for a mix down within the module.Roland's TD-20K is more than 500 drum kits in one. Seriously excited about this !!!

INTERWEB!
Finally, after 7 weeks of phone battle with BT, i have the internet. So expect to hear from me from now on. I have just moved into a new studio/home. It's pretty much a guitar shop with a bed in it. So now i've been working on the album songs constantly. 12 hour days with no windows. I'm starting to get a studio tan. Some working titles include 'masterham', 'guitarmania' and 'ike's song'. Yes, they are working titles. Been thinking up album titles, it's much harder than i imagined. I am dangerously obsessed with prog at the moment so expect some ridiculously pretentious concepts.

Bands
So i suppose it's the latest re-up of a genre this year. Two awesome new bands to listen to - Trailer Trash Tracys and The XX. I have been best friends with the lead singer and guitarist of TTT since i was 18 (am i biased?) No. Not only are they amazing people but their music kills it too. They've been loving and learning shoegaze their whole lives. Currently recording new tracks they'll be out with a single at the end of this summer. With shows lined up i'd highly recommend going to see them. Have a listen at http://www.myspace.com/trailertrashtracys
The XX are also on fire right now. With their current single Crystalized getting massive recognition you can listen at http://www.myspace.com/thexx and see tons of shows they have coming up.
I'm digging the bands Salem and Telepathe as always, i guess it's a duty as a band blogger to let you guys know what we like !? Check them out if you can.

Hannah Marshall New Collection
As you guys know, we like fashion designer Hannah Marshall's stuff. We rarely have a show without one of her pieces. She has lived up to her big hype and has produced an awesome Autumn/Winter 08/09 collection that will blow your socks off. Her inspiration includes architect Santiago Calatrava, his work described as "swooping lunar shapes, monolithic Modernist warehouses, curvilinear airport terminals, and strange white arcs of towers"
You can check her out at http://www.hannahmarshall.com/. We recommend you join Gok Wan and Lady Gaga along with many others and get this stuff !
See below a clip from the on/off fashion week show of Ipso Facto and Hannah Marshall at the On/Off Fashion week collection display and a picture of Ipso Facto with Hannah Marshall in UK Vogue April Issue.

Body Percussion
I recently discovered that long before Bjork's Triumph of the Heart and mid way through Timbaland's "vicky vicky uh" a vocally percussive group was forming named Barbatuques from Brazil. You can listen and watch at http://www.myspace.com/barbatuques . They explore every cavity and clap that make up body percussion. Percussive groups using irregular objects often sound inventive but lack imagination when it comes to rhythmic pattern. Range of sounds available with the instrument can also suffer. But Barbatuques create challenging rhythms and sounds that make you wonder how that noise could ever come out of a human being. Currently running workshops in Chicago's Human Rhythm Project (i wish i were there), they are incorporating tap,rap and a little vocal magic into their performances. Who ever knew hitting yourself could be so entertaining. Please come to Britain soon !
I suggest you check out the myspace. Or if you just so happen to be in Chicago - the festival at www.chicagotap.org
Meanwhile here's an example video.

It's been a time for the number three. We recently went on a three day mini tour, as the new three piece, with three new songs. It's weird playing without Cherish, and I miss her alot, but the wheel keeps turning, and the show must go on...
I was absent minded on this trip, and didn't take ANY photos, fortunately Victoria was there with her trusty phone... This was our first trip without Mark Scurr :(
