| VIVA MACHINE VIDEO! |
[May. 9th, 2009|02:36 pm] |
it's here! the 200% official video for the viva machine single 'earthquakers & loveshakers'. released june 15th and we're giving it away for FREE! all you need to do is sign-up to the mailing list. can't say fairer than that right?!
you can sign-up at their new official website and if you do before june 8th then you get the download link sent to you a week early because you're well good and have amazing music taste n'that. it got its first play on RADIO 1 the other night too so it's now officially amazing.
all that means i'm prettttty bloody busy. that and trying to find a way of getting the automatic to poland for a festival in july that doesn't cost such a riduculous amount of money that we could probably charter a private jet. poland though, eh? should be a fun old weekend!
what's everyone else been up to besides watching the football league playoffs? burnley in the premier league? yes please! ANYWAY. video! please watch (in HighQuality!) then go sign-up (and pre-order the album if you really want. kthanks)

HELLO. sorry i've been a bit quiet of late... oh so much going on.
ummm, can't even remember why it is i've not been posting any photos!
oh yes! so had a stage at the camden crawl and it all went great.. took a bit of time to get together but had brakes, everything everything, spy catcher, baddies, viva machine, copy haho and alessi's ark all come down to the good mixer and play special wee acoustic sets for us. pretty fun! the viva machine record things continues to go well too and i'm headed down to the depths of south east london to check out the final edit of the video for the 'earthquakers & loveshakers' single in the morning.. (june 8th people!) pretty damned exciting and i can't wait!!
last weekend was give it a name and UNDEROATH were amazing and it was probably the best show i've seen all year.

i signed a band. it was probably a stupid thing to do, given how busy i am at the quietest of times, but they're so good and it seemed like fun.
so, if you're not already an ubermegafan, then apart from being a bit simple in the head, please go to www.myspace.com/vivamachine and listen to the songs or something.
Viva Machine - Viva Machine (it's self titled, i didn't just write that twice by mistake) is out on June 15th.
'Earthquakers & Loveshakers' is released as single (which is free! a free download single!) on June 8th. we're shooting the video for it next week and it's gonna be amazing.
that's all i think.

hello brothers and sisters. i hope this finds you well on a pretty fucking cold tuesday morning. i got up inexplicably early so i thought i'd put these recently finished photos up here before heading off on my quest to find some jelly and ice cream for breakfast (all suggestions gratefully recieved. pretty sure EAT doesn't have it on its morning repetoire).
so yeah, anyway. katy perry photos. i took these all over europe the earlier this month/late last month... can't remember what was shot where but we went to stockholm, copenhagen, manchester, london, hamsterdam, paris, munich, neu-isenburg, hamburg and brussels so chances are if you wanna know where something was taken it was one of them places.
there's loads of them, by the way, so i put a whole bunch under the cut but there's still some more on my site so click here for the full katy perry experience innit hahah :)
( click for more photos, innit! ) |

[Mar. 11th, 2009|03:22 pm] |
I have maximo park's pr asking them if their new free download track 'wraithlike' is about stargate atlantis or dungeons and dragons.
I do hope it's stargate. paul smith has always struck me as modern man. |

| 3OH!3 tour photos! part one... |
[Mar. 10th, 2009|02:12 pm] |
home sweet home! so, so tired still after a pretty epic few weeks, but totally worth it with gigabytes and gigabytes of photo and video to start getting into now i'm back.
the last show in brussels was definitely one of the best of the tour... there were even kids with 3OH!3 signs and all sorts in the front row, with the whole place going totally nuts for the guys. so much fun to watch! katy's show was as tight as always too, with the unexpected bonus of nat and sean rushing the stage during the 'i kissed a girl' finale, dressed in 2 of her catsuits/dresses and proceeding to dance around, hump the shit out of her inflatable cherry chapstick, and make a proper nuisance of themselves! i was snapping some shots at the time but katy's sister filmed some pretty sweet footage on my digicam so that will probably make an appearance somewhere at sometime!
anyway, so now i'm home, i've realised that i never put up the photos from the first few days of the tour that i put on my site a week or two back. so this is them. these are from sweden, denmark and the UK. loads more of 3OH!3 to come from all the other shows, and a bunch of katy perry stuff on the way too! exciting, huh?! :)
BYE! <3 xoxoxoxox

wow. we're in hamburg. the well dodgy bit... hookers and dealers everywhere. we were gonna hit an absinthe bar after the show that some of the katy perry guys know, but it got closed 'cause of the riots (we're in st pauli. their football team is famously and strongly anti facist. tonight was a local derby against rostock, who are known for their neo-nazism. fighting ensued).
luckily, a nice german chap called david brought the guys and me, plus the kp band and entourage, to a dingy basement 60s rockabilly club called the beat club. pretty sweet and complete with locally brewed and tasty beer named astra.
the show tonight was another cracker, as they all are. we drove up this morning from munich, which turned out to be pretty scenic. we came right over the mountains (the germans it seems build roads over them instead of around. good going) and through the forests. I've no idea how high we got but my ears popped more than once and we were driving right through the clouds. looked awesome.
last night's show in neu-isenburg went off great, and we stayed in an incredibly efficient local hotel run by a man in a very smart suit. he was a cross between the german paedo in the league of gentleman, and a very polite tory MP. all in all a very nice and lovely gent, so if anyone (for some reason) finds themself in the neu-isenburg suburb of frankfurt, then the hotel sauer is your place to stay!
anyway. I've got SO many photos to put up! I guess sunday will be the first chance I get so keep an eye out!

| peter goes 3OH!3ing. volume 7. |
[Mar. 4th, 2009|10:03 pm] |
hello world! i'm slept, refreshed, clean and in munich! after a super long trip from paris that took all day yesterday, we're in the same hotel for a couple of nights now so we didn't either have to check out early, or leave to drive anywhere early, and as a result everyone is feeling pretty good right now.
the hotel we're in is a cross between an old german chateau and a world war 2 cafe. when we arrived there was a piano and string quartet playing in the bar, and all the rooms and corridors have chandeliers and big canvases. pretty sweet all round and a nice change from some of the autoroute motels we've been crashing in.
(i started writing this earlier, but right now katy is midway through her encore at the tonhalle across town, where tonight's show is. 3OH!3 quite obviously killed it, yet again)
the last few days have been pretty good but super hectic, thus why i'm only just getting round to them now! amsterdam was amazing with LOADS of 3OH!3 fans in... everyone knows the words and gets down everynight (i guess a lot are katy perry fans that looked up the guys after seeing they were supporting) but the melkweg show seemed way more than usual. there are 2 rooms in the venue too, and across the hall the gaslight anthem tour was in town. i got to see and catch up with my boy frank turner which was super nice as i haven't seen him properly in forever! managed to see most of his set too with a pretty amazing new track thrown in. can't wait for his new record! met the polar bear club dudes for the first time too and they're super nice and we got to hang out some during the day. the staff at the venue looked after us amazingly well too and i had the best steak i've had in about 2 years, with garlic mayonnaise and goats cheese. i want another one right now just thinking about it!
after that night's show we busted it straight out of town and drove for 3 or so hours to stay in a motel on the motorway near lille. we had to be in paris for before lunch and didn't fancy getting up at 4am or whatever, so with all those miles out the way we slept in till 8am (nice lie in eh? hahah. got there after 3!) and then did the last few hundred miles into the french capital where we met up with hayley, who does the 3OH!3 press over here, and a couple of guys from the NME. 1 photoshoot at the eiffel tower and 1 at the venue with katy later, and it was showtime. nat is french and had a whole bunch of his family up from the south which was fun. our dressing room for the night was the balcony of the venue which meant we had about 2 sofas each and plenty of space to crash out. realllly nice, until it was midway through the show and i wanted to get some sleep hahahah...
edit - i just took a break from writing to go out front for a bit and managed to walk in on katy getting changed before the encore (it was in a room you need to get through for the stage, i wasn't just busting in or her or anything), so i'm pretty embaressed right now hahaha.
ANYWAY. so, paris. another sweet show, and a few drinks afterwards which led to waking up on the floor where i had apparantly decided to sleep with just a shirt for a duvet. i'm sure it wasn't that cold when i crashed out, but it sure was pretty darned freezing at 7am. after more amazing coffee (even the reststop coffee in france tastes so good!) we spent the next 12 or so hours cruising across europe to munich where we are right now. it was long. i drank lots more espresso. we listened to pretty much every CD in the van. i ate lots of french cake and burger king.
jams!:
saves the day - stay what you are
fall out boy - infinity on high
lily allen - it's not me, it's you (x3. AMAZING!)
innerpartysystem - innerpartysystem
fall out boy - folie a deux
saves the day - in reverie
the rakes - capture/release
polysics - polysics or die!
and lots more i forget
the show's over now so i think we're either headed back to our WW2 cafe or maybe some big beer garden in town that people are talking about. either sounds good to me!
to make up for such a dull blog, have a photo of katy from tonight. i shot the first few songs from the pit and was then just hanging at the side of the stage with the guys watching the show when the lights went down for the beautiful 'thinking of you' that she does solo and acoustic. i still had my camera so quickly shot this...
