Miaow,

My husband and I are in an art exhibition with a few other artists (yep,
I am now technically an artist) doing weird and wonderful things with
the kitsch kitten aesthetic. Think cats in clothes to the power of 10.

Please come down and check us out. Private view invite attached.
Opening night June 26th. It’s just down the road near Broadway Market.

Lisa (the artist now known as) Prince.

We’ve got bands, industry experts, promoters,
managers, music strategists (nope, me neither) and many others coming in to talk
at the camp. We’re also visiting all the live gigs we can in order to see what
the masses are sweating and spitting about these days.

Last week we even managed to combine the
two. Mid-afternoon Thursday a huge silver van pulled up next to the sock window,
terrifying cardboard Donna. Seven ridiculously slim young folk fell out of it
and they were Dananananaykroyd, a six-piece band from Glasgow (and their
driver).  For the next two hours
they entertained us with their lovely accents, intense enthusiasm and all round
banter in the Oval before heading off to their gig at the Camden Proud gallery
to soundcheck. Then, come 9pm, a W+K contingent went to find them and see what 'fight pop' really was.

Cut to 10.30pm, Dananananaykroyd have just finished a raucous set and
we all stand looking at each other, whispering things like:

Best live band I’ve seen in ages.

Why was the guitarist playing his guitar up that
woman’s skirt?
Greatest frontman ever.

Did one of the two drummers really run bleeding from
the eye after accidentally hitting himself
with his stick?
Why aren’t my ears working?

Amazing stuff. And plenty more to
come.  Next up is the MacBeth
this Thursday for 4 new bands.
