MUSIC REVIEWS

Just a note to anyone who doesn't know much about Sasquatch Records, or any bands who wandered this way wondering what the hell I'm doing on Blogger.com:

My name is Dan Blood and I've started this blog so Sasquatch Records is more accessible to other people (ie, people who don't use facebook every second of the day).

I am a fairly seasoned performer, and although some people think I don't take myself very seriously on stage, I do, and what's more is I take other people very seriously on stage and I observe objectively.

I would like to offer up my experiences to do music reviews, where invited, so that I can share my views on what works and doesn't work in local music. I will be throwing my un-targetted opinions on stage etiquette around on a fairly regular basis anyway.. but if anyone would like a review, please email me - dan.t.blood@googlemail.com

Euphex Beatbox @ The Old Brewery Tavern

The creatures that inhabit and run the Met Office have suggested the weather will be A'OK for this evening's festivities at the Old Brewery Tavern - I'm looking forward to getting things moving!

Soon I shall take the PA system over to Canterbury and get things set up. The acts are getting very excited about putting on a show for everyone.

I've grabbed a book of raffle tickets.. 50p a raffle ticket, there are drinks to be won, compliments of Sasquatch Records!

Jamie of Euphex Beatbox is going to run a beatboxing competition for anyone who fancies having a go.. again, there are drinks to be won, compliments of Sasquatch Records!

Now I'm going to tuck into some well deserved grub before going back to work!

See you on the other side....

Hell's Bell's Tiki Party

Well my week ended very badly at work.. I came back to Ashford in an absolutely filthy mood. Thankfully I had been invited along to the Tiki Party, being held by Hell's Belles at the Down Town Diner (Ashford), so I grabbed my camera and headed on down there.

I can't say I'm really into dancing, but everyone there was, in a big way! There was a fantastic atmosphere in the room, and I got to meet the guy behind Kraken Photography.





More photo's can be found on my Flickr page.

I'm very much looking forward to more Hell's Belles night and working with Kraken Photography.
