C.Sides was strange, strange becase it was in israel, strange because it was an electronic music festival (of the bleepy german techno kind) and strange because it was held in an international convention center.

Under the circumstances we had to think hard about the wisdom and ethics of travelling to Israel to do a gig: we went because of the nature of the event: it was a festival of political media art, put together by and for people who think that an active dialogue between different nationalities, and an open forum for discussion of the current problems can achieve more than a boycott that tends to silence by isolation voices of dissent within Israel.

Let there be no doubt we are opposed to the current Israeli military actions, the ongoing occupation of the West Bank, and the support and collusion of the UK and US governments. If you've seen the show you'll have a clear idea of our take on the inexorable expansionism of the western military insustrial complex.

Bloom was a nice little festival on a superb site with peacocks and follies. We had a great time playing in the dance tent on the phatabulos innerfield soundsystem.

International production rescue was in full effect with mark stage managing the main stage and marcus running sound on both outdoor areas. The allstars surgeon even got called into action after a thumb squishing speaker / hand confluence...

roundsound, sunshine, ice cream, peacocks, blood, mudma, pie and mashup. A great weekend - looking forward to the next one.

Well now, all back from Spain - the Rocket Festival was a blast (sorry...)
and playing last on the main stage again was great for us - what a way to finish..
check the rocket gallery for pictures.

And a huge thank you to iConscious + friends for providing the house visuals crew for the whole festival, and to all the other international VJs who came and played. more details of who they are here.

So finally we got to play in our very own home town, with the mighty Babyhead and all the best and worst DJs Innerfield + Bust the Box could muster a week before Christmas. Also featuring the Visual talents of Mistaken Generation and Metaluna. Party of the year? could be.... thanks to everyone who came, danced, worked, played and made this night really special.

Sadly we couldn't make this - after spending a day and too much cash trailing round various so-called 'London' airports in search of one with no fog we had to give up and call it a day. Huge apologies to anyone who missed us, and to Jess and the rest of the organisers: English weather and french pilots conspired against us there...

After missing the last 2, we finally got to play at Boogie Dave's anti-war extravaganza - on the big marquee stage also featuring, in no particular order
Slacker's Delight, Cut la Roc, Deadly Avenger, DJ Rubbish, High 8, Louis Osborne v Madden, Steelzawheelz, Superstyle Deluxe, Broken Minds and House of God.
