Utrophia CD Launch

I went to the launch of the third Utrophia Compilation last night- on an old minesweeper parked in Deptford. Squeezed through the railings, sneaked through the car park, got shouted at by a man with a red face. Saw Hamilton Yarns and Dan Geeson play acoustic sets, drank pink wine and ate chocolate cake, it was a lovely sunny evening on deck, saw a tiny wader bird with huge feet that made giant footprints, and taking 2 hours to get there on the glorious Northern Line didn’t even make me stressed… Later went on to the Utrophia studios and yakked away to lots of friendly people, held a poor girl’s head while she threw up, heard more music. The compilation’s really good, there are about 32 tracks, and I have a track on it called ‘London’. I thought they were going to use another one called ‘The Word is Goodbye’ that I’d been going to ask the Mad Professor to remix, but they didn’t so I’ll put that version on Myspace whether or not it gets remixed. All the bands and artists on the CDs have played the venues that Utrophia puts things on at, and they are all very unusual. It costs £7 and you can get it if you email info@utrophia.netSATURDAY 22 APRIL 2006
BOAT:
5pm – we’re starting the night on a boat on the creek up the road. here there will be hamilton yarns and dan geesin playing, this will be incredible and due to the size of the boat you’ll have to get in touch with us about coming down we’ll tell you all the details
