Rounding off the first Quarter

This first quarter of 2012 has been a good one, and it is nearly at an end so I thought I'd write a quick run down of what we (Josh and myself) have done.

Our first gig of the year was putting on Haiku Salut at the Birdcage in Norwich, and I for one think it was a success. Josh supported, and Bill did a DJ set afterwards to commemorate Josh's birthday. Everyone I spoke to thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

February was our "off-month" in name only. Josh has been busy preparing for the next Ziggurat Creative single (un-ironically his next single as The Shadow Committee - I did wonder why he was putting so much effort in). I was busy dreaming-up planning to start a number of video projects around Norwich, wanting to document as much as possible of our own gigs, and also the music scene in general. I did film the Brownies gig at the Arts Centre, but haven't yet finished the video (my self-imposed deadline of March 1st effectively ignored).

My February was also thrown by the arrival of some exchange students from Belgium wanting to make video about the Norwich music scene. I helped out in any way I could, acting as guide/karaoke-partner/stalker to varying degrees. Their videos are pretty good, and can be checked out here, and here.

Onward to March we have a lot to look forward to.
Josh is planning an installation of part of his project for his Music Masters, where he plans to get everyone to play a kart racing video game. Sounds like work, Josh. I believe you.

At the end of March we also have the second Ziggurat gig of the year; Matt Stevens @ Olives. We're both really looking forward to see Matt Stevens; he is a top notch guitarist and loopagician.
Until then, enjoy his musical stylings from his most recent album.
