Ballad of Ross MacLochness and Denny Upham…

Yesterday, I discovered a rough edit of some footage of the final band practice with Jon and Steve. It dates back to December last year, when Jon had just announced that he was moving to Panama, which of course left me having to replace him in the band (and subsequently Steve too).

We had one final practice (which was actually after about 6 months of inactivity) and were going to play one last time together at a party. Sadly that didn’t happen since Steve got stuck abroad and couldn’t get back in time. I think it was the whole ash cloud thing. Or maybe he was actually denied entry for a bit for looking a bit too shifty…

Anyway, this is a short film of that final practice. A line drawn in the sand, marking the end of that period of Adam Boucher and The Dead Set. But hey, enough of my yacking, whaddaya say? Let’s boogie…

A Farewell To Harrington – Live in Brighton

Another video from the Brighton gig. Possibly the fastest this song has been played live so far. That’s not to say that it’s all that fast and we’re unlikely to morph into a speed metal outfit anytime soon, but y’know.

I Know What I Did Last Summer…

Forgot to post this the other day. Ben Marwood is a really great songwriter and one of the nicest musicians I’ve had the good fortune to share the stage with. In this interview Ben gives myself and Adam Bennett a brief mention after we played on the same bill together on the first two shows of mine and Adam’s tour back in January/February. Needless to say this caused my head to swell for at least a whole day. Don’t worry, normal service has resumed and I’m now back to hating myself again…

Exceptions – Live in Brighton

Here’s a video of Exceptions from the Dead Set’s first gig, in Brighton a few weeks ago. I uploaded it for the band to see but given the poor quality (my camcorder struggles in dark conditions) I wasn’t originally going to share it with everyone. I might delete it at some point, especially as the band will no doubt get better and this will wind up seeming a bit rubbish in comparison. I think we sound pretty damn good for such an early performance though so I thought I’d post it. This video also features a brief special guest appearance from Jaquima the dog, who overshadowed the entire gig by being a bit too cute in her quest to eat Barry’s (Oxygen Thief) pizza.

Anyway, for now, enjoy:
