Nick Cave with a handful of the Bad Seeds are Grinderman, an extraordinarily sordid and boisterous band that knows how to go for the jugular.
The last album was a riotous sexed-up affair packaged with jittery monkeys shrieking in the rain. Well there’s another album coming… This time we have wolves in a marble bathroom. Be very afraid…

LA Goth glam comes to Bristol! We were lucky enough to get an invite to the 'Art from the New World' show at the Bristol Museum. Some fab art, well stocked free bar and a Dita Von Teese burlesque show. No photo of Dita as we 'respected the tradition' and turned our phones off. Phew.

We have just been delivered our copies of a book we have designed for the Watershed – Producing the Future: Understanding Watershed's Role in Ecosystems of Cultural Innovation. It is a great showcase for work that the Watershed has had a hand in producing, and a very interesting read if you can get hold of a copy.
On Friday we hopped on a train to the Cheltenham Jazz Festival Launch Party, always a great night, and this was no different. A night that included Sir Michael Parkinson presenting a journey through the songbook of Frank Sinatra followed by listening to a bit of Jazzmatazz, by the late hip-hop legend Guru, in the gardens.
