Thudge didn’t like singing songs, so he didn’t.

A new hybrid of Now and Laughing Sun is forming and has been named Alchemeon by keyboard virtuoso Jim. Several rehearsals have now taken place featuring some old songs, some new songs, and some material from the Space Goats.

At present the line-up consists of Pok on guitar and voice, Big Jim Peters on keys, keys, more keys, even more keys and voice, Iggy on drums and George on bass.

There is a lot of potential for splendour here, and the possibility of gigs is distinct, including perhaps some festivals and some European dates. A few names for this ensemble are under consideration.

Due to Pok’s crazy schedule it looks as if the next gathering of these souls will be in December. Further updates will be forthcoming.

Bad Habits, the new album from Dark Company, is at alpha completion stage. As Pete is suffering from a terminal illness, this may be the last Dark Company album…

It seems likely that Clonk! will be appearing live on stage at the Phoenix, Exeter on November 30th in support of the World AIDS day. Come along and bring a saucy grin!

We all know how good guitarists are at counting. According to the Wud Records studio team, after recording a further set of guides for three Flicker pieces which had not been done previously, despite earlier claims, it can be truthfully said that all the guide tracks for HappySad are in place. Just to reassure you, they were not only counted by guitarists this time!

There are some demos for the subsequent Flicker album, The Snail Gauntlet, which will be uploaded soon.

Many new things have been added to the Wud Records site. Various writings have been updated.
