WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS (AGAIN)

Waking up on a random sofa at midday with a party still going on around you, on the day off a mayor tournament is never a good idea. Joining in the party for a few minutes, before pouring a rather large vodka on the way to said tournament, also falls into the same category, streaking the tournament itself after winning is obviously genius, but lets not get ahead of ourselves...

Yes, it was the 5th Annual Hendrick's Gin Croquet tournament, and our Rakehell's team were reigning champions. The team consists off The Piper Machine, Nick Saunders, Sigmund & Wade, who incidentally had a lot of work ahead of him, if he was to beat last years jumping into a passing Ferrari celebration. Fuelled on Gin, lots of it. The team comfortably won their group.

But it would be a lot tougher in the knock-out stages, with the dreaded Swiss...

But with nerves of steal in the Final, they want on to win a consecutive trophy, and good to his promise Wade streaked. Gin hangovers are the worst, we must warn you, but if you are gonna have one, it better be a Hendrick's one.

SPANKYOKE

The Piper Machine invited us all down to his launch for Karaoke Box, a new joint in Farringdon. We all got picked up in A-Team style black van, which pretty damm awesome and the legendary Budgieman greeted us on entrance, you might of seen him on South Bank singing with his budgies. The karaoke machines were not as good as Tokyo, as they didn't have an EQ on the Mike, so no way of disguising out of tuneness, but still lots of fun. We took to the decks with 3 CDs (lost them again) but they were all bangers, perfect a karaoke night, think T-Rex, Blondie & Edwyn Collins, who Akira The Don's rapping partner Narstie made us re-wind!. 

After a while the French Rock'n'Roll band for live karaoke came on, and the party came into it's own. Ali Love, complete with an amazing moustache started off with an amazing rendition of The Stooges' No Fun, which definitely got him some skirt. It was followed by Aggy & Grimshaw's version of Kids In America. The party exploded and the champagne kicked in. All in all it was a great night, so well done Mr Piper, and you can all look forward to forthcoming Sunday karaoke nights at Whisky Mist, starting next week we give you Spankyoke, very silly indeed.

FELIX DA HOUSECAT

Just getting back from Paris and Belgium respectively Wade and Fionn didn't have time to prepare a set. Wade even lost his records for the millionth time (the only reason we started this blog is to have a record of how many times we lose records and headphones). The turnout for Felix was pretty astonishing since we just had a weeks promotion, but then again 9 months ago was such a success, everyone expecting more of the same. The Stunners set totally slayed it, and actually blew Felix out of the water, not sure if that's what a warm up slot should be like, but then again it's hard for a Stunner to hold back. 

As you can tell from above, it was a pretty damm rockin party. Here are a couple of mind blowing new tracks from the Stunners set that were too fresh for Felix. The first track is the first non-remix material from Fake Blood, it's out next week on Herve & Sindens Cheap Thrills label. The second is Duke Dumont's remix of Mystery Jets, it's mindblowing and as good as Switch's Hideaway remix. You should also look out for Riton's remix off Hand Me Down.

BIG IN JAPAN

This week saw the release of Cazal's album What Of Our Future. It's a long time coming, but it's definitely worth the wait. It's a weird time for the music industry and it takes a hell of a lot of money to push a product, so we are not expecting it to shift much in the UK or for Phil to buy us a pint, however the good news is, that our friends in Tokyo are buying it right, left and centre and it tops the weekly charts, ahead of none other than Madonna. 

They played live at the album launch party, and it was the best we have seen them, with confidence and swagger and extremely tight with an air of success they played a blinding set. Afterwards we all went down to Durrr and were blown literally of the dancefloor by Proxy, who was playing his first London gig, expect a lot more from him.

IT'S A RAVE CAVE

Stunners headed to Shoreditch on Friday filled with excitement, a warehouse rave had been a long time coming. Wade & Fionn finally had their first rehearsal after all these years of professional idiocy. Normally they just show up with half a collection of CDs (with dubious sleeves), the other half lost in the pub or on the tube, but this time was different, they had their CDs all in order and a sublime set planned. The anticipation was high and they even joked about something bad might happen, like the venue burning down or the PA blowing up, last one you may remember got shut down by the police.

There was a gang of ten of us, all dressed in black and leather walking along the back-streets of Shoreditch like a modern day version of The Outsiders. It was a pretty awesome sight, can't believe we didn't get pictures, no-one would of messed with us. Luckily we bumped into Sigmund and Hermione and managed to get them all pass to queue, and after Wade used a Jedi-mind trick on the door-man we were all inside. The venue was pretty awesome, it was under railway arches and the promoters had spent quite a bit doing it up. So all in all it was looking great, except the VIP room didn't have any booze. Dammit!!! Well thank god for bringing the bottles of Smirnoff (hint) with us. We all stayed up in the room for sometime making sporadic little adventures to different caves and the outdoor smoking room, Morwenna actually managed to walk into a wall and is left with a bruise on her forehead. 

As soon as we were about to start playing, some other DJ tried to muscle his way on, but with the power of 2, we kicked him off and Stunners finally went on, the whole room exploded at long last, it had been a stop and start Karma Sutra kinda night, but the crowd wanted it HARD & FAST. The practice had also born fruit, but disaster... half way into the set, out of nowhere the venue got shut down, much to everyone's dismay. The only thing to do was carry on into the night, however we all managed to lose eachother. Some of us ended up on a rooftop house party, others were dancing in car parks. 

We can't wait to this again, but properly. We want to musically ejaculate all over the crowd.

WHAT OF OUR FUTURE?

We are eagerly awaiting the release of Cazal's debut album What Of Our Future, we have had it for the past 6 months, and it's obviously ace, so we can't wait for the rest of you to hear it. Here is the video for latest single Someboy, Somewhere. It features Lou Doillon, who happens to be Jane Birken's daughter. She should definitely be David Piper's girlfriend. It is directed and features a cameo by the lovely Andre.

The album gets it's release on the 26th of May on Kitsune. Come celebrate the launch at Hoxton Bar & Grill with a live performance and guest DJs Gildas & Masaya, Jerry Bouthier & Lifelike.

Here is the B-side to the single that you can order from HMV.
