We're back!
Ascension Band is performing this Wednesday night at Happy, as part of the Bomb the Space Festival.
If you're new to this blog, Ascension Band is a 10-15 piece 'galactic punk chamber orchestra' which I started in 2003, and with who I did a show in the Wellington Fringe Festival earlier this year - to my own surprise we got a great response and won the best music award for the festival.
On Wednesday we're doing a new piece with a new lineup including three trumpets, assorted electric and acoustic guitars, two keyboards, two drummers, bass, violin, vocals, computer, and myself making my Wellington debut on electric banjo.
It's a preview for a full-scale show which we're aiming to do in September, and then take on tour if possible - the big band format presents a few logistical challenges but that's all part of the fun.
Also performing on Wednesday are Will Guthrie (Australia), Misha Marks (Wgtn)
Rick Jensen Trio (Wgtn), and The Fingers (Wgtn) w/ John White.
Hopefully see you there...

And the series of dreams I've been ahving recently continues - six nights in a row now. The last one was disturbing - a mysterious ugly female ghost-like being by the name of Veruca Salt (obviously taken from Roald Dahl) floating into my left kneecap. I'm not sure if she's still in there. I woke up as if from a nightmare, but then it occurred to me that she might not be malevolent in any way - I should try and communicate with her.
Wednesday morning: And another dream last night, makes a full week's worth. Unfortunately I can't remember anything about it. Damn, dropped the ball...
