Birthdays + Aronas end of Year = Party


Sooooooo - party details 14th november 08, but wait.....

What a year, where to begin???? Sitting on my couch in wood green, north london listening to Janelle Monae (what a voice) thinking of how to put together this blog. I guess I'm just going to mention as much as possible, until the music stops.

October was huge, We put 5 tracks down in MICROBE studios in Paris. I was eager to capture the current line up with the extraordinary virtuosic drummer Jose Joyette, legend bassist Nick Fyffe and best mate and steel pan player in the world Sam Dubois. A few songs like Team Aquatic in which we capture moments and fun times had on recent coastal rock pool tours over summer. The nile, representing the exotic sex move - the flying camel, in which audience memebers having been recently participating in with beautiful wing like arm flapping. Check out for my younger sis Holly who will dropping in over in the next couple of weeks to lay some vocals down. Think Habibi!!!










Legendary filming production company CLC were at our last gig especially. They had an amazing set up with extendable half human half robot camera catching all sorts of angles. Had to be extra careful to avoid running into this as thinking of the 1st show this month, I foolishly ran onto the stage for the 1st song banging into the fold back speaker. I sat down playing the 1st half of the set, everything being cool...but then I look down to see my white techtonic pants slowly turning red from blood. Waiting for the drum solo I wander back to find a huge injury. Anyway, limping around, its a scar i'll keep to remember this crazy time in my career. So, yeah, Look out for the DVD in the future, hoping CLC will make the best one yet!!! No trip on this footage!!

Caramaba Spectacles are confirming shows for next year whilst RT-Music have also confirmed some shows in Aus in January, so looking forward to heading home to NZ/AUS to catch some sun, friends and family. Well missed.

At the moment I'm working on the 2nd album so am also looking for the right company to make its new home, hope not to make the same mistake with past UK company. *sigh*



Sooooooooo, Its November coming up, I've been in London now for 3 years and have not thrown a damn Party. Its now my turn. I've chosen my location in Dalston, more details coming. Its going to be radical with full fancy dress, special guests from Award winnning Ebony, other bands, djs, lights, drinking, shisha's, etc, etc, etc. Aronas is going to be playing a late long set hopefully having all the great players that have been part of the band at some point join in. I might even be bar guy for an hour just to help those cocktails flow faster...Yes its the party of the year - my brother from another mother Sam Dubios shares the same birthdate so we're going to go party for show!!! Backed Up!!!!

14th NOVEMBER ITs coming up, get ready now!!!

well, thats all for now.

I really hope everyone comes to the party, it will be a very special night for me, so I hope to see all my favourite faces i've been seeing in tthis part of the world.

Ok, i'm going to get on facebook to make this event.
Big hello to everyone in AUS/NZ look forward to seeing in JAN 09

And big love to Team Aquatic, the shark, starfish, jellyfish, walrus, sea horse, clam, crabs, big bearded baby octopus...what great days!






Best,

Aron
