When we disappear… we tend to be up to something!

When we disappear, we tend to be up to something… Well, we’ve been up to a lot this time.

2012 saw the launch of our album, ‘Believe The Machine’, the beginnings of new video making projects and the start of a very large project that has taken up a lot of time and energy. The end result of all the hard work is making us a little creatively hyperactive, as most of the major building work for our new studio has been done.

So, have a peek at some pictures from the studio-build. Believe us, this winter has been very very cold, and very very fun… a massive learning curve with ups and downs. But, we’re almost finished now, and by this Spring we should be working again… here at the chapel.

Right, off for a well deserved cup of tea. Hope you enjoy the pics… ones of the finished studio soon to follow, and there’ll be extra pictures popping up on our Facebook page. All the love from Anneliese & Mike and the Riddler crew.

Live: All The Ayres & No Graces – All Day Event, 8th September.

Playing The Machine

Riddler — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:36:15 +0000

A quick announcement – we’re playing some of the new material from Believe The Machine at Christiane Kubrick’s Childwickbury Arts Fair this weekend! The Arts fair starts this Friday and runs through until Sunday (complete with some excellent evening gigs – a few tickets left for the Saturday Night), and we are playing on the Saturday afternoon at 2:30pm.

We’ve been in fairly noisy preparation there for the last couple of weeks, and we’re performing with Live Strings, Woodwind, Percussion, Synths, Drums and a fair selection of interesting toys… and though of course we say you should come and hear us, you should go to the whole event – it’s amazing and hugely inspirational.

The Charity supported by the fair this year is the British Heart Foundation, and please remember that we are also donating all of the money raised by ‘I Send You All My Love’ to the foundation as well (we’ll be busy drumming up cash on the day , hopefully with some furry red friends!).

Let’s get Physical…

Albums, Arts and Antics – We’re spinning with it…

As you can see from the front page, the new video for “I Send You All My Love” is out, and we’re continuing to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. If you’d like to donate, please pop over to our JustGiving page and drop them a couple of quid. If you’ve seen the video, you’ll know the general idea, and you can expect to see those costumes appearing at the Childwickbury Arts Fair, this summer, the first weekend of July.

So stick that you diary.

Here are a couple of out-take photos from the shoot, and you can see more on our Flickr page.
