Yes, sweltering heat at last - so rumour has it that we might just have just made it into Summer now. Time to get your Shorts, T-Shirts, Mini-Skirts, inappropraite Sandals and wellies into gear for the 'final' part of Festivals and general partying... not includig September of course. Anyway - Riddler had a great month in July - the
Bull&Gate was a storming night, Jrink was fabulous and definitely intimate, and Spoonful of Poison down at Rhythm Factory was excellent fun (there's more about that in our
blog). We even snuck in a last-minute gig down at
The Good Ship just before the beginning of the month, and we're back there later in the year for a full-on night of electro joy... On top of that, we have some new songs in the offing, some of which are almost certainly going to appear in August's gigs...
And so on to those. Just two for your 'delictation', but they will be fabulous:
THURSDAY 7th AUGUST - NAMBUCCA, HOLLOWAY ROAD
One of North London's coolest venue's, Riddler are down here for a showcase gig care of
Glasswerk - who have described the band as:
Girl fronted electro-pop want you to judge their genre for yourselves. Offering emotive vocals coupled with jaunty beats and a dash of leopard print one to brighten up a Thursday
...which was nice! It's going to be a good one.
Be RECKLESS! Throw caution to the wind!. Dare for that slightly hung-over feeling on Friday morning, and come and give us a friendly wave as we plough on with some new material, and generally have a good time. We're on pretty early (most likely around 8:15pm) which is just an added bonus!
And that warms us up nicely for...
FRIDAY 15th AUGUST - The HAMSWELL FESTIVAL, BATH.
Actually, the Festival runs from the 15th-17th, but everything kicks off around mid-day on Friday, and we'll be playing just as evening starts to fall - it should be beautiful. Into its 4th year, Hamswell is a fully independent festival, with 3 solid days of wildly eclectic acts, DJs until Dawn, On-Site Cinema, Cabaret, Art Installations, an open-mic stage, food, drink, fire eaters, people and VJs backing up the whole thing.
It's gonna be brilliant!
Tickets are £35 for the whole weekend - and that's how long we'll all be down there for. If you're free and want some more
outdoor summery fun - come!
There's much more to talk about, but we'll stick that in the blog. Hope you are all fabulous.
