It's Halloween - time for a party.

Yes Yes Yes!

It's come round again! We've got a nice big Halloween Gig and an Aftershow Party all nicely set up on Friday the 26th of October, down at the Bull and Gate, Kentish Town.

This is going to be a massive party - not only are there three other great bands on (see the Live page), but there are at least two Birthday Parties coming to join us, an Aftershow at the Bullet Bar (about 5 minutes away), and a nice little Headline set from Kidney Riddler.


Doors are at 7:30pm, and we should be on-stage around 10:00pm (with the aftershow party starting as soon as we leave the stage, and carrying on until at least 2:30am, Woo!).


Dress: Kinky Halloween (Boys, fill ya boots!).
If you've lost your whip, Ghouls and Witches are very welcome.

Yey. It's September. August was Rubbish.

Hello everybody!

We hope your summer has been eventful and fun, and that you managed to catch a few rays somewhere along the line. Massive thanks to the ton of you who came down to the Rhythm Factory - we're so sorry the organisers ran into difficulties with the sound system and that we went on rather late, but everyone was amazing, and even curious passers-by were intrigued and swelled the crowd after they'd popped their heads in. We really appreciate your support - you're always there, and we love ya for it.

This month, the gig list has had to change a little at the last minute. Our gig on the 7th of September at Leonards has unfortunately needed to be canceled, which is a shame as we were really looking forward to it after our long stint of recording through August.

On the other had, we've gained a mini-festival called 'Wookiefest' over the weekend of the 22nd Sept. This is a Charity Event - and if it's anything like it was last year, it'll be great fun. We'll be playing on the Saturday night around 9:00pm, and we suggest you grab a camping ticket (it's only £20 for the weekend - £12 for one day - and it all goes to two charities). It's small but perfectly formed (with an amazing sound system, stage and light show). Come party with us :). We have a few tickets left, but you can also order them on the festival's ticketline - 07972 284734.

Hello again, one and all. Things are flying round the Kidney Riddler camp at the moment, as we gear up to a hefty summer of work, so here's a little note about the goings on.

Firstly, a massive thank you to all of you who came to our weekend of gigs last month. It may be a bit late sticking this up, but we have been going through the reams of photographs we got sent by lots of lovely people - you can see the result of them just over to your right - have a click through. Still, Saturday night was sold out all night (sorry to those of you who couldn't get in), and Sunday was a complete bounce-fest - we loved all the acts over the weekend, but special prize goes to the Keen/Osgerby Trio, who were just extreme. Thank you all so much for your support. It was not only fun - it was also very useful.

Next, a gig - Tuesday the 17th of July, at the Rhythm Factory, Shoreditch. We're down there for our first time courtesy of Let Them Eat Gak; an eclectic night of alternative music with a stack of bands on. It should be absolutely fabulous and again, anyone who can make it down there would be welcomed with massive hugging arms. All the info is on the Live page and you can grab your flyer directly HERE!

Finally, we're officially back in the Studio. We're recording in two or three places this time to get absolutely the best results we can, so it's lots of fun playing with all sorts of new gear, new people and new songs. We'll keep as much info up here about that as we go along, but expect to hear some of the new material live very, very soon.

So, for the moment, that's all. We'll catch ya soon.

*THE Weekend in May!*

Afternoon! It's time to blast into May with a collection of weird weather, and a couple of important weekends for Kidney Riddler. Oh, and a massive thanks to those who came down to the Lark in the Park - great night with some great bands and some pleasantly strange behaviour.

Some gigs
We've got massive weekend of fun and games on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of May, with two pretty important gigs. The first of these is @ The Spice of Life, Soho (where we had our Halloween Pre-Party Gig!) alongside The Leaves and Jezebel & The Saints. Our last splash down here was a lot of fun, and there's no doubt that this will be another eclectic evening of music.

The second is a free gig at The Old Blue Last, Shoreditch, c/o Breakneck Records, which will be awesome - alongside Mr Black&Blues and the Keen/Osgerby Trio - guaranteed to be an evening of awesome music as the crowd down there like it that way. This one runs from 5pm-12am... and it's free!

Both of these nights are really important to KR, so if you can come down to one, the other or both, your support would be amazing (and we would love you longtime). Grab your flyer here!

Recoooooording
Yup, slightly delayed from last time, we're definitely back in the Studio this weekend, crushing it into a mad weekend of other gigs, DJing for Dan, travelling all over the place and trying to remain sane. Obviously, we'll take a camera along with us, as long as we remember to take our instruments as well.

Stuff
Oh, you know, things. We hope you all have a great month! Take care.

Steamy April

Coor. It's hot out here. Watch out for the rogue icebergs if you're paddling off the Coast this week...

Bigger Updates
We finally managed to nail down a few mixes from the Leicester Square gig a couple of months ago (@ Storm - worth a look for the pictures). Having had some time to have a hunt through and a good listen, we've uploaded two of them (for your downloading pleasure) into the music player over on the Kidney Riddler MySpace page. Go on, grab them, burn them onto cheap CDR's and use them as easy birthday presents, or stick 'em on your phone and keep your fellow tube-passengers amused on the journey to work in the morning.

We have at least one other track we want to get out to you, and they will hopefully be available directly from this site fairly soon.

Littler Updates
Photos photos photos. We're starting to gather them together at the moment, so keep an eye out for little updates to your right.

Middlingier Updates
We're back in the studio this weekend (woo!) to get some of the work on the new recording done. Lots of fun, games, and almost certainly photos and the such to follow :).

A gig!
Yup, only one this month for KR - at the Lark in the Park, Islington, on the 26th of April - stage time around 9:00pm. There's even a flyer, which is nice. Looking forward to playing some new tunes as well, so all is obviously good!

Finally, please keep an eye on the site over the next few weeks as well - lots of things going on at once next month, and we're running around trying to organise it all :)

Take care.
