Bass Hole / July 13 2009
Enormous are still looking for a bass player. Think Bruce Thomas, Nick Lowe, Bruce Foxton or Jerry Scheff.
We also need a Hammond/Piano/Vox Continental player - just think Steve Naive.
If you think you fit the bill for either of these positions, mail me here or at enormous@hotmail.co.uk.
Bass Bummer / June 28 2009
Gilo, the Enormous bass player, has just handed in his cards to go play with a tribute band.
We wish him all the luck in the world but it does leave us with some gigs in the diary, an album to finish and no bass player.
If you are, or know of, a good bassist – think [...]
Crack / June 21 2009
Ouch! Gardening should be banned. My back has gone all funny.
This is what my back keeps telling my mouth to say every time I try to sit down or stand up - two things I do quite frequently throughout the day: ‘Good Lord!’ (Actually, those are not the exact words.)
There I was yesterday, vigorously employing [...]
The Jesus Diet / May 1 2009
I hadn’t seen him in ages. He looked happy and was wearing a big smile and a rather brisk cologne.
‘Lovely morning, Davy.’
‘Yes it is, Reg. How are you?’
‘Putting on a bit of weight since Maria left me. She’s gone back to Italy.’ He gazed into the distance for a second before lifting up his arms [...]
Spit and Polish / March 22 2009
I wish people – well, men, I suppose – would not expectorate in public quite so freely around here.
Audrey stepped in a grotesque lump of glowing mucus when we left the house this morning; and a few minutes later I had to dodge flying spittle while I listened to a speech from Reg on the [...]
When You Do / March 13 2009
We have just added When You Do, one of the biggest sing-along songs known to man, to the Enormous set-list for our upcoming gigs in the summer.
A very cheerful little song about how insecure one can feel sometimes; and about how one often feels like finding a seventeen year-old French waiter and smashing his tiny [...]
Chanson de Geste / March 9 2009
If you have a few moments to spare, why not pop on over to the revamped Enormous website/blog where I have just posted Let’s Run Away Together, a song about one of my many daring deeds of the past few years.
I’ll be posting tracks there often – new demos of songs for the forthcoming album, [...]
And Far Between / January 9 2009
‘Alright, lover? Cold, isn’t it? Had a good Christmas, have we? No biscuits this morning, lover?’
The new woman behind the counter in Mr Mishri’s shop was bombarding me with breezy questions at eight o’clock this morning.
‘I don’t eat biscuits.’
She gave me a look that would terrify a cobra. After a beat, she redefined herself, smiled [...]
New Year’s Revolution / January 2 2009
Try not to faint: you are reading a blog post by someone who stayed in on on New Years Eve.
That’s right, you aren’t dreaming – Nelson Galaxy and I did not go out to the pub on New Years Eve. That’s a first for us.
Graham, the drummer from Enormous came round on Tuesday, the night [...]
Galaxy Snapper / November 26 2008
Nelson has returned to London after coming to take photographs of the Enormous gig with B-Movie last Thursday.
He didn’t actually take any because he felt intimidated by some of the bands’ scary-looking male fans. That’s Nelson for you. Mind you, I can’t blame him; Mansfield is a frightening place - not best suited to glamorous [...]
