Lushfest
We had to blow out the Lushfest show yesterday cos our van and the organisers’ gear buggy couldn’t make it through the lake of mud leading to the stage. Without our amps we are nothing. It was gonna be the first show using our new Hiwatt stack too. Damn. Cue sexy pic:

Comin at ya
Rehearsals for next weekend’s show…

Swallowhead Springs
Swallowhead Springs, south of Silbury Hill, where the rivers Kennet and Winterbourne meet. Usually by this time of year the river would be completely dry, but not this soggy summer.

Freaky clouds
The world is strange and awesome, even on a nondescript industrial estate

Trespass Map
To mark the 80th anniversary of the glorious mass trespass on Kinder Scout in 1932, the Ramblers Association have put up a Trespass Map showing places in England and Wales which are out of bounds. So super useful for planning righteous and potentially lively field trips… BRING IT ON VIXEN TOR!

Avebury screening 12th March
Urthona pal Ric Kemp will be talking about his experimental film ‘Avebury’ (which we did the ambient soundtrack for a few years ago) in the cinema cafe area at the WEA Filmclub event at the Clapham Picture House, London SW4 0AT on Monday the 12th March 2012, after a screening at 18.10 of James McTeigue’s Edgar Allen Poe inspired film ‘The Raven’. Details of the event here. And Ric’s got an edited version of the massively psychedelic film on youtube here. -
We are making a new world
A new Urthona session track ‘We Are Making a New World’ will be haughtily barging its way onto the airways as part of the third Black Sheep/Biker FM Tue’sday Night/Wodnesday Morning show going out next week. Fling yourself madly this way for info; expect extreme amp manglage and, on the night, saltier language than two pissed up pirates swearing like errrr fucking fuckery.

I am the Sea
29.12.11 An elemental day on Perranporth Beach, Cornwall. This is the rock (island?) where Townshend recorded the sea sound effects in 1972/73 used in Quadrophenia, and inspired side four’s ‘The Rock’. The second pic shows Carter’s or Gull Rocks off in the distance in the far right, used in the last two pages of the orig Quadrophenia booklet insert. There could be Urthona live action in Cornwall in 2012; we hope so, we totally massively absolutely love Kernow.
