Imperial Wolf

Lot's of exciting things are happening in the world of Sabrepulse in the next few months!

Some of you may remember I moved down to (just outside) London late last year, since then i've found a new job, wrote a lot of new music and played some excellent shows.

I've done some networking in music-industry circles and all going well, it could turn into something larger that I expected. More news on that this year i'm sure - but a positive outcome from it has already appeared in getting my own night at the O2 Academy, Islington, one of the best known live venues in the city.

As far as I know, BEEP (click that link to buy tickets!) will be the first ever regular event to incorporate chiptune in the capital - and over the course of the year I have big plans for showcasing international chip musicians and integrating it with the Alliance tour.

New Tshirts are currently being printed & should be available at my bigcartel store next week (it was due to be this week but there's an issue with shirt stock) - the mockup looks great!

Release-wise - I'm planning on releasing the new full length at some point this year, plus a split ep with australian genius cTrix , and i'm currently putting the final touches to the soundtrack to an iphone/ipod touch game which will be released separately.

So there you go, lots to see, hear and do!

End Of An Era

So much has happened in the past week I could take up an entire page talking about it! Bottom line is i'm saying goodbye to scotland today and relocating down south - i've had some great times and i'll miss people here, but it's time to move on.

Looking forward to getting the new shirts in next week and sending them off to all the people who've ordered so far - thanks once again for all your support!

In a way it's great things have turned out the way they have - i'll have a bit more spare time in the run upto xmas to get some new music out!

It's pouring again

Due to my flatmate having his missus move in, i'm on the lookout for a new place to live again - which i'll admit wasn't part of the plan or something I need right now, but that's how it goes! Life deals you a bad hand sometime and you just have to lump it.

I'm at a turning point with regards to where I want to be. On one hand my job (and subsequent financial security) lies in Aberdeen, on the other I could move down to London to be closer to my family and civilisation in general. Another option looms over the horizon but i've got some time yet to decide if it's the direction I want to aim for.

Could be better, could be (and I need to keep reminding myself it has been in recent years) a lot worse.

Silver Linings

Things have been weird recently - I don't really wish to air my dirty laundry for all and sundry (how victorian did that sound!?!) so i'll keep it brief.

Kate and I have been on and off for the past 3/4 years - mostly on, but more recently with spates of unfaithfulness and general yelling matches we've just got tired of each other as couples sometimes do. I'm moving out of the apartment at the end of April, to hopefully start a new fresh chapter in my life and leave behind all the crap that's been bogging me down. I'm also slowly coming to terms with the idea that i'm 'properly' single for the first time in years, and instead of being disheartened i'm thinking with clarity.

Roald Dahl wrote a fantastic short story called 'My Uncle Oswald' which chronicled the lifelong exotic sexual encounters of a old millionaire bachelor (unsuprisingly written for an article in playboy). Maybe that's the way to go?

Aaanyway - good (and I mean fxxing awesome) news came at the weekend in that CrunchyCo want to fly me out to Seattle in may to play with Fighter X+Trash80!. Total score and it will mean a great deal to get away from the UK for a while and have a tiny adventure. I'll update with more details soon.

One more thing, Saskrotch's new record is going to blow your bloody underwear off.
