My name is Al Petfield and I was born in London, UK, on March 14th, 1971. I now live in Bristol. I'm a web designer/developer and I'm interested in painting, drawing, digital art, music, photography, Flash, astronomy, cinema, language, semiotics and the usual web stuff.
Stars, Apostle of Hustle @ Thekla
I went to see Stars, supported by Apostle of Hustle, at the Thekla last night. It took a little while for the sound desk to sort out the vocal levels, but once they had, Stars rocked - Take Me To The Riot (hear it here) was fantastic. Most of the set was recent material but it was really great to hear them do Elevator Love Letter - one of my favourite tracks.
I’d never heard of Apostle of Hustle (left) before but they were excellent - check out My Sword Hand’s Anger on their MySpace page. Their last couple of songs featured the drummer playing (very nicely) what appeared to be a vintage hifi speaker.
