New Launch Date!!!

Let's be honest - we all knew it was bound to happen. We've pushed the launch back, due to the inordinate amount of time is taking to cut this video down and get the track rerecorded, as well as getting the new website up. Yes, there's a new website abound.


Anyhow, we've now confirmed that the launch date for New Balance is going to be Tuesday 7 December and the fabulous Favela Chic. Check out the venue's website - it's pretty sick. We're well excited, if a little tired from the copious running about we've all been doing. By the way, check out our new Youtube Channel. 'Tis well exciting.

Friends & Family - Part 2 - Purple Turtle Beads

 

Easy up - a slightly impromptu blog entry, considering I haven't uploaded the Behind-the-Scenes stuff yet, but we couldn't really pass this one up! We went up to Leicester last week for the mighty Jamfest 2010 underground music festival. While we were there, we found a proper top-shelf material stand selling these wicked hama-bead neck-pieces and jewellery - Purple Turtle Beads be its name!. 

QE:ES - Sun, Sand, Sea, such a pain in the arse - PART 1 - The intro

I should have been writing this blog entry last Wednesday - Friday at the latest. Given that it is now the preceeding Friday, over a week and a half after the Queens English crew was supposed to be back from Spain, might give a hint to the mindnumbing terror that we have experienced at the hands of the British institution that is Easy Jet, the Spainish Social Workers Party, a forgetful blonde, a dumbass turk and a small brown man with an ass that just won't stop (me).

Our Mates - Part 1 - Dark Sky / Boogaloo Crew

This is an aspect of the blog that I've wanted to write about for fucking ages. We've been around for a fair while, and we've got about a fair ol' bit. In the course of doing so, we've had our fair share of crackheads, gammon-handed fools and ketamine freaks. And that's just our mate Tom.


But our travels, trials and tribulations have brought us into contact with some excessively brilliant and talented people, who've influenced us no end and more importantly, provide proper joke of a Friday night down the Grand Union. The first, and most fabulous of these are the fucking fantastic Dark Sky crew, also known in an alternative incarnation as the Boogaloo Crew.

Minor Horror Countdown...

The above picture was me - when I realised we have under a month and a half until our party for New Balance. And week after next we've got the video shoot in Alicante. Yes. Indeed. Stress times. But it's funny how the more stressed I get about things, the more detached I become from the problem and indeed reality. Hence, my decision to blog - the 21st Century equivalent of fiddling while Rome burns.

Where we're going for this video...

Guadarmar del Segura - apparently this is near where our mate Tom Robinson got robbed at knife point. And it's also going to be the venue where we're gonna be shooting the vid for New Balance...or Neuvo Equilibria, as Sherlock has deftly translated. Have we filming permission, licensing, health and safety checks? Of course not. Because we're fucking Hip Hop. But thankfully, so few people actually read this blog, I don't think it's actually going to be a problem...Real Hip Hop...

Bosh - last track DONE

In a world where Asil Nadir can return to England unscathed, where Miley Cyrus hasn't been touched up wrong and where I can be struck down by a really, really awful eye infection, there is no godforsaken reason why QE can't pen a fucking awesome tune in a 5/4 time signiture. And here it fucking is. And with that, ladies and gentlemen, the QE2 Demo is DONE. Start spreading the word. Like, now....
