Nizlopi Summer Festivals!:
Nizlopi have decided that we would love to play some shows together this year. So we are! It's been a while. We are hungry to dance together and lash out our songs. So if you want some Sweaty, passionate, soul baring, revolutionary, folk hip-hop, come along and get some! We hope to see you in the Summer. But WE WILL NOT PLAY JCB,........... Ok maybe we will. And Ed Sheeran will guitar tech the shows for us (The last sentence is a lie). Full gig listing below. Please do pass this on to any one you think should be at these shows, we don't know when the next ones will be. Are we getting back together and doing full time Nizlopi? No; John is involved in loads of cool projects, see here, and follow him on Twitter @jpdoublebass, Luke has an album of his own coming out this year (which is fecking brilliant!) click here for details, and @lukeconcannon on Twitter.
Barn on the farm, in Gloucester, UK: 7th July, 2nd stage Headline.
Tonefest, in Poole, Dorset, UK 19th July.
Croisant Neuff Summer Party: 9th August.

Busy times
10/02/13
So this week has been mental. In a good way and in a Double bass way too.
On Monday 4th I met for the first time and recorded with the lovely Adam Wedd We recorded a Live video for Ont Sofa will put it up as soon as it goes live. Am recording on his Ep later this month too. I also taught some Double bass.
Tuesday I went back to Ont' sofa to record with Antonio Lulic and Jharda Walker and recorded "Now it's cold" later that day I got together with the uber talented Annie eve to jam, with a view to doing some live shows together.
Thursday was Double bass lesson day. I've been having Classical Double bass lessons for a while now and I'm loving them. Have been playing Vivaldi's Cello Sonata No 5 and Bach's cello Suite No1 (very challenging on the double bass) especially as i'm trying to play it in the same register as the Cello.
Friday back in Bens Studio (now in our living room) to record Double bass for the new Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker album. It sounds lush a definite must hear.
Saturday More double bass practice then to the South bank to see The Rest is Noise exhibition. I saw a mad film about Debussy staring Oliver Reed as Debussy. Was a very trippy experience.
Sunday I recorded in coventry with the lovely Chris smith and steve Jones aka Stylus boy we recorded 9 tracks in an all day session, sounds awesome. I've no idea how i keep so many songs in my head.
More to follow. Bed awaits.

Recording with Ryan Keen 08/01/13
Happy New Year.
I ended last year recording with Paper Aeroplanes Putting the finishing touches to two more tracks. It's sounding great i'm very much looking forward to hearing it when it's all done.
Release date tbc but later this year. Watch this space.
So what better way to start the new year than by recording a few tracks on Ryan Keen's debut album
Ryan's record comes out later this year and is being produced by Patrick Wood. It's sounding real good.
This year sees the return of a one off Nizlopi gig.
We're playing one of my favourite festivals Tonefest in Poole. Tickets going fast.
Well that's it from me, short and sweet.
It's going to be a busy year and a year with a difference.
All the best. John X
