Sexton Ming - New Vinyl Album

Sexton Ming's last solo album "A Lifetime of Nervous Gutaches #3" came out in 2010 and so it is high time the avid music enthusiasts among us were treated to another dose. A veritable gallery of sounds awaits you, bringing the battle cry with comfort to the sweetest and the strange. Blessed be to YOU the listener. The newest offering from Ex Gratia Recordings will be a long playing vinyl record of Sexton's missive to the nation and world at large. Entitled 'Protect and Survive',this piece of fossiliferous sea creature will serve to warm cockles in these dark days.

Album launch performance will take place at the Stags Head, London N1.

anarchistwood are busy recording their third studio album. Working title seems to be THE NASTY ALBUM (after a deep discussion with Zali Krishna in between-the-festival-dates Noise gig in East London) Since Erreth died in the post apocalyptic chaos of 2012 they are using the intermediate services of Mada Nomdak for mixing which at this point seems that a flowering of wood in bloom may grace universal ears Summer 2013

that clever LIGHTHEART PICTURES guy David Blair has made another video... this time with the help of sorceror's apprentice Joel Rosenberg...

mp3 download album EXGr8 LP2 - 10.09.08

Long awaited album brought to you by performance soloist - Handsum Pete. Wedding dresses and maracas on the winkie aside, Pete brings melodies and melodrama in fabulous proportions. Both horrendously sticky and uncomfortably addictive you will be joining up with the 'Church' once you get your ramshackle arse out of the gutter and speed to the nearest offie for something to raise your spirits. It's a Rum Doo after all.

Anarchistwood

"No. 36/Door"

7” vinyl / 45rpm / full colour artwork / 500 copies / EXGr8 7.2 - 10.09.08

A single! how spiffing... anarchistwood managed to get Mike 'da Bone' Blackwood down on vinyl before he headed back to Arizona mid 2008. Number 36 will have you pegging your washing out with a glint in your eye from now on and suddenly drudgery can be fun...

flip side Door was written with John Joe "Ash" Amador in mind and features on the soundtrack of new punkvert film - 402 - about the last days of Ash's life and the journey UK artists had with him and his friends and family in Texas. Ash was executed by the state of Texas 29th August 2007.

Rude Mechanicals

"The Devil Wants To Be / Irritating Fly"

7” vinyl / 45rpm / full colour artwork / 500 copies / EXGr8 7.1

A pan-Dimensional Creature manifesting itself in your reality as an Absurd Rock Band consisting of Miss Roberts and her symbiotic slaves. In March 2001, after a performance of her surreal and absurd poetry, Miss Roberts joined with Guy Avern and Cos Chapman (Savage Earthworm Collective) and together formed the band. The performances are very theatrical and include such things as lessons in toe sucking, the mythology of Derek: the man who lives in the loft, and instructions on DIY flying.

Anarchistwood

"Blessed are the Cracked for They Let in the Light"

12” double vinyl / 33.3rpm / full colour artwork / 333 copies / EXGr8 LP

The flagship band for Ex Gratia, have been together since mid 2006. Early vocal contributions from the notorious gob$au$age's Mark and Susie led to dirty versions of Vagrant that can be heard on the album. Andro Ortiz added percussion to the early 'Wood line up and drums on several tracks on 'Blessed'. Singer/songwriter Marianne Hyatt added a melodic entity to the 'Wood between July 06 and March 08, much of which can be heard on the debut double album.
