In common with my personal blog at
Listless 2am Thoughts, blogging for me seems to be almost a thing of the past, now that you can instantly update your mood on Twitter (subject to available number of characters, of course) or everyone's favourite default, Facebook.
Since the time of the last major update I posted here, Tim OT formed an indie/punk/folk hybrid style band called
Kill The Witness. It comprised Tim as rhythm guitar/lead vocal, me on keyboards/synths, Iman Ahmed on bass, Tom Dulieu on drums/3rd backing vocals and Aaron Gregory Brown on lead guitar/backing vocals. Iman would later be replaced by George Bunting around October 2017. Tom Dulieu departed to concentrate on his solo career, and was temporarily replaced by Rhys Feldman (the excellent sound engineer from The Fighting Cocks in Kingston). And now? George Bunting left this month as he moved to Maida Vale, not to mention that the other band he is in is doing better. Rhys's visa ran out and the government requested he move back to Baltimore, NJ. Our once proud five piece became a three piece. Luckily, Tim recruited a new drummer and bassist, but the drama doesn't stop there. Eventually, the band will, at Tim's instigation, be rebranded as "Tim OT" to reflect that the band are not always available to busk and promote our music as a collective whole, to acknowledge that his latest viral video has achieved in excess of 500k hits, and to also acknowledge he has already released material on Banquet Records. It was basically felt that there was groundwork there that we are not capitalising on.
With our last gig as Kill The Witness on Saturday, now feels like the right time to celebrate every gig Kill The Witness played - luckily, I've created a gig history when we started up just over 18 months ago, so without further ado, here it is:
