.:hello:.
Last mailout before christmas from us with a brief bit of performance news
and other gubbins.
Firstly, thanks to all the US based people that made it down to vOID last
month to witness our first New York performance. We had an absolutely top
time of it and appreciated the reception. Massive thanks and props go out
to Record Camp for running a great night down there, and to Graham Bunce for
looking after us and being the definition of metrosexual.
The New York gig was also an opportunity for us to test out our new cut-down
laptop show which worked well. Now that we can perform in a number of
configurations (from a full band to andy and his lappy), we'll be hoping to
play abroad quite a bit in the new year. We'll keep you posted. In the
meantime, if anyone wishes to book us, or put us in touch with overseas
promoters, festivals etc, then drop us an email at admin@digitonal.com and
we'll chat further. We're bang up for it at the moment!
.:digitonal at the Winter Gardens:.
There is something rather special happening this Friday at Sheffield's
Winter Gardens, which we are very proud to be involved with. We'll be
hooking up with Lighting Designer James Harrison and the highly acclaimed,
zeitgeist-capturing Media Lounge to create an audio visual installation - 4
hours of lighting, projections with a devised ambient soundtrack created
live by us, Xela (city center offices), feedle and paul*65. It'll be
running from 4pm to 8pm next Friday, the 12th December and will be free.
Take a break from the christmas shopping and come and experience something
magical. For those that haven't seen the winter gardens, here's a great
night-time picture:

that filled with light, moving image and beautiful music. The winter
gardens can be found in Sheffield city center - move toward the light!
.:in the bleep midwinter:.

somewhere.
Saturday 20th December
It's All About The Turkey 2!
Kinky Voodoo's annual Xmas extravaganza, 2 rooms of hip-hop, pop, rock,
bootlegs and whatever else we can get our filthy mits on, selections
supplied by the King of the Boots OSYMYSO, THE FELONIOUS PUNK, CRACKIN
SKULLZ, RED ALERT, RAISE THE STEAKS & DONT FAKE THE FUNK. All this plus all
the random christmas rubbish you'd expect, pies, carols, miseltoe for the
shy and ugly and the infamous TURKEY RAFFLE!
8pm till 1am / Tickets £5 in advance (ask at the bar or email
xmas@kinkyvoodoo.com ) and £7 on the door.
New Years Eve
Kinky Voodoo's New Years Eve
You could pay £30+ to spend an hour queuing at a personality free big club
to dance to the same music you'd hear anyother night of the year, you could,
but of course then you'd be a bit stupid really, especially when you could
pay just a fraction of that to party down at the Bull, enjoy a proper party
atmosphere, pub style, and throw some stupid dance moves to THE FELONIOUS
PUNK's premium rate party mix. With added support from the likes DONT FAKE
THE FUNK, our favourite TOKEN GIRLZ and a few surprise guests. We'll even
have a bit of a sing-song when Big Ben bongs its bells.
8pm till 3am / Tickets £5 in advance (ask at the bar or email
xmas@kinkyvoodoo.com ) and £7 on the door.
.:ends:.
And that's it from us this year. The next time you hear from us will be
confirming our release schedule for the year. We're going into BBC Maida
Vale this weekend (thanks to Daniel Mumford) to record the last bits of
strings that we need. Not wanting to let the cat out of the bag too quickly
(we're a fan of the done when it's done release method), you can expect to
find an exclusive track on a Smallfish Records compilation, and ep's for
Toytronic and Seed, with the latter including our first collaboration with
legendary ambient vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw. More on this soon!
We leave you with the customary Top 10 of 2003, compiled by Andy. This is
what's been rocking our socks. Have a very happy holidays.
