Digitalism in Chisineau

For all you non-believers out there, Digitalism WILL be playing in Chisineau next week, and that's a 100% true fact. If you still don't believe me, here's the word straight from the horses mouth. We're traveling convoy style from Bucharest. I've never been to Moldova before... can't wait.

Rock N Roll Graveyard...

Oh, I wonder what that is coming over the snow-capped mountain? Why, it's a sleigh filled with all sorts of useless crap you can only get rid of at Christmas, the season of kitsch and bad taste! And who's driving the sleigh into Bucharest? Is it santa claus? That would be an easy mistake to make, but no it's Shakin Stevens, who last had a hit in about 1984 when he sang rock n'roll style about a green door.

He's probably really popular here but the only reason I can think of going to the concert is to see, if due to old age or Parkinsons, he really is Shaking Stevens.

Anyway to prove that Rock N Roll never dies, here's a photo of a very cool car I saw on the Bucharest streets that looks like it stepped out of "American Grafitti" but is probably from Russia. (If anyone can identify it, i'd be intrigued).



Just to enlighten readers who aren't from Romania, this NYE we have the likes of Tom Jones, The Prodigy, Europe, Alphaville and Sophie Ellis Bextor to choose from. However things are looking up (a bit) for next year with Kylie, Lenny Kravitz, Iron Maiden, Radiohead and the wonderful PJ Harvey already confirmed to play.

Fashion Fair Photos

Fashion East's Fashion Fair was a resounding success. Over 30 stall holders filled La Scena with vintage, new and second hand clothes and accessories. Charlie Le Mindu (hairdresser to the stars) left his mark on the barnets of Bucharest, before flying back to Berlin with a hangover and a heavy heart. I played music for hours and hours.

The people came, they shopped, they wiggled their hips and everyone went home with a smile on their face.

Fashion East Fashion Fair

Tomorrow we're hosting the Fashion East Fashion Fair at La Scena. We've hand picked over 30 stallholders from across Romania, who will be selling everything from new and secondhand, vintage to accessories, alongside established and upcoming designers selling their own creations.

To add a certain 'je ne sai quoi' to the occasion we have flown in from Berlin Mr Charlie Le Mindu, a french hair stylist whose client list reads like a who's who of the Berlin fashion and music scene - Chicks on Speed, Angie Read, Planning To Rock, Robots In Disguise.... He will be spending the day cutting hair for the lucky few, gesticulating wildly, and changing his outrageous outfits quicker than you can say 'brown is the new black'.


I'll be there, swaning about and providing a suitable soundtrack for the precedings, along with hair and make up artists to make you look glamorous and fashion photographers to capture the moment.

The Nightingale & The Rose

This week a contemporary rendition of Oscar Wilde's "The Nightingale and the Rose" played at Romania's National Theatre, in Bucharest. The play was conceived and directed by Carmen Lidia Vidu, and I was the Musical Director! It was an interesting project to be involved in and it was a first for me as I have never compiled a music score for the theatre before.

You can see some footage HERE!
