That’s right, drum-monkey Russell is back from his travels to exotic lands, many and wondrous.
Having just dropped in from the States with a Union Flag parachute on his back, Russell made an appearance at the Hare and Hounds gig on Saturday 24th, before being dragged on stage for an unplanned encore of Midnight Sun. Despite not having played for three months, he did us all proud.
Of course, Russell’s return also marks the end of Dan O’Driscoll’s spell with the band. We’d like to thank him for all his efforts! We’re sad to see him go, but he is already working with another band and we wish him the best of luck.

Rock Riot is back this Friday, this time causing a nuisance at the Pressure Point on Richmond Place, Brighton.
The line-up features Left Hand Red as headliners, with Paris Bianco and Arty Karate as evil sidekicks. Doors open at 8pm, and entry is £5. Get yourself down early, and you might even bag a free CD.
Rock Riot is a recurring event held in no particular regularity by Left Hand Red and their closest associates. Each event has featured hand-picked bands to ensure no daft haircut-wielding, rock-by-numbers poseurs, with Left Hand Red headlining to bring the evening to a raucous finish.

Happy New Year!
We’re pleased to announce our first gig of 2008, and it’s a big one. The Cable Club have started up a sister show at The Prince Albert on Trafalgar Street, Brighton, and they asked us to headline! We couldn’t really say “no”, could we? Not only do you get us headlining, but also playing are 4 or 5 Magicians and Lost Cosmonaut!
As the icing on the bun, Phil Jackson of Southern Counties Radio and Sean Cread of Radio Reverb will be playing tracks by local unsigned bands downstairs to set the mood for the ensuing mayhem.
Sweet.
