Time for a brief resumé: Friday 23rd saw Tom Ashforth joined by the six-man Plastic Buckles at fotoraum. Thanks to all you beautiful Buckles, the fantastic fotoraum Frauen, the fabulous Fotografen and the awesome audience. Photos and a video are now up on the fotoraum website.
After being rediscovered by the German anthropologist and documentary filmmaker Paul Müller, whose forthcoming feature-length biopic of the band is due out next year, La More were persuaded to play two last-ever shows at Stereo Wonderland and Gebäude 9. Pictures are to follow and a trailer of Less is Less is now online.

La More are back! The self-proclaimed OAPs (old-age punks) are reuniting for a one-off gig at Cologne’s Gebäude 9 on the 2nd of October, supporting local heroes Locas in Love. Very few details as yet, but a 1-hour documentary special on Arte is in the pipeline. Watch this space for details.

Thanks be to those who came to the gig at Katinka. I (we) had a cracking time, hope you did too. If you weren’t there, not to worry: this Saturday (25th June) Tom Ashforth and the Scaffold Bracket Brothers will be playing at Nina Vohs’s goldsmith shop/workshop. We're playing at a slightly earlier time, around 7pm, so the kids can come and you can fit us in before skipping happily to the next gig. This event will be completely acoustic and won't cost a penny.

I'm really excited to announce I'll be playing two solo shows, with very special guests, over the next few weeks. They said it could never be done, but next Thursday, 9th of June, will see the first outing of Tom Ashforth’s Tijuana Brass at the top culture-cafe Katinka. And just two weeks later (25th June), join us at Nina Vohs’s goldsmith shop/workshop for a c/o pop fringe event. It’s gonna be cosy and goldie.
