Here it is then, the cover of our new single “The Wrong Place”. It’s being released on 28th June under our Wailing Woo label. It is also the first recording of us as a four-piece and will be available through all good itunes type stores.
Also we are playing our first gig with new lineup this month. Here is the facebook. Here are the details…

Last thursday we’ve been mixing our new single at Monster Dubz Studio,home of the mighty Dub Providers. I’ve played some skankin riddim and killa guitar leads for these dudes before, check out their link
It’s been amazing to get Walker onboard and help us out mixing “The Wrong Place” due for release in June. Watch this space…
Show 1: Democracy On Trial
BonBonJoviJovi play again this week in another political event…. Democracy On Trial. It is a “post-election extravaganza of poetry, music, discussion, art and film” according to our friends at Mutiny. We’ll be doing some topical soundscape pieces which will invariably descend from good intentions to full on industrial screaming and glitch.
Resistance Gallery, 265 Poyser Street, London E2 9RF
Show 2: NO FUN
I will also be performing some sound art at the upcoming No Fun event. It’s a new night of comedy, improvisation and spoken word put on by the King and Queen of Cable Street Studios… Samir and Zoe. I’ll be acting as like a DJ, but without records, making some improvised sounds and art noises inbetween acts.
The George Tavern, 373 Commercial Road, E1
Come down! We will also be announcing the first New Panic Attract show soon too… Watch this space!
So we had another practice today and it was great fun especially since everyone was away for a bit, the busy lives of sha la la langs…)
Anyhow, we’re pretty much ready and readier for a new launch gig very very soon, hence the need for a group shot which will enable yus to laugh at our faces…
Here are some murky recordings from bonbonjovijovi’s latest set at the really excited about deptford night… The Birds Nest is a great bar but also full of old chavs and this gave rise to some interesting reactions for our noisey indulgences. Some of which I recorded for use in another set another time… But anyway..
This Friday we’re taking the Bon Bon Jovi Jovi roadshow to Deptford. It is at the Birds Nest and part of the fantastically good monthly night “I’m really excited about Deptford” which is presented by our brothers Bob Constant and the Goodbye Horses. This time we’re going to air some new basswonk we’ve been working on and jump around to sped up bagpipes (as usual)..
This shady looking picture is evidence of us at work in the studio, finally starting the album. We spent a sunny sunday recording drums with new basher matt and the results were both smashing and lovely. We’re now at work editing and overdubbing for our first 2 singles! The day was particularly testing given the previous nights DJ adventure where I got paid in beer. It was a success of sorts and managed to get a rammed out Catch dancing a bit with some nice dancehall and ravey stuff. Major Lazer particularly went down well. I love Diplo.
Anyway, I’m doing the DJ thing again this Friday at the George Tavern on Whitechapel Road. It’s shaping up to be a good night with Bo Ningen, Blue on Blue, Bob Constant and Trash Kit playing live and a host of other DJs. Plus it’s our mate Samir’s birthday so come down and wish him well.
and happy easter you christians/chocolate lovers out there.
I’m playing my first “DJ” set this Saturday at Catch in Shoreditch. I use the term DJ lightly as I have no records or no skills at mixing. I do have lots of nice dub mp3s which I’m going to play out of ableton. I have to try and avoid the temptation of playing really obscure stuff just for the hell of it. people like to dance or so i’m told.
But it should be a good night, with My Drug Hell, Maria and the Mirrors and Blue on Blue also playing their fav records.
