Hi, long time since we sent a newsletter....wrapped up in Myspace!! Just to see if anyone is still out there, here's the latest update from our website....regards, Intensified.
News
News just in, we have the pleasure of doing an open air show locally, in Folkestone, Saturday the 23rd June...this week!! It's below the Leas Cliff at the Amphitheatre...it's a great spot, looking out to the sea...it's part of a local family entertainment day, with magicians, arts, and bands, (images of Spinal Tap and puppet shows??!) we're on around 7.30 in the evening, followed by fireworks...it's free, and weather permitting, should be a great event. Hope to see you there.
So what so far this year?? We've had the pleasure of some truly memorable gigs...in Oxford a packed Zodiac enjoyed Alton Ellis on fine form, a real joy for us, and Dave Barker also joined us to warm the crowd up...hope it gets repeated...in Girona, Catalunya (Spain)we played the Rude Cat festival with the Pioneers, Westbound Train, the Pepperpots, and Rude and Visser in front of 2000, it has to be repeated next year!!....and recently in Margate we had a party with a sharp dressed crowd for 'Bank Holiday 1970', Dave Barker getting down with us for nearly 2 hours!! Truly vintage!! Boss....
Go now, well, once you've read the rest of this, and look at the May edition of 'Ska News'on the Intensified website ( www.intensified.net ) ...top bits from around the globe in one handy page!!
What else?? Oh, some celebrity endorsements!! Phil Jupitus kindly asked if we had any new releases planned, and told us he had played us on BBC Radio 6 ! News to us!? AND anyone watch City Lights?? Formerly called Northern Lights? With Robson Green and Mark Benton? Great show...and it just so happens that Mark (Early Doors/adverts for a famous bank/Booze Cruise etc) is a fan, and wore an Intensified t shirt in the last episode whilst on the London Eye! yeah!! Mainstream tv for all of 3 or 4 seconds!! Thanks Mark....by the way, talking of Marks, have you checked our Myspace?? Couple of tracks plus chat from the Mark Lamarr show we did at Xmas for BBC Radio 2...
Also on Myspace we have a video of Intensified with Alton Ellis...go now and see the Rocksteady Daddy in action...
