I love these book covers, by indie publishing blokies, Sing Statistics. They’re a collab of illustrators and designers and I can’t get enough of this awesomely Brechtian (sorry – drama child) way of spoiling everything and setting up expectations by giving you the facts right there on a very nicely designed and quite beautiful plate.

I’ve been thinking about what the Bim cover might say…

1 boy
1 girl
17 instruments
1m cups of tea
8 pannels of acoustic treatment
6 pirates
An encounter with some Greeks

…What do you think Bimlets?

Hey, it’s stopped snowing let’s all go out and play dancing on ice* : )

*Shoreditch High Street is inadvertently the UKs largest public ice rink right now.

Bim the Band!

It finally happened last night…

Since Bim was released yonks ago, we’ve been searching for a way to play our tunes live. The trial and error method meant spending a long time messing with backingtracks, PA systems equipped for screamy rock bands, various musicians and learning how to use a mic when you can’t hear what’s coming out of your mouth.

So when it clicked last night with our wonderful line up: Tim on keys, Adam on bass, Ellie on vox/synths and (finally, an amazing drummer!) Dave, we had those smiles that make your cheeks ache.

So excited : )
