Salutations ladies and gents!

I’m pleased to report that the recording and mixing of Tiger Tail has now been completed. Now all that is left is for it to be mastered and then released upon the world with reckless abandon! Watch this space for a sneaky titillating peak. Cue maniacal laughter…

Anyhoo, I’ve also got two shows in London this week. First at The 12 Bar on Thursday with Tankus The Henge & The BeauBowBelles, which is going to rock! Second at Blueprint on Friday which is an early set but its in a student union dive, so the drinks are incredibly cheap, huzzah!

Until next time…

Good day to you ladies and gentlemen!

I’ve been a busy little fucker recently and so there be plenty news with which to enlighten your mind and illuminate your lives!

First off, my music podcast, The Organ Grinder, has made its triumphant return and is now sponsored by Villainous Records which is jolly nice of them. You can check it out on iTunes or whatever podcasting platform you use with your phone or mobile media device, there’s an Android app you can purchase, or you can find it on my website at CharlieKhan.net – Huzzah!

I also have a new recorded release in the works, a two track single by the name of “Tiger Tail”, which shall feature 2 songs, “Tiger Tail” (obviously), and “The Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation Blues”. And yes, it is as much fun as it sounds! I shall also be doing a couple of videos to accompany the release which is tentatively and rather roughly scheduled for release “this year” through Villainous Records. It’ll be soon though, I promise ye, and if you are wise enough to join the mailing list you will recieve first word of it, and perhaps a freebie…. joy!

Finally, I gots me and my indentured musical dogsbodies, The Bullfrog Chorus, a few shows coming up. The 1st is at the 12 Bar on Denmark St, London with BeauBowBelles and Tankus The Henge. These two bands are killer, so you’ve got to come to that if you’re in the area. The second is at Blueprint in Holborn which is at some sort of fashion-higher-education-fashiony-fashion-thing which is probably as wanky as it sounds but the drinks are cheap! Finally, we’ll be making an appearance at the Kingston River Festival in…. Kingston, on the 10th July, which’ll be fun. If you’re in Kingston that is. Details, as always, are below.

Oh and come join me on the Facebook if you haven’t already at www.facebook.com/charliekhanofficial

Ta ta for now!
