New album from awesome London band

by

If you hang around these parts much, you will know that I adore Colour Me Wednesday.

Colour Me Wednesday is an indie punk band from west London and they are awesome.

The band is fronted by sisters Jen and Harriet Doveton, while the current line up is rounded out by Jaca Freer and Laura Ankles.

Everything the band releases is fabulous, so it should go without saying that you should instantly listen to/buy/stream the new Colour Me Wednesday album called Counting Pennies in the Afterlife.

If I was a musician, I reckon it would piss me off royally if critics said I sound like another band or I was the new so-and-so. So you get no sort of comparisons from me to try and convince you to listen to Colour Me Wednesday.

All I’m going to say is that this music makes me happy when I listen to it and I think you will get a buzz from it, too.

Stream the album on Spotify if your personal politics permit.

Take a more ethical approach and buy the album via Bandcamp. There are bundles!

Head over to YouTube to watch the music video for the first single from the album, Sunriser. The band can be seen doing a bit of vegan grocery shopping in this video!

To speed up your eventual infatuation with Colour Me Wednesday, be sure to follow the band on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

New music from Colour Me Wednesday

by

One of my favourite bands out of London is the fabulous Colour Me Wednesday.

This band releases some of the best music you will hear out of London and in even better news they also champion vegan causes.

Because I think it is a great idea to support independent artists (especially if they are vegan), I am sharing the link where you can pre-order the soon-to-be-released new album by Colour Me Wednesday.

Click here to order and help keep the arts alive… and hear some fucking fantastic music.

Vegan band has new EP & it’s FABULOUS

by

If you hang around my blog with any regularity, you will instantly recognise Colour Me Wednesday.

Colour Me Wednesday create some of the most irresistible music you will hear right now and they put on an absolutely killer live show. If you were fortunate enough to be at the final night of my Vegan Roadshow last summer, you will know exactly why I sing the praises of this band. They raised the roof.

Now that you know you should be paying attention to this band, here is some homework for you:

Get over to Upset Magazine by clicking here to listen to the brand new Colour Me Wednesday EP. The website also has a fab interview with Jennifer and Harriet from the band in which Harriet boldly states, “Go vegan. It seriously rules and I’m in permanent food heaven.”

Homework part 2?

Get along to one of these upcoming Colour Me Wednesday live shows. All the dates contain links with details, so there is no saying that FGV didn’t give you enough info. Support live music made and performed by vegans.

APRIL
01 Wharf Chambers, Leeds
02 Opium, Edinburgh
03 Fulford Arms, York
04 Retro Bar, Manchester
05 DIY Space for London, London
08 Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar, Brighton

Homework the 3rd:

Get over to the Colour Me Wednesday Facebook page to like it and the Twitter page for a spot of following.

Homework part 4 (I used to be a school teacher):

Go to the Colour Me Wednesday Bandcamp page right now to order the new EP, Anyone and Everyone, and to listen to some of their older tracks.

Extra note:

I love Colour Me Wednesday so thoroughly, I even asked the band if I could use one of their tracks as the theme song for the cooking videos I make with my friend Julio. There is nothing as cool as having a song about being vegan that is written and performed by a kick ass vegan band as the theme song to a series of vegan Mexican cooking videos.

Vegan music

by

Music is one of my great loves, as is veganism. How cool that I get to combine the two!

As you know (because I never shut up about it), I am taking Australian band Love Like Hate on the road around the UK this July. Animal Equality are joining us for the shows calling at Nottingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Oxford and London.

The final night of the tour is taking place at 100% vegan restaurant and nightspot, Kabaret. Of course we will be giving massive love to Love Like Hate before they fly back to Australia, but I’ve added another band to this final show line up and believe me when I say you don’t want to miss out.

Colour Me Wednesday are a fab independent punk/indie/pop band from West London. To put it in simple terms: they are fucking awesome.

Check out this insanely enjoyable song and music video.

Colour Me Wednesday aren’t just pumping out killer tunes, they are also dedicated vegans with a distinct disliking of sexism. They are my type of people.

July 31, 2015 is serving up probably the best vegan value you are gonna get for many years to come. I’ll be hosting. Two vegan bands will be storming through the entertainment. Animal Equality will be selling merchandise and signing people up. A DJ will be taking over the stage following the bands. Buy your ticket in advance and you also get two EP downloads from Love Like Hate!

All of this for just £5. I’m not fucking kidding you. Just £5.

You gotta book a ticket today. We are using funds raised to pay for the UK tour so please encourage friends to grab some tickets, too.

If you can’t make it to the final London date but would like to support the Vegan Roadshow tour, visit our Indiegogo campaign page to make a donation. Every single donation helps.

Unnoticed

by

Think back to the glory that was London Vegan Beer Fest and you will recall I invited a fabulous band from my home town of Brisbane, Australia to play a gig for the drunken masses.

Love Like Hate played a killer set and made more than a few new fans on the day.

Fast forward to now and I am helping the band with promotion of their brand new EP, Unnoticed.

You can click here to access the world premiere of the music video for the title track.

Watch it, enjoy it, share it and help vegan musicians.

Cool stuff!
