Anniversary

Hey all

Exactly a year ago to the day my lovely wife and I were married - she's wonderful and I feel so lucky to have her.  Very special indeed.

A few photos from the wedding:

It was a wonderful day.

Happy - we're off for a meal now.

Tough Week

The ustream gig was great - wonderful so many people watched. This week was all down hill from here. Walking home on Monday night I was attacked by some "youths" in the street on the way home. They attacked me from behind striking me round the back of the head. I was shocked and angry, the Police arrived quickly and were helpful. I've had headaches all week and a nasty bump on the back of my head. Every time i go out and see a group of kids i am on edge. Arseholes. Apparently I have mild concussion. Thanks to everyone who sent me nice messages. Here is a video of the ustream gig - i REALLY hope you enjoy it - let me know what you think. I'm just about to confirm a London gig - will post in the next few days..... Matt

Ustream today

Hello The link for tonights gig at 8pm is http://www.ustream.tv/channel/Matt-Stevens-From-The-Box-Room hope to see you there Matt PS My camera is broken on my phone - what are the new iphones like???

Ustream gig THIS SUNDAY!!!!

Hello

I am deeply upset abot the BNP getting 2 MEPs in the UK  - arseholes. Sad state of affairs - racism sucks, full stop.  For more information on fighting the BNP click here.

Changed my strings ready for the ustream gig on Sunday - full info on my site click here - starting at 8pm BST. Live gig streaming on tinterweb - i'm going to do a few covers this time - a 500 year old folk song and all sorts.  Would be great to see you there.

Really want a new iphone - THEY DO VIDEO!!!!! YES, about time - you can edit on the phone then upload straight to Youtube - genius.

Heres a video of my last ustream gig so you can get the idea of what its all about:

There is a cool chat feature as well.

Thanks

Matt

Pssst - Want to hear a new song

Hello Here is a new song from the new album coming next year if funding and inspiration allow. Its called Lake Man and the credits are: Me - Acoustic Guitar, Melodica, Kaossilator Kevin Feazey - Mellotron, Programming, Piano Stuart Marshall - Drum Loop(cut up by Kev) Let me know what you think. Its a bit of an unmastered rough mix but i've lived with it for a couple of weeks and i'm pretty happy with it. It was great using instruments other than a guitar for a change. Thanks Matt

I love bank holidays

Spent the day playing guitar - writing this:

Working on a new song with a big riff on 12seconds.tv

Mrs S and I went to see the squirrels - they seemed to be hiding - the park was too busy. Watched far too much On The Buses - it was an all day marathon on ITV3.

Time to start recording.

Acoustic Helmet

Hello

This week i've been mostly writing new stuff. I've written a new song in Drop D kind of an acoustic Helmet riff meets Kraftwerk on the chorus. Just need a name - i'm thinking of adding some Vocoder vocals as well.

I've had some lovely responses to the podcast and some great contributions from listeners.

I've been bidding on one of these on Ebay - Speak and Spells rock (but i'm not paying £40)

I've taken some scary photos:

I think i will keep doing them. I'm starting to think about the next ustream gig for June - maybe i'll try some more songs there.

Take it easy
