First of all, apologies for the lack of blogging on my part. Been busy interviewing and writing exclusive features for our first issue due out beginning of May.
If you have no plans for this evening, Birmingham’s Secret Wars FINAL is taking place at The Rainbow Warehouse in Digbeth. I’m going, you should too.
The battle is between Bevlak and Phill Blake for the right to be crowned Secret Wars Champion of Birmingham 2008/2009. I attended the second semi-final last month and it was a thoroughly enjoyable night which you won’t be able to experience for another year!
Melonz’ editor and designer – Katherine Higgs will also be playing drums for her band The Epics in The Rainbow pub supporting Isolated Atoms. Why not check out both?
Be there for 8pm to catch all of the music, 9pm for the art.
See you later

I could go on and on and on. Lazy Oaf is a pure joy, its a little bit nutty, a little bit mad but all in all a pure joy.
I’m not going to go into great detail about Lazy Oaf in this post, I’ll let you check out their website for yourselves.
The lovely Lazy Oaf team will shortly be providing us with images of their brand new, unseen collection. But surely, could anything top the burger hat? I cant wait to see, I’ll keep you (blog) posted.
Ooo also… check out the Lazy Oaf Blog, its funny, I’m a fan.
Max Starki Productions has some exciting acts from both Coventry and Birmingham lined up for the launch party on Friday, including Takunda Garwe (winner of Coventry’s Got Talent) and Synikall, a hip-hop/R&B artist from Erdington.
The show will end with LP45, one of the most popular bands in Coventry at the moment. The gig is a fundraiser event and will be the official launch of Max Starki Productions – a new and exciting production company put together by music tech student Chris Dickins and dance/theatre student, Grace Brodie.
In brief, it is “An innovative performance company that is focussed on enhancing newly discovered spaces, and transforming them in to our stage, our place of diversity, for the audience to experience.”
The production company’s main performance this year will be in Coventry city centre on 1st may and will take the form of a sound and dance installation.
Although currently a university project, Chris hopes to continue Max Starki and eventually put performances on all over the country.
The launch party is taking place at Dogma in Priory Place, Coventry this Friday. Doors open at 8pm and entry is only £2!
Please make the effort to come along and support this new local production company.
Hope to see you there!
