John's book includes a chapter on Bradford / NMA
The "Goth J.K. Rowling" is upset about the slur she receives and demands an apology. Quiet my kind of irony.
Not sure exactly what you mean by that.... I think I know but could you clarify? A lot of internet tittle tattle going around...

PREYRS - May 2, 2026 - LVLS London
PREYRS - May 4, 2026 - The Portland Arms Cambridge - here they play together again with Flint Moore Band. Never had heard of them before and just discovered them by the announcement and think they're fantastic!
Flint Moore - Undermask (Official Music Video)

PREYRS - May 5, 2026 - Joiners Southampton
PREYRS - May 7, 2026 - The Victoria Birmingham
PREYRS - Aug 22, 2026 - ArcTanGent Bristol
It was a great show in Krefeld, a wonderful rockin' evening with fantastic live Music. Frank's White Canvas was the support band, they were great!, but it was more of a two headliners concert, both bands played more than 90min.
Here is a cool review (in german) of that evening with great pictures:
https://metal-heads.de/konzertberichte/lieber-live-musik-statt-test-laenderspiel-preyrs-franks-white-canvas-in-der-kulturrampe-krefeld-27-03-2026/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGn7Qlj9gfN14SfS_z3buNlFKzQFPEyCqIa0OoOT50inKA_47H9rvd8OiYgtV4_aem_bKsQswf_hRg-tH3ZZTKOiw
I had such a great and inspiring time on that tour with PREYRS, funny and meaningful conversations with the band, talked with Amy about her lyrics and also met many PREYRS Fans who travelled a lot to come to the shows, many shows. I saw 5 shows, well 2 i saw and the rest i recorded. It was a spontanous idea i talked with Michael about, so i just brought my cam to the show in Offenbach and the idea was, that i just get some footage for short clips to promote the tour, because i couldn't expect the audio from my cam-micro to be any good, but one take sounded really fine, so i did a whole song video with live sound to Change Change.
With the second show recorded in Oberhausen i tried to mix them both to mask all the unusable shots and used the cd-tracks as audio and pretty much liked the result.
I made almost every mistake you can make before recording, like having too high iso, the wrong picture profile and white balance (just didn't do it) and therefore got a not that good clear picture and noticed again, that you just need to practice all the time to get good results. I was again searching for all the settings in my cam, kind of had to learn it again...
So for Krefeld i wanted to have more cams and a good live sound taken from the mixing board. I asked my son if he would help me out and we brought 3 cams and 1 action cam. A huge problem is that my Panasonic cam can only record 29m59sec in 4K (and you wouldn't belive why that is so, when searching for a workaround i found out that it is because of customs restrictions!..nevermind) we had to use that cam as a the total-shot and my son should go there to stop and start it again before time runs out.
And now, here it comes...i still can't believe it/me...have to cry almost and also laugh like stupid...while i was filming i had to change my battery, i waited for a good moment and just wanted to do it really fast..and stupid me didn't turn the camera off before..which ruined everything i recorded to that time!
So now i'm searching for a recovery tool, the data is still there but broken and i hope that i can recover it. At the moment i think i will have to invest 50€ to get a licence for a programme, all the freeware didn't work...
But that is not the only thing...the mixing guy was pretty confident before the show to record a downmixed stereo track for me and save it on my usb-stick, but after the concert he said that he wasn't able to do so...
Btw the Kulturrampe in Krefeld had a fantastic live sound, the guy did really well with a good soundsystem there!
So...whatever...what the ?!$%§&"!?...i watched my footage and it's great..great performance...the Panasonic has recorded a decent sound, maybe i can use this, but also was so vibrating sometimes from the bass...now i'm downloading the footage my son has recorded and hope i can do something with this recording session...but anyways..what a good, rockin' fun time that was!
There were some NMA T-Shirts there ;-), i was a little to occupied to say hello and only had a short chat with Harold, greetings if you read this ;-), who also comes from my hometown.
Right now i'm still working on the last song i think i can generate from my recordings in Offenbach/Oberhausen, it is Nova and here the task lies in the ending of that song, where Amy is talking, kind of reciting her poem and i have no synchron image and audio...
PREYRS will most likely come back in autumn this year...

« Last post by Master Ray on March 28, 2026, 12:13:36 AM »Loved Sam Raimi's new one 'Send Help' a movie described as '''Misery'.. but what if the guy deserved it?'
But there's so much more to it to than that, it ain't so simplistic and as the film goes on it becomes much more than that simple description of a movie... but it's impossible to say why without spoilers so I won't do such a thing, but it's the best film I've seen this year so far... I'll post a trailer. Oh, and if you don't know who Sam Raimi is, he's the guy who directed classics like Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Darkman, A Simple Plan, Spiderman, Spiderman 2 and Drag Me To Hell... fine films one and all!
