SILENCE - no singing, laughter, conversation beyond this point' Photo 4 shows Nikki and Erin in the sound suite recording guitar and keyboards

2 Days ago we hosted Béla Alabástrom & Mr.F on their UK travels.
It was so much fun there are no pics! We did talk about #progrock and scoff the cake & Belgian ale they brought.
We DO have a reel from their fab event Wha's Like Us, Glasgow. A perfect example of the joy they bring to the #prog world.

What a blast at Drygate Glasgow's Wha's Like Us on Aug 30th!
Seems we nudged a few folk out of their comfort zone.. tbh we were right out of ours and that’s how we like it!
See a clip of one of our more nerve-wracking set pieces:

Frens, Nene Valley was INCREDIBLE. Our 3rd year playing, the tent was packed, the response insane. When do you ever get asked by a festival ,with the punishing schedules they have to keep, for your band to please play a SECOND encore and the whole evening ran late because of it? Just 😭💖

#Progrock

Yours truly on stage at Nene Valley Rock Festival, behind my synth station, one arm up in a bhangra sweep, singing into the mic and smiling. Utterly joyous stage experience.

The EBB members, including the Cosmic Jester dressed in a full cockroach costume (don't ask, only She Knows..) squatting down on stage with their backs to the audience so photographer Howard Ranking can capture the rows of people with their hands in the air, cheering

Anna, Bad Dog, Erin and Nikki at Franck Carducci's set at Nene, with the stage lit up behind them, displaying a huge white neon sign that says Franck Carducci and the Fantastic Squad

Four members of EBB, fltr: Anna the drummer throwing a piece sign, Bad Dog the bass player throwing the horned hand over Anna's shoulder wearing a huge whimsical pink felted festival hat, Erin the singer throwing the horned hand gesture over Nikki the keyboard and wind instrumentalist shoulder. Nikki is looking chill and happy with a pint in her hand. The stage is lit up with the neon words Frank Carducci and you can see their guitar player in the stage lighting

One of EBB's classic promo shots of them standing in a boat, looking fierce and wielding weaponry and or pagan artifacts, dressed in evening dresses, Bad Dog dressed as a hippie wizard. The text reads 'EBB, Wokingham Festival, Monday 25th of August, www.wokinhamfestival.co.uk'

We had such an incredible time at A New Day in Kent, last Sunday!

#progrock #mucician #summer #festivalseason #prog #artrock #music

Screenshot from my Instagram post, taken from behind Anna's kit (temporarily lent to us by the lovely Tom Jackson of Emerald Dawn). The shot looks out over us all playing our hearts out on one of A New Day's festival stages, in front of a truly mindblowingly enthusiastic, ever mutiplying crowd. We sold out of all of our music and the cue ran all the way out of the merch tent and then some. We're still so thrilled.
