Theres pictures of normal people too. Back to the gig I know the band as well as the audience enjoyed themselves. We had people dancing outside in the street When we played at Starbucks people only wished they could dance but theyre in the middle of a shopping precinct so didnt. Think we played for just over 2 hours never the typical 45 min set P It went pretty quick. Were not sure what happened to L...H...F but we did just as well. The people arent prepared yet to listen to the power of the two bands combined sound like some 80s cartoon quote heh. If you missed out shame on you Nah theres going to be plenty of other opportunities well keep you posted. Whilst youre waiting admire the pictures LAJJ 2009-11-5T00:00:00Z http://www.surgelounge.co.uk/page1.htm#51427 Things in the world of Surge are starting to get moving again Thursday will be our first practice with Hate...Love...Fate... were both trying to get to the same place musically el Ginjo played a set with them on Saturday that went amazingly well and if all goes to plan this could be the start of something sickWere playing at Lilys Wine Bars Halloween Party this Saturday so we hope to see you there.Working with H...L...F... is going to mean a new approach to writing and we will get material out to you asap.PEACESL 2009-10-27T00:00:00Z http://www.surgelounge.co.uk/page1.htm#42297 Well during the break El is going to dive into marital bliss but I will be leading the band through some songwriting sessions Ultimately the goal is to expand the trio into something more muscular and expansive but its difficult to find other musicians in the area but its also gratifying in that we have to work within our boundaries. What we have is a work ethic and some ideas and the songs are coming. 2009-5-26T00:00:00Z http://www.surgelounge.co.uk/page1.htm#42214 Im not the supertechnical person that El is so it took longer than I hoped to get the music up and it wasnt the actual site mechanics that were the issue either. Anyway for your listening pleasure four previews of tracks running to three minutes each ahead of the launch of the J Hop E.P music thats designed to get you moving yet give you the privacy of your own head. Written and performed by El Ginjo on drums Laura Jenner on saxaphone and Matt Blissett on bass guitar each track has been selected and refined into an aural blast of distilled groove. Enjoy and leave feedback either on Facebook or Twitter.

The material is based around modal improvisations and there are a few technique tricks that El and I have developed in order to play in a muted more restrained style. El is playing a stripped down kit as much for aesthetics as for ease of transport and uses brushes a lot I am using an accousticelectric bass guitar and using a lot of palm muting but have switched to my Apollo with flatwound strings its a much better instrument and certainly more stable thanks to its fantastic design and craftsmanship. Lauras sax isnt amplified in any way so without deliberately referring to it we harken back to the roots of bebop and rnb without really trying. The improvisations due to the experience of El and I have their roots in rhythms and this allows Laura to really blow out as a lead instrument although I do have freedom to go forward within the framework of the moment. ... 2009-5-14T00:00:00Z http://www.surgelounge.co.uk/page1.htm#40409 Just a quick hello from all of us.We will have the whole website up asap but thought it was better to have this than nothing.You can contact us via mailsurgelounge.co.uk or 07946391441 should you need any further info or to make a bookingSpeak soonPEACEel Ginjo and the rest of the SL crew 2009-4-23T00:00:00Z
