2010 Plans for Inside Neon and beyond...

So what will 2010 bring for us (Myself & Inside Neon)?

Fist off in January I will be co-hosting (with my band Inside Neon) the inaugural tribal rock 10.1 event. This will be held on Januray 23rd. Inside neon will be playing with 3 other bands. DieByForty, who I have been friends with for some time now and have spoken about on this very blog - more on them later. The other 2 bands are new to me; PlayFight & Atom B, but I am looking forward to playing with both of them as I have heard good things.

The whole concept behind tribal rock is to promote foreign talent resident in Japan. It's an opportunity for us all to play together and to enjoy each other's company. There will be second edition of tribal rock in March.

In February I will be finishing off a long gestating project. A few years back I shot some footage of DieByForty with the view of making a music video. The footage was great but when I came to edit my PC just couldn't handle it so I had to give up. I intend to get a new PC in February and to then get this video finished for my friends. This will be the first project for Nitrogen Video. Finally I will get some film-making done. I have really put this on the back burner of late, as I wanted to concerntrate on music, so it will nice to do some editing again.

In March, as I said above, we will be hosting tribal rock 10.3.

The Introduction Of Munk
But, most significantly my band Inside Neon will be recording a mini album.
The album will be called 'The Introduction Of Munk' and it will feature 6 to 8 tracks. The exact composition of the album hasn't yet been determined. We have set a tentative April release date. The album will be available as a digital download only and will be available on all the usual digital download sites (iTunes, Napster, etc). There will also hopefully be a promo-video to go along with the release. All is in the planning stage right now, but we have the studio booked, the producer locked in, the distrubuter in place and the video Director on board, so barring major international incidents and natural disasters we should be good to go.

The Introduction Of Munk will be the first official release for Nitrogen Music.

So a busy few months coming up for Inside Neon, Nitrogen Video and Niitrogen Music.

Enjoy the ride!

2010: The Year We make Contact

The title of this post refers to the movie of the same name. I really did think that by 2010 we would be exploring space. But it seems that technological advancement as been to the betterment of individual's comfort (iPhones, PCs, cellphones, etc) rather than developing us a global society and increasing our capacity to develop as a species. Oh well, that's disappointing but it just makes you feel as though the utopian's visions of the future that some sci-fi writers thought might happen seem very far away. Anyway, that's not the point of this post.

Firstly, it's been almost 5 months since I posted anything on here. Why? Well it seems that my readership had dwindled over the last few years. Once everyone found facebook, no one had time for reading blogs. So this is the first of 2 posts.

Secondly. Welcome back to my blog.
