SOMETHING IN THE WATER
Something In The Water (Joe Buzfuz, Polly Maclean and guest violinist Tom Alder from David Cronenberg’s Wife) have a busy June. They play a cover of Paul Hawkins’ ‘Mother I’m On TV’ at the Paul Hawkins/L’il Lost Lou split single release party on Friday 8th at The Betsey Trotwood, Farrigdon Road. Free entry!

Then on Saturday 16th they support Dr Strangely Strange at The 12 Bar Club. It’s the first London gig for 34 years from the psych-folkers. The night has sold out.

On Friday June 22nd SITW will be playing as live guests on Johny Brown’s Mining For Gold mix show on London’s volunteer-run art radio station Resonance 104.4 FM. 11 pm to midnight. Can be heard outside London on www.resonancefm.com.

RATIONAL FOR THE HARDCORE
Buzfuz were mentioned passingly in last week’s TimeOut in a preview of the Homefires festival, debating the merits of its becoming less strictly "folk" based: "...this year's Homefires is a more musically varied affair than any of its predecessors [...]If for you this is like Dylan going electric (or Sergeant Buzfuz going rational, for the real hardcore), you should check out Sunday's Upset The Rhythm hop." No, us neither… but nice for the band to get a mention.

ANTIFOLK COMPILATION
There’ll be a Sergeant Buzfuz track on an upcoming antifolk compilation CD compiled by JJ Crash and released on the AFUK label. The Buzfuz track is ‘Too Stupid’ which is an out-take from the Fire Horse CD. More news soon, word is on a summer release.
