Jason Donovan....

Yo all, first blog time! I've finally managed to steal the controls from Charlie and Mike, are you ready...?

I felt I should share my bitter disappointment that I didn't get to meet Jason Donovan as I had been hoping :( I was meant to be working with him on his new album, but sadly he postponed last minute. I just hope he realises how let down I feel. I think the first album I bought was by him actually. hahah

We had a little writing session last night, with some pretty interesting results! Writing is always entertaining, if you were a fly on the wall you'd all be either impressed or... well something else. We have all these little amps around and this little half drum kit and we just muse until Karnig goes "Duuude it's half ten I gotta goooo." I don't think any of us can wait to get back into the studio to work on the new tracks some more. Plus bringing some new material to you lot is always great. Luckily we only have to wait till tomorrow to get back in there.

Which brings me onto a whole new world of entertainment, the 'DCD hairdressers trip' which was supposed to take place tomorrow as well but sadly the hairdresser cant do tomorrow so it's been postponed. Hopefully the process is going to be filmed purely for the look on Charlies face when they hack into his hair...I cant wait, he's been asking everyone if he should grow it longer. Might put it to the vote... what do you lot think? Will he look like a member of Hanson or do you think he'd look more like a Kurt Cobain? Long or short? It's up to you, HA! Anyway, the trip is in aid of the next photo shoot, which should be sometime this week...at last I'm actually in some photos!!

Nothing else to report...apart from I hope to see as many of your pretty faces (that means all three of you that read this blog) at the Proud Galleries this Sunday for some fun and games, I'm sure we can persuade Mike to take his shirt off and do a lil dance for us

much love

Acapella we love you

We played this show in Edinburgh and the promoter got really angry that we left out "omg that's so 5 minutes ago" from our set. So we did a little acapella version for him and a couple others outside the venue afterwards!

This is now a bit old and stupid to post now.. but the photo is fierce.

PPQ Party

The other day we went to this place called Orchid Bar where Jodie was hosting its launch. The Cazals and The Krak played...they're cool check them out. Turns out the only private room where they'd allow people to smoke was these hidden toilets. They put so much food (risotto balls mmm!) and a shit load of vodka in there on tap (like the pun). Off our faces we rocked up to 24 in Kingly Street to check out the PPQ party (which is usually rad). The free drinks had stopped but it didn't matter, we were already long gone.

Our friends Archeo (myspace.com/archeoprice), Amy, Megan (Amy and Samey/The Twins), Verity and Jasmin partied too).

Welcome one and all to our world.....



This blogging malarky is quite a new concept to us, we have heard so much about it but i cant say that i have ever written a blog.


For those of you who dont know who we are (and im guessing thats pretty much all of you) heres a brief history....


We are collectivly known as the dekadance, not really sure why, thought it sounded cool, in retrospect it doesnt, but to our mother's we are known as Charlie and Mike. By day (and more often night) we play in the band Death Can Dance www.myspace.com/deathcandance This 'job' takes us up and down the country to every imaginable town and city. Playing shows and enjoying the local talent is normally preceeded by a bevvie or 2.

When we are not in some scummy town up north we are in our home town of london. We love this city so much, it is by far the best in the world.

This blog is the newest in a long line of promotional tools that we as the dekadance exploit. We have a weekly radio show on http://www.londonkicks.com/ this is where we talk shit about our week and the adventures we have got up to.

We have also got video evidence of such adventures when we took the LKTV crew out with us for a quiet night at smash and grab...




That should be enough to get you started, if not catch us every sunday djing the newly opened proud galleries playing the best electro around (mixtapes to follow)

Kisses

Mike & Charlie
