May Live Overload: Our (now regular) Rebellious Jukebox club/cocktail/singing and dancing night continues this month at the Deaf Institute, Grosvenor Street Manchester on Friday 15th May: Expect the usual Fall-shaped cocktails, sonic bravado and filmic depravity courtesy of Sir Geoff (the Elder). This month we are also very pleased to announce a special live show by Cigarettes for Ping Pong (all the way from Sunny Melbourne). Carol will also be stopping by for a few days to record a brand new RJ EP with old friends and collaborators (such as Messrs Lucifer and Shirokuma). Speaking of which – a slight delay on their Pope Innocent X project – some flaky mumbling about “post production” and the like, but we CAN confirm that we’ve seen Mia Hague’s wonderful sleeve and it’s going to be WELL worth the wait!

Speaking of Mia, our in-house designer has been hard at work launching her new website (the helpfully named miahague.co.uk – which features highlights from her latest Exhibition, plus a variety of new sketches, merchandise and “suggestive” references to her forthcoming work. You heard it here first.

Last but not least, Saturday 23rd May sees a one-off Manchester appearance by Kylie Minoise (courtesy of Kovorox Sound) alongside I Lucifer, Smear Campaign, CK Dexter Haven and a one-off collaborative action by Kylie's dark and twisted little sister Dannii Minoise . PLEASE NOTE: This performance will NOT be in a standard venue – we are creating a unique multimedia space for this event – for details/stagetimes/tickets please e-mail info@rebelliousjukebox.org - The Gig is FREE Entry and all are welcome (earplugs not supplied).

Next month will see some definite new audio releases (Babyslave remixes and the aforementioned Pope Innocent X meisterwerk) – plus field reports from I Lucifer’s “Spectral Cities” tour of Europe. Watch this space…
