Fifteen years ago, me and @williamaverage made an album featuring a bunch of friends of ours. That album started a label that started a bunch of great things that continue to this day. But I gave it a very stupid name, and the only thing it ever got any recognition for was a 'Worst Album Name of the Year' award. We'd been thinking of re-releasing it for a while, and then @clare.evans.painter , (who did the cover for the original) did a portrait of me, and we decided to re-release it to coincide with the portrait being part of @offseasonmargate . And then @hashtag_snelson said 'come and play at @margateartsclub ' and now it's become a whole launch event with vinyl and CDs and playing with @melinda_bronstein and everything. Come and help me dig it up, give it a less shit name, and then bury it again. What else are you going to do on a wet January weekend?
Oh, and the portrait is up at @ghostpapamargate right now! With a portrait of Melinda too!
Oh, and thanks to Darren @firstcutvinylrecords for doing the sweet sweet vinyl vinyls!
@clare.evans.painter

24th January Off Season Party. Featuring live music from the Nuclear Family Band, Oli Chance and Melinda Bronstein.
NUCLEAR FAMILY BAND @nuclear.family.band
3 piece rock band bringing the sounds of the 70's and 80's into the new millennium, realising it's not that great here so taking them back again.
OLI CHANCE @olichance
An album relaunch celebration from an artist formerly known as something very stupid. Oli Chance is a singer-songwriter and proud misfit, delivering an album that’s joyful and smile-inducing, with a sly streak of dark humour and grumpiness that mirrors the artist himself. Album artwork is by Clare Evans @clare.evans.painter and is being shown as part of @offseasonmargate@ghostpapamargate
MELINDA BRONSTEIN @melinda_bronstein
Experimental musician, using haphazard live looping, casiotone and found objects to create beautiful melancholy atmospheres.
DJ's until close.
Tickets £5 adv
£8 on the door
Any Off Season contributing artists free. (proof required)

@olichance asked me to paint his portrait for his new album cover. Here’s the result!
A terrifying moment doing a reveal to such an old friend but thankfully he liked it. I’ll get a better photo taken of it at some point, but here is his beautiful mug in the meantime. Thanks for trusting me with your face @olichance and making the journey down to have a look ❤️❤️
