Our amazing little boy is 9 today! Me and @natcotti have decided not to post the kids going forward due to the bullshit weird madness of creepy-AI, so instead here is Grumpy Barbara, the latest edition to our wild bunch. Tomas has been talking about nothing else these past months, so we caved and got a bearded dragon for his birthday celebrations! Let the adventure of reptile rearing begin! by @thisisbrightr

It’s the last day of August. That means tomorrow is September. That means next month is Fest. Get excited. In celebration of this big milestone we are kicking it up a notch: Starting this week you will get THREE episodes a week until Fest! Kicking things off this week welcome in Laurie Cottingham, aka Brightr to the show. Brightr is no stranger to Fest and this will mark the fourth time he has made the trip to play Fest. We talk about being in bands when he was younger, playing around the UK, tour managing for bands, the pros and cons of being a solo artist and much more. You can and should catch Brightr at Baby Js on Saturday night at Fest 24.  📸: @vicpaynephotos by @thisisbrightr

Day two of London Adventures was epic: first we headed to the @barbicancentre to see the In Other Worlds exhibit; it was dark, dystopian and scarily likely - then it was time for @outbreakfest @allpointseastuk - first up @mannequinpussy were absolutely outstanding! - @afireinside was every amount of incredible I knew it was going to be, great to see them again! - @amylandthesniffers were brilliant fun, soo good! - and of course @deftones were mindblowingly great! Such a stage show. Hot take of the weekend @deftones need to be tapped up to create a bond theme as their stage show/video background is alllll the bond! Special mention to @madriexcepcional 🍋 Incredible weekend with @natcotti & Rae (tagless) Hopkin 🔥😎👌 roll on @afireinside on Thursday in Bristol! by @thisisbrightr
