Landmines and Pantomimes re-release warning
By Kris | September 17, 2006
Ginger has asked us to pass on a warning about a re-release of Landmines and Pantomimes, a compilation of rarities originally released on Kuro Neko records and which the band had no input to. The new release is in a DVD-sized cardboard sleeve and is on the Mischief Music label (cat no. MM101). It features the artwork of the late Danny Deen and Ginger has asked people not to buy this new release as it is illegal. We are still trying to find further details about Mischief Music – if anyone has any contact details or further information, please let us know. Thanks.

Sonic Circus – first gig
By Kris | January 25, 2006
The seminal Sonic Circus gig is almost upon us. The gig kicks off at 7pm on Friday at Highbury Garage. I’d advise not being late, I hear the support is not to be missed, and the early curfew means that Ginger & the Sonic Circus will be hot on the heels, with the show finishing up at the unfeasibly early hour of 10:30.
I’m also pleased to report that there will be a one-off limited edition t-shirt available to celebrate the occasion.
