Quiet is the new LOUD!

Evening goths

First up - Glasto was great - Metric and Pendulum stole my heart. As for Jackson. Don't mean nuttin to a valley's girl. Apps for the hard nosed un political correctness, but why the ***k should I give a ***t. thank ***k it happend out of term time. That would have been untolerable. Halls was pretty impossible to sleep most nights, so can you imagien what the jocks would have done when That happened. Like no - way!

It's been a long time since we rock and rolled eh? Things have been a bit - static on the Defiance of God front, but hey - www.myspace.com/defianceofgod. Good things come to those who wait. The patrick jones Cd is out. http://www.patrick-jones.net/ and you still can order a copy. OUr tracks are t9 and T14. Both featuring Steve Balsamo on guest vox. There's even a rehersal take of When we become mountains up on that so if you enjoy soft rock. Give it a try.

The big news was the first gig with Steve adding live vocals. If you weren't at Chapter on 31st May - it was ***king awesome. check out the reviews on the many STeve Balsamo fan sites.

Strangely it was kinda charartich (sic?) I'd spent ages writing and recording the tracks and then to get the ***kers played out live to an audience. Well - it was superb.

The good stuff is great - the ***t is still S**ter than ever.

Cardiff is quiet now, Ponty is still sh88y and hey don't do back to ABERDARE......it'll suck the life outta ya!

Love and bites

We came he read poetry we conquered

Evening goths/freaks/emos/punks/loners but never losers.

It was some gig. Defiance of God, Patrick Jones, Steve Balsamo, Lethargy, Martyn Joseph and Stacey Blythe all playing music to accompany Patrick Jones. Venue Chapter - Date 30th may 2009. What can I say - we were ***king awesome. Check out the uploaded videos next week on youtube/myspace. www.myspace.com/defianceofgod or visit patrick at www.patrick-jones.net

I was IIIting myself a tiny bit - especially when it turned out the gig was one hour earlier than i'd expected. 8 pm start not 9pm as I'd thought. Lucky me - I was halfway down Canton highstreet lookin for a cash point!

Ho - hum - shame was - no protesters from Christian voice. So the album got launched, Tongues For a Stammering time is now out there in the public domain. See what you think. Listen, buy, review or rant. Do whatever is best for each of you. Defiance Of God have done their first MK2 live gig and guess what - there's ***t loads more to come.

Defiance is the only way.

Poet set to rock faith to its core - Patrick Jones

Evening freaks - you know i love ya!

It's been a crazy few weeks. Patrick Jones has become one of our closest allies in the fight to control our lives. No matter how broken and battered my body gets they will never control my mind.

I have rehearsed and rehearsed till my ***king fingers are dropping off. Steve Balsamo came round and we jammed in the room, sitting on my sofa! How ***king cool is that. When We become Mountains is extremely beautiful. Enjoy it people. listen and weep. www.myspace.com/defianceofgod

Playing Meat with Patrick Ranting over the top was an extremely rewarding experience. Here's a snap taken by yours truly at solar studios last saturday - the hottest day of the year. It was a great session the track is AWESOME . It's gonna take the ***king roof off chapter this Saturday. Come on down and provoke a thought riot. Christian Voice are bound to be there! OmG. ***king hell here come the police!

Martyn Joseph, Amy Wadge, Lethargy, Les Davies, Steve Balsamo - all rockin out to crazy pat's awesome words. What could be better.

Live it, love it or hate it. Whatever you want, just be there.

Steve Balsamo, Martyn Joseph and Defiance of god Live!

Hey Freaks/punks/all you good good people

This is it. We Defiance Of God are in a go-go live situation. The launch gig for the Patrick Jones CD - Tongues For a Stammering Time is this Saturday night at Chapter Arts Centre Cardiff. Preview the songs at

www.myspace.com/defianceofgod

Also playing Live will be Amy Wadge, Lethargy, Stacey blythe and the great welsh ranting poet Patrick Jones. The album is out now, Pat launched it at Hay On Wye Literature Festival on Monday. Good article in the South Wales Echo yesterday. The album features contributions from Nicky Wire James Dean Bradfield and former squeezebox frontman Les Davies as producer - LSD Highs.

To purchase a copy go to http://www.patrick-jones.net/ also find details of the chapter gig - Tickets are 6/8 or 10 quid. I wonder if there's gonna be a big Christian Voice boycott/protest like the last couple of Patrick's gigs. Bring it on ***kers.

Defiance of God have two songs on the CD - T 9 - Meat and T 14 - When We Become Mountains. Both feature the haunting voice of close friend Steve Balsamo on vocals.

This is it Freaks - the conquest of your country has begun. No matter how broken and battered our bodies get they will never take our souls. Sometimes as the saying goes, 'defiance is the only way'. Two major rehearsals down - one acoustic with Steve Balsamo and the other a monsterous rock behemoth with the full band just go to show - Talent will OUT! ***k you!

See you on Saturday Night - 9 pm Chapter. 30th may 2009

Skateboard 1 D x Nil. Patrick Jones CD 2

Evening goths/emos/freaks/punks

It's been a week and then some. First life lesson - under no circumstances skateboard too fast down a hill outside Pontypridd if you've never been there before. I crashed and burned. Bailed out and landed in the mud/grass/bushes. ***k me it hurt. Couldn't breathe for about 30 seconds, thought I was gonna die! Sadly I didn't but I did spend 4 hours in Casualty. Not a pretty sight. Hair like a dead dog, clothes covered in mud and pride - let's just say left behind. Still have intense pains down the right side of my body. No bones broken, put my muscles so say the dr are in spasm. So the good news, 3 set of drugs in cluding Tamazipan - which make you as high as a kitE!!!

The good stuff. Seen the artwork for the patrick Jones CD - two tracks confirmed, Meat and When We become mountains. Guest slots from LSD highs - producer and Steve Balsamo - The Storys. Cd is out on 25th May. there's a gig at Chapter Arts centre on 30th may so that promisess to b be fun.

http://www.myspace.com/patrickjoneswriter for the link to the CD sleeve and all Pat's great words.

Couple more offers of gigs - No State Radio and Henrys Funeral Shoe - so with any luck the God will conquer the earth by November.

Kicked in doors, smashed up cars, knives hoodies, ugly scars!

Greetings goth/punks/emos/loners/creatives/cool types

I've been as they say busy. No more stoopid self pity wallowing in my ***s stains..... I'm doing what I need to do.

Craig - he can just ***k off. No more abuse from that ***ker. Claire - well her text's have gotten a bit milder. No more references to Nine Inch Nails and Joy division. So yeah. I'm happy on the personal level. And btw thanks for asking.

On the music front. Huge news. Slap My Face is Live! With Vocals! yeah! Honest. Also had some news on the collaboration front. Scottish Band Pure Dead Good have been in touch about doing a mix/mash up. They're great. Really angry punk rock engery.

Been listening more to the mighty Rod Thomas - his music is sublime. Pop and paegentry in the same musical world. Love it. And he won best Ukele video of the year! What a guy!

And the mighty Patrick Jones called up - he says there's the chance of a Gig at Hay On Wye! Can you believe it!

Meanwhile it's all gone a bit quite with the UNI. They still have 'issue's' but for the time being at least no one is playing their cards. MMMM.mmmm.

Drop by the myspace for me - www.myspace.com/defianceofgod or of course the lovely Rod

www.myspace.com/rodthomasmusic and while there hit the great scots

www.myspace.com/puredeadbrilliantuk you know it makes sense!

Love and yeah - I do bite for anyone who's enjoyed the track

Fine white powder is uncool. It ***ks you up!

Afternoon snowbound goths/freaks/emos/punks..

Being a goth in the snow is not fun. My mascara has frozen and I can not for the life of **d get my crimpers to improve my hair. Fizzy, fuzzy mess in the frozen snow....straight or even remotely crimped waves of wonder - this girl does not possess. www.myspace.com/defianceofgod

Can't go out. Can't go shopping, can't get to a practise, can only sit here and wonder what the rest of the civilised world is up to. Claire has been in touch. Another one of her semi threatening txts. This one was a list of songs and bands. Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia. Joy Division Dead souls. Dead or Alive - You spin me round......you gettit? Yeah. Like a hole in the f***king head!

Craig is snowbound in Brecon - apparently doing some yomp up Pen Y Fan in the minus twenty snowstorm.

Aaaagh. Can't do the remixes up at LSD High's in Abercynon - under two foot of snow! AAAAGGGh.

Like I said - snow is uncool. It's very very un-rock and roll - fine white powder that ***ks up your life.......just like well you know what....
