Schizophonic
The results of my summer collaboration with Anthony Chapman were finally completed ahead of last week’s gig and if you attended, you should already be familiar with the latest track, ‘Over Yourself’, posted online today.
Anthony (aka Scissorkicks) produced the first Klaxons EP, which was recorded in the very booth where I attempted some vocal harmonies I later insisted be...

Lessons in live
I can’t seem to hold down a relationship with electronic drummers. The latest to show some interest got past first base by bringing his kit around to jam but essentially turned out to be just like the rest in not returning my calls and standing me up ahead of what would become my first proper live gig.
Thankfully, a reshuffle meant I could add Stu from Trademark to my backing band,...

Christianoshi TM
The end of summer reminds me of returning to school if I’m sad but for happier memories, autumn leaves lead my mind to when I studied for my Popular Music degree at Barnsley College. Alumni include Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner and Matt Helders, Ryan and Gary Jarman from The Cribs, who were on my course, and Trademark’s Stuart Meads.
I learned of Stuart’s success when he...

Christianoshi: Your newest musical crush
My first ever online interview is illuminated by ridiculously flattering statements like the one in the title. There’s also some insightful gubbins from my very mouth. And a free MP3.

Tears dry on their own
I was in the middle of writing a song called ‘You Can’t Swim’, pondering whether to reveal my emotional deficiency or blame it on “you”, when I learned of Amy Winehouse’s death earlier this evening.
I had temporarily signed out of Facebook, which is rare, but my newsfeed was starting to read like a tribute book as I logged back in, then a text in Welsh from...

You like mud, like mud?
I don’t mind in the slightest that I’m not at Glastonbury right now but the pictures of “revellers” struggling to get on site came as something of a relief. For I have attended every previous one since 2005 so it’s hard not to feel its absence but the annual mudfest does eventually take its toll.
My first year was probably the worst weather-wise (initially novel -...

Grilled bacon and mushrooms on toasted white or granary bread. This greasy phenomenon dates back to the days when I worked breakfast shifts at my local hotel as a teenager. I would often rock up quite late but always found the time to fit in a sneaky bowl of grapefruit segments before the first guests entered the restaurant as staff breakfast would not be for another two hours.
Although a rare...

Christianoshi for Europe
As anyone who follows me on Twitter may have noticed, I was live tweeting during the Eurovision Song Contest while getting unashamedly tiddled on Saturday night. I can usually take or leave the annual musical equivalent of the UEFA Championship but I’d not before had the urge to stand around a big screen in a pub shouting “Come On Ireland”.
Contrary to the actual results, I...

– New song ‘Better Off Dead’ by Christianoshi
In hypnosis we Trust
Another fruitful studio experience with Medicine 8 man Liam resulted in laying down vocals and synth parts for two new songs called ‘Surrender’ and ‘Fake Blood’, and mending a broken ‘Trust’.
We came to the realisation that the ‘could do better’ vocal of the original mix could partly be down to it being the last of three songs recorded in a...

In an attempt to publicise “the brand”, I’ve attended many press day events of late with my stylist chum MYLES. This post’s title is a bit of a nod to him actually, taken from lyrics to a new song I’ve been inspired to write as a result of these outings - as if to prove it’s not all networking, sparkling elderflower presse and goody bags.
The purpose of a press...

Free MP3: ‘You’re Like Drugs’ by Christianoshi
Impromptu
As well as some brilliant pop melodies, I hold Stock Aitken Waterman responsible for the limiting beliefs assumed by most Western people who grew up in the 1980s. Their lyrics must have left a nasty taste in the mouths of their artists and Kylie had her fair share. She conveyed the message that it was ‘Better The Devil You Know’; ‘Got To Be Certain’ was another...
Debut
‘Do you remember the first time?’, asked one Jarvis Cocker. As I cast my mind back to last weekend, the memory returns and my mind is suddenly tricked into believing I am yet again performing on the SOS catwalk to a beautiful reception.
Despite staying sober until leaping off stage at 3am, me and my dancers (pictured) powered through a three-song set at legendary club promoter...
