Zvilnik

Anyway, I hope your town/city has a Rico, and if it does, show them some love. Oh and don't forget to thank the sound guy and the bar staff, bands. Yeah, it's all about you but it ain't happening without them. (5/5)

Rico is not the only promoter in Preston who deserves some love and thanks, but today he gets the appreciation for his hard work and dedication. (4/5)

These aren't the corporate behemoths rinsing the people with "surge pricing", these are people who love live music and do what they can to make stuff happen. (3/5)

It's easy to appreciate bands, but you have to remember to appreciate the grassroots promoters who do insane things like this, often with little thanks and financial risk just because they love it. (2/5)

Smashing gig last night at Vinyl Tap as part of Preston Pop Fest and mad props to Rico La Rocca who organised the whole shindig over multiple venues with an *insane* number of acts. (1/5)

Live At The Ferret, by Zvilnik 10 track album

One of our local venues, The Ferret has started doing a new thing where the desk mix from your gig is uploaded to the cloud and sent to you. What a time to be alive! So we have made a live album of last Saturday's gig and put it on Bandcamp!

I agree, this is good news.

But the comments under the Facebook announcement by CGE make me despair.

I forgot this was here, to be honest. So much social stuff it's hard to keep up.

In other news, we have removed all of our music from Spotify. A pointless gesture, perhaps, but so was leaving our music on there.

Just picked up my saw for the first time in a while today - it's the clasping the handle between the knees. I'll look into rigging up some kind of clamp and try that! :)

If you're in the Preston area we'll be onstage at the ferret tonight! Come and join us!

On the bright side, you're not an Audi driver

Also worth noting that blue/red voting is the other way round here in the UK!

Being a musician is a tightrope between wanting people's attention but absolutely not wanting their god damned opinions.

You say that like it's a bad thing

Hey man I don't write the news. Just write some Squid Game fanfic to keep you going. Sexy squid game fanfic.

NEXT SHOW! Saturday January 11th at The Ferret, Preston, in the company of Chimps Of The Future! Entry is free, to help beat the January blues!

At least they've accidentally released the air date - June 27th

First came the sock puppets, but what nobody knew was that the socks were just learning to talk for themselves

YouTube video by Zvilnik I'm a frayed high wire, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME

So here it is, 2025, a brand new year bursting with hope and opportunity - and with it here's a new video from us, bursting with the opposite. It's called HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME, recorded live in the Zvilnik Little Theatre. Let us know what you think!

#unsigned #liveperformance #happybirthdayme

We got out of town and hit Lancaster, AND we released TWO EPs (check out Bandcamp) and set up the rehearsal room as the Zvilnik Little Theatre video studio!

Thanks for everyone who supported us this year, and we're looking forward to MORE in 2025!

We've had quite a year! We started very much ON IT and we continued to be ON IT when Tom sadly left us - we've got to play a bunch of gigs... (including exciting support slots with my new favourite band Erotic Secrets Of Pompeii and The Scaramanga Six) ...

We've got a new live video to drop on YouTube, but we're going to hang fire until January 2nd because unlike our usual frothy fare about unnecessary surgery, we feel this reflects the emotional tone of the day you go back to work.

Trying to find the words for the feeling when 70% into the game I realise I can do this, instead of going to the Chron-o-john every time.

Playing Day Of The Tentacle and trying really hard to not Google what the fuck to do next. It's double fine though.

I think that what bothers me about hot takes is that nobody has the humility to begin their hot take with "I think" or "in my opinion". Maybe I should infer it but missing it out lens this tone of arrogant superiority that really chaps my crack. Everyone presents their opinions as facts.

That's brilliant :) I did a little applaud and dropped my phone
