last night at the berry light district we saw the berry factor finalists battle it out for the chance to be crowned the berry queen (or king) and also take away ��1000 in prize money! all 3 acts were truly amazing but in the end jodie harsh and the judging panel had to pick one and that one was martha-polly bolton who you can see playing above. she will be performing tonight at the last of our berry special evenings at the the berry light district. be sure to pop along to see her play and taste some of our XXXciting vitamin water cocktails!
commiserations to the two runners-up in’sight & joel lawrence. they were all truly amazing!!! click on their names to see their performances

 


so, it’s nearly halloween and we thought it a jolly good time to celebrate a bit of true blood – but not as you know it. damn right we found a remix of the theme tune for you! :) what better way to get ready for a spookin’ party than this! not only that but we’ve bundled in the trailer for season 2 and a pick of some of the other remixes that are helping to push the original versions up the uk chartosphere.
jace everettbad things (pirate stereo remix)
cobra starship – good girls go bad (i want to talk to sampson remix)
calvin harris – flashback (goldie remix)
chicane – hiding all the stars (michael woods remix)
alphabeat – the spell (digital dog remix)
so what are your plans for halloween? watcha wearin? will it be inspired by true blood?

 


right said fred were back in naughty form last night at our XXX launch party! here is some exclusive footage of them performing ‘i’m too sexy’ one of the songs that made them famous! is it just us or have they not aged one. single. bit. incredible really what happens when you look after yourself.

mel b with blonde wig at XXX launch
mel b kicked off our berry light district last night sporting a saucy blonde wig which caught everyone off guard. she looked pretty fab in it though didn’t she! judging from jodie harsh’s tweet it was equally a nod to her as it was to the theme for the night! after a mini competition which saw dean piper riding a mic stand mel b then introduced right said fred to the stage who sang all their classics to the adorning crowd before jodie harsh hit the wheels of steel. mixed together with some xxxotic cocktails made for a fabulous night!
for more pictures of mel b & everyone that attended keep an eye on our berry light district page where we’ll bring you all the best stuff from the night. next up – the berry factor final tonight!!!

really, who makes the decision to go out on a sunday? ahhhh….. quite a few of you eh? well it’s no good pretending it didn’t happen and lets be honest there’s no escaping it. the best thing you can do is hydrate your poor squidgy brain cells and get those earphones expertly inserted into your listening posts…. it’s time to knuckle down and show the world that nothing’s stopping you (except for lunch :) )
let us know what you think of foamo‘s new track. does the trick right? and if you’re gagging for some more then try this on for size: everything cool
