Probably got room for one more act in the line up if anyone fancies trying to power their music by bikes? Er... Not too big a band, as we're going to be tight on space + power. One or two people, guitar / amp / mic / minimal kit would suit.
Just drop me a line if you're interested, andy [at] wereallneighbours [dot] co [dot] uk

We're pleased to announce that THE DELTA FAMILY will be joining THE JELLY ROYALE and PEDALO FOLK on stage on Monday, for a unique bike sampling, bike powered, bike noise madness.... http://www.deltafamily.co.uk/
And if we've got the time and the leg power SHAUN + TONY will hit the decks and assault as with bike powered TECHNO BREAK MADNESS.
It'll be the best bike powered gig you've been to in a while... And it's free (DONATION)!

If you powered a film projector then you could incorporate get fit with watching a film.
The Portland film and fitness club.

Toot Toot! Bike powered gig! Tonight!
Other bike power news... We managed to crank out enough juice to get a projector going last Thursday, surely some kind of milestone towards building a cycle powered cinema...

Do we have to provide our own bike?

Have you got mics?? You may want to check with the Portland to see if they have been returned from the band that accidentally took them last week.......

I think there will be three bikes set up in order to power the 100" plasma screen, light show, 1000W PA and Van der graf generator . . . :)

Pedalo Folk, self powered at around 70W!

The Delta Family, two bikes... Live sampling / looping / playing bikes / guitar wig out session.
Published by andyt at 11:36am on Tue 3rd July 2007.
The Jelly Royale, five piece band, three bikes... need better monitors next time round, but we had wattage to spare.

Bikes of course.

And people...
Top gig, expect more bike powered madness sometime soonish!
Published by andyt at 11:42am on Tue 3rd July 2007.
this was completely ace. Bike powered gigs are the future (at least until we get massive hamster wheels)
Published by Mattstep at 1:29pm on Tue 3rd July 2007.
how many bikes do we think we would need for a GL gig ?
Published by General lee at 1:45pm on Tue 3rd July 2007.
Get one of those 'power meter' plugs (which are cool anyway) then plug all your gear into a power strip, through the meter, easy way of getting a 'real time' watt reading... 70W from one bike is fairly hard work but not a bad number to work to.

We're well up for powering more gigs, but might not do that many until after the big chill gig (so coming into the autumn) as we're going to be pretty busy getting shit together for that in the next month.
