Today us the first anniversary of @sixeightmusic.bsky.social debut album ‘World Isn’t Ending’ (though sometimes now, it feels like it us). To celebrate they’ve released a funked up, pink remix of Rose. open.spotify.com/track/5r4BiH...

We live in a world where Trumps (most of them), Musks, Vances et al question free speech in Europe whilst lauding Putin as a great leader… Emperors of Pain open.spotify.com/track/6rGFP9...

Create a common enemy Take control of media Take control of judiciary Exert control over military Promise everyone to make their country great again Deja vu anyone?

Reform UK supporters really not happy that their darling grifter, Nigel Farage, is treated the same as every other party leader in the theatre that is the House of Commons.

As could have said/read 20 January. Out now. Need to sort my proof reading. But then, I’m only a drummer!

Trump doesn’t believe in the Constitution. He doesn’t believe in established norms. He’s a Disruptit. How long will Biden’s pardons last?

I’m hearing that Donald Trump is a little bit miffed that Six Eight are releasing their full Emperors of Pain ep tomorrow. He’s worried people will turn off their tvs and tune into Bandcamp or Spotify instead

@iheartnoise.bsky.social today I’ve seen quite a few #Fallfriday posts and it reminds me of supporting the great band at The Town and Country Club, London, just over 30 years ago. Twas such an honour and humbling experience. Here’s what we’re up to now. sixeight1.bandcamp.com/track/empero...

Swedish/English/Irish alt rock trio release their new ep on 20 January. Designed to put a stop to Project 2025 or at least sustain some protest at the deranged world leaders who are nothing more than gangsters.

Following the release of our single, Emperors of Pain, on 6 January, @sixeightmusic.bsky.social are pleased to announce that the full ep with four new songs, will be available from 20 January. Timed to satisfy those wishing not to tune into the ‘inauguration’.

Saw @markthomasinfo.bsky.social in Brighton just before Christmas with a group of friends. Absolutely great gig but all I got for Christmas was a whole host of tea towels. Cheers!

Reform UK is truly a broad church of misfits and the deranged

Just a reminder. Sums up a lot! sixeight1.bandcamp.com/track/empero...

Hey #Drummers , I’m looking to buy an electronic drum kit for Rockstar & Elise . Basically, I want something where the pads themselves are quality, but where I can upgrade the drum brain later. Seen good stuff about the Alesis nitro. Thinking maybe the $600 range to start. RS for visibility TY

It’s the Twelth snd final day of Christmas. That means 12 drummers drumming. There’s a few more than 12 here but hey, why not be generous? youtu.be/l5P1Qr5JoR0?...

On Jan 20th, 2025 Six Eight release the Emperors Of Pain Ep. Last year the trio consoled us with their first album ”World Isn’t Ending”, this year, the year of doomscrolling and denial, they remind us there may still be morning light. But don’t forget. The single will be available on 6 January.

And Emperor Elon, the puller of Trump’s strings.

Today is the Ninth Day of Christmas. Nine ladies dancing to the Emperors of Pain. I believe they represent love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

That’ll be Emperors of Pain. Of course!

Saw this in Berlin a few years ago. An Emperor of Pain? Quite possibly. New single out on 6 January. @sixeightmusic.bsky.social
