Summary
2013, was a slow slow year and was not very productive recording-wise, a lot of lessons learned, upgrading of recording gear, and some big changes in life meant to no new BBBlood releases in 2013. In some ways it was the best and worst of times. But the year is almost over now...
Next releases
Recordings of material for a few releases including a c30 on Beartown Records and finally the 2xC30 split tape with Duncan Harrison should be out early 2014. More news on that when I have updates.
Live
Performing live, I've probably played some of the most memorable shows to date including really enjoyable sets in Leeds, Brighton and in London. The Crater Lake all day event stands out as my favourite of the bunch, a live recording was released on Sound Holes that can be downloaded and soon to be released on mini CDr.
IIPA
I also started and finished a new project IIPA which played it's one and only show this year and released a 20 odd minute CDr 'street drinking' this can still be downloaded on the BBBlood bandcamp page.

End of year favourite records / gigs
I'm going to try keep it short and sweet but there has been some amazing new releases this year, quite a few I'm probably going to forget (and probably add on later). Also this year has been great for a lot of my friends who have either put out or recorded some exceptional records. No nepotism here but honestly amazing records (OK maybe just a little but still no less worthy).
