Satsuma Elephants @ Pepper Rocks, Nottingham setlist ...

OK, so this is the last of the setlist blogs for a while ... no gigs for a bit, certainly no Satsuma Elephants 'till Y-Not Festival (we're on on Saturday afternoon by the way) unless something special comes up ... in the mean time we'll be working away at some new songs, beefing up the setlist and hitting the studio to demo some of them proper !

So, Pepper Rocks, Nottingham. Tuesday 18th June, remember the date, the first Satsuma Elephants show in their hometown. And what a show. Certainly the best dressed crowd the Elephants have played for so far. Especially Chief Satsuma in her home made Satsuma Elephants t-shirt ... and very snazzy indeed it looked too ! You can read her thoughts here ... SatsumaElefans.blogspot.co.uk

So what did we play ...

Thanks to everyone who came down ... photographers doing a spectacular job, can't wait to see some pics and my man JC on the video cameras, making the Satsuma Elephants documentary ... the first clip from which can be found on YouTube, roughly edited, before you video editing impressarios hit me with your negative feedback !

Satsuma Elephants @ The VW Show, The Big Bus Stopover, Uttoxeter Racecourse setlist ...

So here we are again, dropping you a blog off before I go drop off into bed. Tiring time ... that Chris Goring works me hard !

Satsuma Elephants played their fourth show last Saturday, and first festival for a few thousands retro campervan hippy types, I loved it, and I loved them, the best compliment I can be given, and what I was given, is that we "look like we're enjoying ourselves" ... and we are ... for the best part it's me and best friend just jammin' !

--- encore ---
Gimme Some More

You may have noticed we did our very first encore. And we jammed out a version Gimme Some More from the album Coming Around ... due in part to our lack of songs but mainly due to ReggiiMental's bubbling and bristling enthusiasm willingness to jump on any stage and give you some "real talk."

Pictures and videos to come. A documentary about the formation and fruition of the Satsuma Elephants is in the works ...
and hopefully we see you all tomorrow at Pepper Rocks - off Bridlesmith Gate. The elephant are on stage @ 10pm. Plenty of time for buses home and getting down with the sound !

All my Love,
