Welcome to the first ever Vert newsletter. Ideally at this point there’d be a slightly dissonant fanfare, but you’ll just have to imagine that for yourself.
| Velocity single & video | |
 |
Velocity (Faster mix), a new version of the album track, has been released free download single, available now at www.v-e-r-t.com. |

Also online is the video, made by French film-maker, script-writer, inventor of synthetic languages, and all-round après-garde hero Timothee Ingen-Housz. Watch it now at youtube. |
| Album release party, and other gigs | |
 |
The album release party is on Wednesday this week at legendary Cologne new-wave venue the Blue Shell. Doors are at 8, concert (featuring Fedor Ruskuc on double bass and Gianni Legrottaglie on drums) starts at 9:30, Uh-Young Kim is the DJ, and the whole thing only costs 5 euros. A couple more gigs in November: I’m working on a tour for next Feb/March, so if you’ve got any ideas or you’re interested in putting on a gig, get in touch by replying to this mail. |
