Happy Martyr

Video shoot this weekend

Alex is busy this weekend recording a video to go along with the release of the limited 7" single of "This Small Town."  The song is available on One Square Mile, but the B-side will have 2 new tracks on it.

Remember the fantastic video for "Kiss Me Like You Stole It"?  David Harris, who filmed "Kiss Me", is filming the new video for "This Small Town", so we can expect another masterpiece. :)

All I need now is the patience to wait for it!

"This Small Town" Live

David Harris has posted another 3D video from the Birmingham show:

 

This is the single that will be out in the forthcoming months!

"Parachute" into "Jack The Ripper"

I found this video filmed by innaminit at the Winchester show that has the "Jack The Ripper" ending.  The visual is fuzzy but the sound is really good.  Enjoy!

 

Unrequited love and movie trivia

Have you ever been in love with someone who didn't love you back?

 

And for you movie buffs, can you identify the film showing in the background?

This is just one of thirteen fine tracks (or def jams, depending who you ask) on the debut album One Square Mile.

Birmingham Pics

As you sit and enjoy One Square Mile , enjoy some new photos from Andy Wynes of the January Birmingham show.  He had also given us a nice set last year from the September show.

Photos from Winchester

Paul Bevan got some very nice shots at the 22 January show in Winchester.  Here's my favourite:

I'd take his hand!

There are more in the photo album to the left.

Boz does "Jack the Ripper"

Did you guys catch that Boz Boorer did his version of "Jack the Ripper" at the Birmingham show?  If not, here it is:

 

This video was shot by Gordon from www.eightballphotography.com

There's also a 3D version done by David J. Harris (Kiss Me Like You Stole It) in the playlist of all the videos, link to your left.

London show footage

Here is the video made by Terry Stephens with the help of Jamie Spencer from the 26 January show at 12 Bar. 

 

It's a great collection of highlights from the show.  Seeing again how good the show was, it just makes me want MORE!  Courtesy of a pentagenerian Mancunian, the next gig isn't until June 1,2,3 at Strummercamp in Manchester.  Thank god there's the album to get us through until then!

More video!

I have it on good authority that there will be some high quality video from the London show being released tonight. A Mr. Terry Stephens, who is responsible for the "Painkillers" and "Sleep Tight" videos, was seen hauling a professional video camera around the show...Keep your eyes here and on the Happy Martyr Facebook page for details as they come out!

Morrissey, that's the guy from the Doors, right?

Mr. Lusty shared on the Happy Martyr page an exchange with a concert-goer from the recent tour that made me both laugh and want to cry:

(Bloke) Did You Used To Be In The Smiths Then?
(Lusty) Errr No.
(Bloke) What About Your Mate Then? (Boz)
(Lusty) No He Didn't Either..
(Bloke) Who Was In The Smiths Then?
(Lusty) Err Morrissey? Johnny Marr?
(Bloke) Yea I've Heard Of Him
(Lusty) Which One?
(Bloke) Johnny Morrissey!!
(Lusty) Yea He's Great Isn't He!
