Suzuki Boom Boom
Hello chums, I’m trying hard to catch up with Cube related shenanigans so will be posting hard this next fortnight. Meanwhile let us go back in time to last November………… tinci vinci test1 trali vali
You may remember that last year The Cube headed South of the River to the popular Totterdown arts trail AKA Frontroom. This year we also had some Cube related events associated with Frontroo eto mi ne test2 proxodili m.
Cube fave and volunteer Rasha Shaheen played underneath The Bocabar at Paintworks as did my beat combo SUZUKI BOOM BOOM.
SBB also features fellow Cube supremo Barry Parsons hence me blogging it (oh and the shameless self publicity)
Also in the band, Mrs Megan Paradise herself and Proffessor Kris Griffin< eto nam test3 ne zadavali /a>.
Anyhow heres a couple of clips of the gig



Plenty more on Youtube if you wanna hear more. Theres also some great photos courtesy of Photographer Will Iredale here.
It was great fun and nice to take a piece of Cube related fun out further.
Our thanks to all the Frontroom organisers, especially Marita Lanham and everyone else who came along.

You know you really are Gorgeous, Till next time don’t go changing

YES! YOU CAN CAN CAN!

Posted on December 5, 2007 by richie paradise

Mid November saw the Cube Orchestra venture South of the river (kinda, if you know your geography) to Spike Island where we had been invited to play on/with a very interesting piece by Turkish Artist Can Altay. The piece is called Ey Ahali!. “Ey Ahali!” is the typical phrase of the traditional introduction to a public announcement, verbally made by shouting on the streets.
Anyhow you can see Uncle Liam and the gang here and then good old YouTube has two clips.
Uncle Liam of Cube Orchestra fame Ey Ahali! It's The Cube Orchestra!

I enjoyed meeting some new members of the Orchestra as I don’t get down so often these days, venerable types each and every one of them. Look out on the clips for some of these handsome chaps


A few regulars too, Ale on guitar/voice, Richard keys, Liam on Trombone (1st time ever), Mark on sax and me on Handsonic. This was great fun, basically for those too lazy to follow links the stage is the art, it has speakers in which you plug into. A small but appreciative audience seemed to enjoy themselves, as did the Orchestra who celebrated with beer and snacks at the Arnolfini afterwards.
Spike Island audience

Our thanks to Can and the Spike Island crew.

Big love, Richie Paradise Captain Richie Paradise

That’s The Spirit

Posted on November 5, 2007 by richie paradise

Hello Chums, apologies for the lack of posting, basically I’m a lazy sod, unlike these plucky fellows
Lovely, lovely volunteers
Upstanding decent fellows every last damn one of them. Come to the Cube and see more of them.
So, Things I have failed to Blog:
The Cube Cabaret/9th Birthday Bash – Reason – ‘I’m editing footage and didn’t take any photos and anyhow didn’t Mr. Hopkinson do a wonderful job?’.
Cabaret/Ladyfest – Reason – ‘Not my finest moment……….’
Cube Orchestra playing to Haxan and The Sea Hawk (starring hottie Errol Flynn) – Reason – ‘Possessed by an evil spirit’.
Skulpture (Cube Orchestra Free Jazz spin off band) at The Junction – Reason – ‘Gagging order by local constabulary’.

One will endeavor to improve ones self,

You’re Money and You don’t even know it, Richie Paradise Richie Paradise

Snorkel Sundays

Posted on October 21, 2007 by zuleika

I just found this tale and thought I’d share it, hope that’s okay Ali.

From: zuleika

> it would be lovely to have some synopsis on cube activities.
> any takers?

Well, Ali, perhaps you’ve had some polite replies from the others but Ithink you deserve to hear the real story so here goes:

After you left we had a three week mourning period, all in black with cuboid veils. We only drank Guiness and smoked liquorice paper rollies, we painted the cube black and generally took on an emo style. Finally on the 21st day we tore off our blackness in a fine display of fireworks, funny foam, ticker tape and superglued hundreds and thousands all over our bodies (leading to some impressive multi-coloured rashes). We danced around to We Are Family and found it a very healing process.

In MArch we showed Pan’s Labarynth five times a day for the whole month.
We made Â2, 000, 000, 000 and invested in teabag recyling. Which was a shame because that’s when it all happened…

The April showers have been pretty bad this year. The hole in the roof reopened and suddenly, during the Small Squeaky Noises Night, we were flooded from floor to ceiling. Myself and Polly in a superb effort of combined Blusheretting and Synchronised Swimming managed to pull everyone out and nobody died (although Leslie Smith suffered from tinitus for
several weeks). The only option was to turn the Cube into a spectacular Water World Cinema, showing Esther Williams films, Life Aquatic and the like. The Snorkel Sundays have been particularly popular. We are hoping we dry out by high-summer.

On a personal note, I had an intense affair with Leslie Smith and we were briefly engaged until he found me in a compromising embrace with a Ukranian rabbit juggler one Tuesday night. Nevermind, it was worth it.

Well, that should fill you in.
Hope all’s spectacular and this hasn’t cost you hundreds of dollars in
web-time.

Underwater love,
Zuleika xxx
