“Probably Nottingham’s ninth best one-man dog-related electro-industrial-rock music act around”

Dog Explosion began in 2011 in Nottingham when ‘music enthusiast’ Oliver Lovley decided to perform his electronic & vocal songs at an open mic night at The Maze on Mansfield Road. Suitably encouraged Oliver purchased his now famous stuffed dog mascot to give him comfort onstage and to discourage troublemakers. Over the years Dog Explosion have played at craft fairs to audiences of fighting children, in car parks to confused real ale drinkers, in living rooms to clusters of baked students and at political fundraisers for sparse audiences of head-banging folk music socialists. 
The Music  If we can imagine a highly stressed office worker having sat on an overcrowded train for three hours without bottle of water on a damp seat within the vicinity of the smell of vomit, and then turning up to perform the music this journey has inspired, we have an accurate flavour of the music of Dog Explosion. 
But whatever ‘they’ say, Dog Explosion probably remains Nottingham’s ninth best one-man dog-related electro-industrial-rock music act around!

Stay Lucky!

The other side? 
Hum, buzz

Crisp Packet, is it rubbish, or should we treat it like an 'art' piece?

Crisp Packets on the walls,
where ears are listening,
feed at last from the body that grew them...

obscurity is bliss!

The silent majority is rendered anonomous by a creeping celebrity class system that is inherently populist, anything that questions things gets dismissed as unworthy or 'amateur',

However, democracy is all about everyone being able to ask questions, not just those with the 'authority' to do so

 silence is not a social system.

Life is but a conceptual cassette conundrum...

(Feel free to mash these up, some are deliberately audio free for this purpose)
