GoAnimate.com – Pixie and BP at Electric Picnic by Pixie Delamere
And now it’s revealed – BP Fallon & Pixie at Electric Picnic 2011.
As well as doing two amazing shows backed by The Hot Sprockets – see below – and talking on a panel with Bob Geldof and Annie Tierney of Tieranniesaur moderated by David McWilliams and doing a recitation in the Science Tent… our man managed to ride the ferris wheel with Pixie and somehow the two heroes of our yarn ended up in outer space
(as one does).
Up in space, the pair hear someone singing BP’s record ‘I Believe In Elvis Presley’ (as one does). Pixie created her GoAnimate to celebrate… well, everything, really…

So along come eircom with their new advertising posters. Not exactly a benign scene being depicted – an unhappy girl being manhandled out of somewhere that’s supposed to be rockin’ by two grim-faced don’t-fuck-with-me security guards.

What caught our eye was how eircom – without a bye-your-leave or a nod in this direction – have ‘adapted’ our Death Disco skull-and-headphones logo on the girl’s t shirt. Do we have a patent on all skulls and headphones? No. But look at the ad… eircom have basically drawn a pair of shades over their version of our DD logo.

It’s flattering to have one’s work – one’s art, one’s images, one’s logos – recognised by the mainstream.
It’s disconcerting how this acceptance of something that was once underground and pure and based around music and having a good time is now warped magnetic eye candy for a corporation flogging telephones by any means possible.
Then again… who are we to stand in the way of pop culture influences?
Or… should we sue ‘em?

BP Fallon & The Hot sprockets – Does Anyone Care What Anyone Says In Rock’n'Roll (Written by Fallon/Tasjan/Harrison)
“BP Fallon gives a stunning performance. He’s backed by The Hot Sprockets, the fiery Dublin blues band that more than do the legendary Beep justice” – Craig Fitzpatrick in Hot Press, reviewing Electric Picnic.
BP Fallon & The Hot Sprockets received rave reviews when they played together at Ireland’s Electric Picnic Festival, making their debut on the Salty Dog stage and then headlining the closing festivities at MindField.
The one-off Christmas show at The Workman’s Club will feature a performance by BP singing his BP Fallon & The Bandits songs with The Hot Sprockets who will also open the party with their own set.
