Christie’s Auction House, Basquiat and us (Hogan Grip)
A lovely strange situation. Some of the music that myself and Declan Kelly made as Hogan Grip has been used on this video which talks to some of the people who worked with painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. Christie’s are selling some of his paintings soon, if you have a few million dollars lieing around.

Redball California
In a further collaboration with Danny Cooke and Kurt Perschke, I did the soundtrack for the latest Redball adventure in California. You can see it in the video below, as well as the previous Redball UK video.
New Studio
I’ve moved into a new studio at Galway Rehearsal Studios. I’m practically living there. Great stuff altogether. Dott also recorded their upcoming album there too. Here’s when I moved in:
Dott – Leave Tonight
My band Dott have been having a nicely busy time of it too. Our first vinyl release has just come out in the states of Graveface Records. Danny Cooke has done a gorgeous video for us for it which you can watch here.

Busy summer!
I think I’d intended to release a new album this summer, but a lot of other things took over instead for the summer.
I had another collaboration with Danny Cooke for a short doc about Kurt Perschke’s Redball project touring around the UK. You can watch it here:

My band Dott have also been ridiculously busy over the summer, playing at festivals and just generally all over the shop. Here’s us at Electric Picnic!
