A visual treat for you

www.betika.co.uk
Like most of the Planet, I've become addicted recently to YouTube (the website, not the Scottish insult), staying up late into the night downloading footage of Bowie or Young Marble Giants from '70s TV shows (check out the Bowie interview with Russel Harty) or mobile phone video clips of Deerhoof. I was trawling around for something else tonight when I found this Flipron video, which was made by our very own Martin. Betika are taking a short summer break, or at least some of us are - Chris (wearing his Little Boat hat and clogs) and Imogen are out on tour with Nic Beard and his Paper Cinema, calling at London (twice), Newcastle and the Edinburgh Festival. On their return, our next gig is at The Joiners in Southampton on 7th September, where we'll be supporting none other than....Flipron!
