Gav McCaughey.. things and stuff.

An Englishman in New York (and sometimes the UK) I work with bands. I've run several successful Direct To Fan campaigns over the last few years. I'm an Aries. I Love New York. I film things along the way.

This week, we’re gearing up for even more Independent chart success with Scott Sorry’s debut solo album “When We Were Kings” crashing into the UK Midweek album charts today.  This album was an emotional several year journey for Scott, and it’s amazing to see it get some chart recognition.  You can pick up his new album on iTunes here: http://bit.ly/sorryitunes

Amazing chart success for CJ’s second solo album “Robot”.  Number 2 in the UK rock charts, Number 4 in the Independent charts and Number 1 in the Indie Breakers charts.  Thanks to everyone who supported this album.

Infectious pop courtesy of the newly formed VHYES is todays ear worm.  Great live band who are worth keeping an eye on.

About this song: A few years ago I found myself in a pretty bad situation. Estranged from my wife and kid, living on my friends floor, as far from sober as I could be, watching and letting my entire life fall to pieces. It was a pretty dark period. I took a long hard look in the mirror and realized I had 2 choices.. get your act together..or just give up. I chose to get my act together and took every step necessary to do so. No pity parties. Man Up. That’s what I did.

A couple years later I was in the house I grew up in visiting my folks with my wife and kids. I started reflecting on a lot of stuff. Thinking about how life would be different if I hadn’t made that choice. I have a lot of friends I miss dearly ‘cause they made a different one.

This song just started pouring out. I brought it to the band..and we wrote Carry On.

I stumbled upon a very silly B-Movie called "Robot Monster".  Here is a montage of some of the silliness to a soundtrack of CJ Wildheart's "State Of Emergency".

"The Magnificent Stunts" on Dragons Den!?

Well if the adverts are to be believed, it appears Chris Kempt, from 'Kempt Industries' will be appearing on Dragons Den tomorrow night pitching for The Magnificent Stunts range of iPhone and iPad game's.  

A very talented man and a brilliant company.  

The Stunt Guy game was released back in spring and featured an awesome soundtrack from officialheyhello (the characters look more than a little like Victoria Liedtke and Ginger from the band!) and plenty of automotive carnage. 

Stunt Gal was released a couple of days ago and is a ridiculously addictive platform game.  Check it out in the app store.

Here's hoping for a positive outcome, but regardless if it gives Kempt some great exposure and allows "Stunt Gal" to flourish high in the charts it will be a job well done.

Fingers crossed.

The second sauce in the Devilspit range is available to preorder now from my online store.

This sauce packs an atomic punch! Again made with Naga chillies, Beer and Chipotle, it’s the bigger brother of my original sauce ‘Devilspit’ and comes in at around 400000 scovilles… a nice burn!! Yes,...

[gavmccaughey]

This sauce would probably kill me, but if you like it spicy you will love it.
