HMP London - 'Same city but a different street, same officers but a different beat '
About a year ago I was stopped and searched on my way home as I left Elephant & Castle Tube about midnight. I remember being asked - 'Do you live here, how long have you lived here?' by a policewoman with a very strong Australian accent - which I found ironic, while their male police officers arrested some teenage girls because they refused to be searched by men - not so much!
This song is from the latest Sabatta album - Emperor's New Clothes - available on Amazon & iTunes, it features Shay from Cherry Brakewells on backing vocals!
The song is currently being remixed by French DJ group Beat Torrent

Yinka presents...The Id - Aug 20, 12 Bar, Denmark Street
We call it a chaos, a cauldron full of seething excitations...
Yinka from Sabatta/IsBlackMusic/ResonanceFM brings you a night of something very special:
Featuring Sabatta, Olympus Mons, State of the Art, Otto Fischer, Genevieve and Kay Elisabeth
Sabatta – The future of rock is simply how one journalist put it. Yinka will be mistreating his guitar, swinging his head and most likely stripping down to the waist as usual – it gets hot on stage – WHAT!?! Songs, swagger and what a voice – the total package! Expect to hear some new material!
Olympus Mons – Aaron Macintosh fronts this astounding 2-step Indie Band – signed to a French label they are blessing us with a rare UK date! If I could some up the band in one word it would be ENERGY!T his is not to be missed.
http://www.myspace.com/theolympusmons
State of the Art = the new project from Barry Straight formerly of In Search of Apollo. Hear songs in a acoustic context from this master songwriter with a voice and delivery of startling intensity! Barry’s new material is the stuff creative dreams are made of!
Otto Fischer – a profile the ladies swoon over, a voice that makes them tremble, songs that cause angels to cry – need I say more:
http://www.myspace.com/ottofischer
Genevieve & Kay Elisabeth. Respectively this pair – amazing artists in their own right are a shock and awe spoken word artist and a spirit stirring singer song writer! These ladies are powerful dn empowering and they’ve agreed to come together for a performance on the night. They also a regulars at the Speakeasy at shunt! Oh yeah – did I mention they’re HOT!!
Doors 7pm til Laaaate!

INSPIRATION: Songs that changed my life: Metallica - Battery
You know those times when you hear something so fuckin unbelievable that it changes your life and you never forget the moment? When I first heard Battery by Metallica was one of those times. I was in Scotland and I was listening to a certain radio station and it’s a metal show playing and suddenly out of nowhere I hear these classical chords and time stopped:
Don’t forget to go to metallica.com to get that shit official like! U know those boys don’t play!!
Related: Sabatta – Guillotine
The only thing in common really is some crushing power chords and a wild solo - which ain't bad to have in common actually!
