Mixtape 1 - FIRST BLOG UP NORTH!!!

Hello!

We've decided to make a mixtape every week which you can download by clicking the image below. This week we have tried to make a soundtrack for an imaginary film. It's quite eclectic but we think it's a good listen.

Please note that we do not own any of the material in this playlist, we are happy to remove it immediately if the owner of the copyright so wishes.

It's been ages since we've posted a blog, so here we are! We've been very busy moving to Manchester (Chorlton Cum- Hardy to be precise). We're all settled in and have already attended several surprisingly debauched house parties in what we thought was a relatively sleepy suburb.

So what have we been up to other than partying like Charlie Sheen?

Jess has been working here freelance running art workshops for little people (that means children not the vertically challenged).

Dan has been working freelance for this lot running music technology workshops in a studio that features in the film 24 hour party people with the happy mondays (well, actors pretending to be the happy mondays)!

Keep your eyes peeled for next week's mix!

Hopefully they'll come to visit Manchester and we can record their next single.


Wild bees

Moving up North!

Living down south has been great, but now I'm ready fer home town and Mister Bee is ready for a Northern change. New bands to film and harass! 

Chorlton, Manchester.

Our rent is half the amount we are paying in Brighton! It's just as central, and just as big (it actually has taller ceilings) And Chorlton, is a buzzin place to live. It's got a Metro link now and everything.

The North - South divide is interesting. I wonder where it started.

Northerners think that southerners are rude and boring, and Southerns think that Northerners are poor and stupid, which according to research in Sheffield, is true.

"People living in the south are likely to be better educated and earn more money than their northern counterparts"
"Southerners will also have more doctors and dentists to treat them - but are less likely to be ill."

So we get ill more as well.

I'm trying to find a starting point. I wish I would have paid more attention in History about the Romans and the Vikings. I think the Vikings were pretty cool about the North, they chose to live in North, and that's something.
Maybe I'll buy a book.

I have been picked up on my words a lot since living in Brighton, and have probably had to adapt my accent and slang words. But now I'm going to embrace them once more, and also pass them on to Mister Bee.

I have been racking my brains, of all the slang once used when I used to live in Lancashire, now sadly repressed.

Bag 'ed, buzzin, chuddy,  soz, owt, nowt, bomb it, peggit, kecks, gegs, skennin,  dafty, jolly dancers, wazzuck, widgy, you lying get, giv ower,
ava gora telly on me ed?


I can't think of anymore and I really should be packing for this move.

Wild Bees go North, (where bands are proper more buzzin like) 

Northern Bee Lovely.

Wild Bees vs Bear

This is taken from the "Born Survivor" series of Bear Grylls. Bear's real name is Edward Michael Grylls.

Eddy Grylls.
"Out of all the massive, lethal, agressive man eating crocs, snakes and aligators....the one that gets me is a bee! Typical"

Ha!

Well, after all those harmless insects and animals you have eaten alive on your stupid STUPID show, you deserve this!

Feel the wrath of the bees on your stupid face!!

New Three Trapped Tigers and Nordic Giants Gig

Beeutiful!

Here are the Three Trapped Tiger's videos from Meadowlands Festival.

CREEPIES


AND

11


Quite different edits, but both buzzin!

We went to shoot Nordic Giants last night.
Their set was incredibuzzingly bee-riliant, accompanied by some amazing films and some of the best outfits I have seen on stage,
probably better than that Elton John!
I was quite sad that I didn't know it was a fancy affair or else I would have got my bee costume on.

The footage and the recordings are a treat to the ears and eyes.
We cant wait to share them with you.

Keep your peepers posted,

Queen Bee and Bee Bee King. XX

 The Bee Gees

Mo' filming mo' babble!

The other day we finished our Glass Diamond promo.

They said it was "very cool".



I'm just finishing the Three Trapped Tigers videos, we've got a very creepie "Creepies" and two legs "11" to upload to our YouTube. I've had a bit of a hard time editing Creepies because most of it was unusable do to "moshing".

Not by myself, I was trying to hold back my "moshing". Sometimes I just went with it to make it easier.
So it's very choppy, I quite like it, it goes well with the err creepiness of the song.

We may be filming Nordic Giants tomorrow.
I wonder if they are Nordic? Bet their not.

I was searching in google land for them and it came up with some Nordic names,
Here are some nice ones you might want to use for a future child,

Alvis - Meaning - All wise

Alwilda - Meaning - Elf Battle

Bera - Meaning - Bear

Gundis - Meaning - Battle Maiden!

Roar - Meaning - Famous spear

Thor/Thora - Meaning - Thunder


I might change my name to Thora-Gundis Wild.

That would be fun.

So yeah, TTT coming soon, GD done, NG TBC, and T-GW maybe.

Lady Bee, Buzz ORF! X

A bee related post

Beeing called the Wild Bees has led me into the deep depths of the internet looking at bee related things. I am going to share with you some of my amazing facts and finds.


Fact.
Bees can get angry
Killer Bees - are actually Africanized honey bees, hybrids of the African honey bees. These bees apparently hate the European species, a small swarm is capable of taking over the European hive firstly by killing their queen and then making it their own. Nasty

Fact.
Bees can wrestle
Killer Bees -  are actually a tag team composed of "Jumpin" Jim Bruznell and B. Brian Blair in the World Wrestling Federation  from 1985 to 1988. 
They Look like this

awesome

Fact. 

Some people like bees

A lot.

Fact. 

Some people don't like bees

Bees are dying! And you know, without bees it's not just their sweet, sweet honey we will miss, it would be 30% of our food supply! And for vegetarians, like myself, that's probably 95%! I love eating. So don't kill bees! For every bee you kill a child will cry! SO don't do it! 

Here are some ways to help save bees according to Help Save Bees

1   Stop using insecticides
2   Plant Bee-friendly plants
3   Create natural habitat gardens
4   Find out more about bees
5   Support your local beekeepers
6   Make you own 'Wild bee' house
7   Become a beekeeper
8   Lobby your local MP or MEP
9   Sign petitions banning pesticides
10 Encourage your local authority
     to do more to help bees


We already have our "wild bee" house, so now we need to start doing the rest of the list. I would love to make a film about Bees! One day we will don bee suits and record something fantastic.

You can buy this fridge magnet from amazon if you so wish!

There are lots more facts and finds about bees, but my eyes hurt from beeing at the computer all day. I have been editing a Glass Diamond promo today, looks buzzin!


Must fly,
