Live Kody Tracks…
Hey guys,
Here is an old Kody song, that our old roadie, Taffy, managed to stumble upon.
My pal Tim has put it up on his Soundcloud account.
It’s obviously rough as it came from a digital camera at a show at West One Four, in London.
We’re probably drunk, so go easy on us!
If you’ve bought the book, How NOT to be a Rockstar, and wondered what Kody sounded like, here you go.
Enjoy. x
Interview…
Hey folks,
Here is the audio of Todays interview on the Meria Heller Show.
Hope you enjoy.

National Libraries request ‘How NOT to be a Rockstar’…
Hey all,
I was strolling through Prague Airport, minding my own business, when I received a message from my big sister. The National Library of Great Britain has requested copies of my book, How NOT to be a Rockstar.
That’s a massive achievement for one, and one that was celebrated with a beer, and a soggy airport sandwich.
You can buy a copy of the book by clicking onto www.garethicke.com/book.
I’ll be selling copies at gigs aswell.
Talking of gigs, I’ll be playing an acoustic show at the Engineers Arms in Henlow, Bedfordshire on Friday. Free entry and awesome beer. Kicks off at 9pm.

Book OUT NOW. Album OUT MONDAY!
Hello folks,
It’s been a busy week in Camp Gareth. Not that I have a camp. Although I am rather camp. As this weirdo goes on to explain. Anyway…I’m rambling.
My book, How NOT to be a rock star, is out now. I’m really proud to have it out there and available. It seems like a lifetime since the idea was planted, into my half cut brain, in a Glasgow bar.
You can order the book by clicking here. If you want a signed copy, just pop a request in the ‘notes’ section and I’ll try and get it sorted for you.
I know that appears arrogant saying ‘if you want a signed copy’, and I do feel a bit of a prat saying it, but there have been a few requests. And I’m nice.
As if that wasn’t enough to be going on with, my second album, A Brand New Battle, is available on Monday, through Eromenas Media.
The album is only available in CD format for now, with a digital release scheduled for late October.
I’ll have a full list of HMV stores and Independent Record Outlets that are stocking the album, across the UK, in the next day or two. I’m just waiting for a final list from the label.
There will also be a direct link for you to buy directly from Eromenas Media, if you can’t get to a record store, or live outside the UK.
We’re playing a release show on the Isle of Wight on October 24th, with a London launch, Manchester launch, and a Glasgow launch, yet to be confirmed for the end of October. As soon as I confirm the dates and venues, I’ll let you know.
I really hope you like the CD. It’s my best work to date, and I’m really happy with how it came out. It was recorded raw and with emotion. I hope that comes across.
Have a great weekend all. x
Bestival, Book, & Full Band Rehearsals…
Hello everyone,
Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
I’m feeling somewhat fragile myself. I fear I’m getting too old for Festivals! The Bestival just about finished me off.
Was great to see Stevie Wonder though. A frighteningly talented gentleman.
I performed myself. It was only one tune before my Dad gave a speech. It was all a bit of a set up with a girl, obviously a plant, climbing onto the stage and spouting nonsense. I hope she spends her 30 peices of silver wisely. I would recommend a less generic ‘punk’ haircut. 🙂
I enjoyed my performance though, and the crowd seemed to get on board.
My book was released on Friday, but for some reason, there was some glitch on the postage. Basically it works out the weight automatically, and it was working it out as £6.90. That’s extortionate I know. I’ve managed to sort it now and it’s gone down to £3 odd. That’s what it costs to send so there is no profit in the postage.
If you want to order the book, How NOT to be a Rock Star, click here.
Tonight I’m rehearsing for the first time with the full band. I’ve been doing the acoustic thing for a couple of years now, and can’t wait to get back to making a racket. It’s the reason I started playing. I can’t wait for that.
The album is out on MONDAY!!! Eeeeek! I really hope you like it! It’s only available on CD. The downloads aren’t available until October. You can’t beat the real thing anyway!!! 🙂
Take care folks! x
How NOT to be a Rock Star – AVAILABLE NOW!
Hey guys and girls,
My debut publication ‘How NOT to be a Rock Star’ is available now.
Here is the blurb…
“How NOT to be a Rock Star tells the extraordinary few years of Gareth Icke’s life on the road with his band Kody.
From witnessing murders and being accused of terrorism, to amputation and break ins; this band saw it all, drank it all, and lived to tell the tale.
This insight into the hearts, minds and memories of a young band doing what they do is both eye wateringly funny and ultimately worrying.
Sometimes, stories have to be heard to be believed and trust me, this book is full of them.
I should know, I was there at the time and I still can’t believe some of the stuff we saw!
Sit back, grab yourself a drink, and welcome to our World.”
Tim Pritchard – Kody Guitarist
The book will be available in book stores very soon. Until then, it is available online. Click here to purchase the book.
Hope you enjoy! x
How NOT to be a rock star…
Hey all!
I just received the first copy of my book. I’m so excited.
It looks great and now I can call myself a published author. How awesome!
The book will be available very soon. Just waiting for the rest to be sent over from India.
I’ll let you know!! x
Festival, Album & Book…
Hello everyone!
I hope you’re all well. Do I sound excited? I am. Pearl Jam are playing the Isle of Wight Festival today. I’ll be there, slightly drunk, dancing on my one good leg.
I played the Festival yesterday and was lucky enough to have been featured on Sky Arts coverage. I got tweets slagging off my wife beater vest and wellies image. It’s a festival, you’re meant to look like a dick. Aren’t you?
I’m playing the Champagne Zebra Lounge tomorrow afternoon at 4. Then I’ll have to juggle between Bruce Springsteen and England. As much as I love the boss…England will win. 🙂
Yesterday, I met a fella off ‘The Voice’ too. I didn’t know who he was, but he deserved a kiss.
I signed off on the proofs for my book on Thursday. Now they’re off to India to be printed. Gulp!!! I’m very excited. ‘How NOT to be a rockstar’ will be out soon. That will make me a published author. WOW!
I also got the mastered copy of the album. It sounds massive! I’m so happy with it. A Brand New Battle will be available very soon. I hope you like it!!!
Right, I’m off to eat, drink, and be muddy.
Be safe. xxx
