Hey guys,
Thanks a lot to everyone that entered the ‘Gareth Looks Stupid’ competition.
Me and the guys did have quite a laugh looking through the images!
But as always, there can only be one winner. And as gross as the mental image is, it did make me laugh the most.
‘Just Nick’ came up with this masterpiece.
Congrats mate. The CDs are on their way.

Hey folks,
I was trying to think of a competition today, and nothing was coming into my brain.
I mean I could always do the “What was Gareth’s first band?” nonsense, but who gives a shit? Not me.
To be honest, I felt like a bit of an idiot because I couldn’t think of an original competition, and then suddenly one hit me.
Why don’t I get you all to make me look like an dickhead?
You can use Photoshop, Paint, Gimp, or given just draw a picture and email it in to us.
I want to look as gross, stupid, weird, bizarre, creepy, as possible.
The winner won’t be judged on their photoshopping skills necessarily, after all, we’re not all graphic designers!
The winner will be judged on what basically makes me and my label, laugh the most. So try and be original!
What do you win I hear you ask?
You’ll win a copy of both my albums, and my latest single, What’s love without meaning? on CD. Plus, perhaps more importantly, you’ll be fucking cool in the eyes of twitter.
Now if you are on Twitter, you can tweet your images to www.twitter.com/garethicke and use the hashtag #GarethLooksStupid
If you aren’t on twitter, you can email garethickeartsubmissions@yahoo.co.uk and we’ll post them up on there for you.
The winner will be announced on the Friday of the Isle of Wight Festival (14th).
Now here are a couple of examples from my mate Tippers.
As you can see, they’re totally different so have a think.

Get cracking! x
Hey folks,
There appears to have been some issues on the live music front, at this years Bilderberg Fringe Festival.
The speakers and lecturers will all go ahead as planned, but the hotel seems to have a problem with amplified music.
The organisers are currently working with local bars to try and organise some kind of after party, and musical performances.
They need help with sourcing PA equipment in the Watford area. If you can help, email Bilderberg Fest.
I’ll keep you up to date with any developments. Hopefully we can get this sorted as I’d been looking forward to it!

Hey guys,
If any of you lot are in bands, and are looking for Worldwide radio play, give Deuce a shout.
I have used them, and continue to. They have got me radio play across stations in the USA, Europe and Australia.
If you’re interested, give Rob an email at rob@deucemp.com and say I sent you.
Hope you’re well.

Hey guys,
My old band, Kody, are finally releasing all our old songs.
We’ve been sat on them for years, and it seemed a massive waste. Luckily for us, my wonderful label, Eromeda Entertainment, have kindly said they’ll release the album for us.
The album, ‘All that’s been forgotten, but that was recorded at the time’ will be available on itunes very soon.
I’ll let you all know when it’s available.
I’m very excited.

Hey folks,

Hey guys,
I have been writing a few tracks for the new album.
If you want to check out the new songs, I have been posting live acoustic demos on my YouTube channel.

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
