ALL GOALS ACHIEVED
We're celebrating TWENTY FIVE wonderful years of Artists Against Success with a fantastic compilation album called "All Goals Achieved". It's got tracks from every band we've ever released, including The Validators, Jane and John, Frankie Machine, Johnny Domino, and many MANY more, and it is GRATE. You can find it RIGHT NOW on all the usual streaming sites and as a FREE (yes FREE) download HERE:
https://artistsagainstsuccess.bandcamp.com/

HIBBETTFEST
Hibbettfest is back for one last show on Saturday 12 August, featuring Mr S Hewitt, 50% of The Validators, Jasmine Allen Estate and Mr Alexander Hale. If you fancy coming just reply to this email and I'll tell you where it is - Ray's Mum's Back Garden genuinely is Ray's mum's back garden so I can't publish the address! You can also give it a LIKE on Facebook HERE:

THIS ARE JOHNNY DOMINO
I have been VERY much enjoying the podcast "This Are Johnny Domino", in which Steve and Giles Domino talk about a) some of their songs and b) the general foolishness of being in a band. It is HIGHLY recommended, and available from wherever you get your podcasts or on their blog HERE:

AND FINALLY
My ACTUAL BOOK "Data And Doctor Doom: An Empirical Approach To Transmedia Characters" is nearly finished and should be published by Palgrave Macmillan later this year. I just need to do some final corrections and then I can sit back and see who's playing me in the movie!

And that's the lot for this time - thanks for listening!

Cheers,

Mark
