On this day ten years ago .... with the marvellous Rhombus and The Last Cry!
Apologies to those who got excited - we'll be back when it's sensible to be back.
For a moment I thought it was the announcement of *the plague is no more* and *it is now possible to plan for gigs! * #waitingForThatMoment #PlagueBeGone
The Royal Wedding Special??????
I remember it well, it was the only time I went to Carpe when it was in Bradford.
Thought you were making an announcement for a minute there 😉

Edward Grassby did you put a banging donk on it?
COMPETITION WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT!!
What a journey it's been! Highs, lows etc
..and the winners are...
**Crushed, sloppy drum roll with inconsistent dynamics....**
Gaz McGoth
Steve Tilford
Archie Campbell
Graham Best
Winners please message us with your address so we can send your lovely loot. Or wait until the next gig which should hopefully ensure you attend and save us a bob or two on postage.
For transparency below are my judging criteria. I've not included the weighting as it's a commercially sensitive algorithm.
------------------------------------
Judging criteria:
Tier 1
a) Volume
b) Spelling
Tier 2
a) Current affairs
b) Feels
Tier 3
a) Wordplay
b) Band knowledge
Additional factors: Locality. Can winner come and collect the prize to save the cost of a 2nd class stamp?
------------------------------------
Winners enclosure:
Gaz McGoth:
Cries of cronyism be damned! 23 out of an available 27.3 points
A lot of words. It might not actually be the most from all the entries but is certainly up there from a quick eyeballing, I'm not a nerd so I've not counted them (1a)
Spelling looks alright to me but I'm no Samuel Johnson (1b)
Hasn't overtly mentioned the pandemic, but has referred to it with use of song titles (2a, 3b)
Brought back fond memories of Alistair (2b)
Elegantly shoehorned in some song titles (3a, 3b)
Scored very high on what is frankly the most important metric: is local
Steve Tilford:
46 from 72 available points. I changed the algorithm at this point, but couldn't be bothered re-scoring everything
Most characters used. I actually did count them: 325 vs 308 (1a)
Good spelling but I don't like that space before the full stop (1b)
Begging and threats of withdrawal of support (3b)
Archie Campbell:
45.9 from 72 just missing out on 2nd place (fortunately for Archie this has no bearing on anything)
All over the place and tested the algorithm to it's limits this one
Photographic evidence of a good collection of band releases (2b, 3b), but in contrast has also managed to let himself down on the Band Knowledge (3b) metric. I don't know Archie, are you missing anything? I like that contradiction however and wouldn't be able to use this gag if he didn't win (2b)
It's only a short post (1b) so minimal chance of slipping up but managed to miss off the question mark (1b)
Graham Best:
20 from 27.3 points. Changed it back
Devaluing the inherent worth of the prize (2b, 3a, 3b)
Being the last winner allowing me to trail off and not bother typing too much (2b)
------------------------------------
Honourable mentions:
Harry Dagger for a typically random and funny entry (2a, 3a)
Adrian Nicklin made me feel sad about lockdown (2b). Not a positive thing but it's still much needed stimulation
Nico Sadbast Goffe for using a hashtag. Not really sure how they work, but it seems modern and cool to me (2b, 3a)
Jennifer Heatley Roche, Alistair Kelly for the same reason as Graham's winning entry, but not quite as funny (2b, 3a)
Marcus Bretschneider for invoking Rob's name. Unfortunately no one cares what Rob thinks (3b)
Julian Marc Manley for invoking my name (3b)
Malcolm Smith for offering a bribe (3b)
Lesley Eriksen for mentioning the band name with one of those nice love heart for eyes emojis (3b)
Lee Whizzkid for making my ocd kick in thinking about an incomplete collection (2b). As with Archie though, you "think" it's the only one you don't have? (3b)
Tom Vaughan and Gregory Wright for self confidence (2b)
Kell Kill for being the only person who posted twice and because I've done so many honourable mentions that I feel I now have to include everyone that had a go (even if they made no sense whatsoever) (3a??)
------------------------------------
Watch this space for more competitions should anyone in the band ever tidy their house again.
Oh wow, first time I have won a comp "Anywhere" on the book of faces, made a full year ever so slighly more loveable, love is the answer?
Too long, didn't read.
Whilst tidying up we found 3 copies of the long sold out Anywhere EP together with a limited edition Monked Up The Sky.
So, we're giving them away. If you want one, tell us why you should have it. (Flattery, threats, sob story, insults, blackmail, it's up to you)
Lee will judge the winners and your prize will be posted free of charge, worldwide.
I think I should get a copy because... I really really like Teddy's taste in titfers, and that isn't easy to say, even now I've had to give up alcohol!! I'd like to change my answer, my new answer is... Because I've had to give up alcohol!!! And chocolate!! 😎
I should have a copy because....well...do you not know who I am? A man in my position having to beg! 😳 😉 x
i should have a copy because ........ its looking like the only place we will be going for quite a while is "nowhere" it will give me hope that sooner or later we will be able to go "anywhere"! also it was Alistaires favourite song and i have fond memories of him front and center dancing along ....ta muchly
If you send me a copy I'll buy the whole band a round of drinks at the next gig I can get to (that might be 2029 at the current rate) 🙂
I should have them .. as I don't have a copy of either .. and if you don't send them to me I'll stop coming to your gigs and buying anymore of your stuff .(I won't really because you're too good to miss but just pretend that i will) ... Ok Ok just send it to me .. I'm begging now incase the threats above don't work 🤣🤣
I need this album for my old school collection! I love Rhombus! 😍
I should have a copy because I'm in lockdown living alone and in need of some new listening entertainment 😉
Because I"m Worth It.
Because "Monked up the sky" is missing in my collection. And Herr Rob Walker likes me 😛
I think I should have one because it’s my fault that he ended up being a drummer!
Ok this is my Rhombus cd collection is there anything missing
I already have Anywhere but Monked Up The Sky is the nearest karma will ever get to #NastyNigel
I could do with another coaster.
I'm running out of beer mats?
hey, this second I don't know 🤔
I have a slightly wobbly table.
i should have monked up the sky simply because i think its the only one i dont have
Catch me with both Gothzilla and Codename:Lola as well as our buddies Rhombus and many other great tracks at 2am tonight on the marvellous Limeygit show.On the Monday Dec 21 show you can hear part 3 of the 2020 round up of new releases with tracks by Batboner, Rod and Gord (OBB Cast offs ;)), Deathline International (ft.

Little bit of "Spirit Walker" in there?
Rhombus updated their information in their About section.
Gothic rockoví Rhombus před vydání nového alba předstrčili velkolepý singl
sanctuary.cz
Britští gothic rockeři Rhombus se po pěti letech ticha ozývají s novým materiálem.Na stránkách Sanctuary.cz jsme o Rhombus psali naposledy před dekádou, kdy čtveřice vydala po třetí řadovce "Open The Sky" EP pojmenované "Anywhere". Od té doby kapela ještě vydala jedno dlouhohraj...
Rob out and about recording shots for the video for the new single - 'Magnificent'.
Bonus points for the name of the bridge, location and which other band has appeared on it.
The Bridge Over Troubled Water just along Simon and Garfunkel Avenue?
I believe its known as Epping Walk bridge.
Is it near Canal Street where he spends most nights?
Hulme with Mr Curtis & co ?
Not enough snow. 🤐
That's the Golden Gate Bridge, Tamworth, made famous by New Kids On The Block
The one Joy Division were photographed on?

Has Lee been in makeup?
Rhombus alumnus FTG doesn't have problems with deadlines. (Maybe he had therapy after departing)
Go buy this whilst you wait for us to get it together!!!!!
Album Update – Magnificent Single Release
You know how Rhombus feel about deadlines, right? You know we’ve never released an album on time, right? (Though we did release an EP on schedule once)
Love Is The Answer is currently being mixed by Doctor Michael Uwins (The MixMaster). It’s sounding fab, The Doc is putting together some stunning mixes. Really top notch. We think this is going to be our best ever release and we want Mike to have the time to do it justice.
Therefore, on December 7th we’re going to release Magnificent as a single. It will be issued digitally as the first of three single leading up to the release of the full album in March 2021.
Alixandrea Corvyn will be premiering Magnificent this Saturday at her online club night Sacrilege. Magnificent will then pop up on various playlists and shows in the run up to December 7th (Drop us a message if you want to give it a spin)
Thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered the album so far. We guarantee it will be more than worth the wait.
Ed, Rob, Alix and Lee

Trump's been given his cards.
What more could I ask for?
The next phase commences..........
Ah - going for the Journey vibe, I see!
Dunnnnny stop baylevin
Band meeting.
Plotting and scheming for the new album.
Exciting!!!!!!!
Rob Walker telling everyone how many pairs of Gen~Uine Denim he’s lost to the pandemic.
If there's a fan vote. More dual vocals. And yes you need recruit another guitarist. So dual everything, maybe ? Seriously, love the way that Ed and Alix vocals work together.
Time for dual bassists godammit! 🙂
As you probably know, we here at Rhombus consider ourselves World Citizens. So we're debuting an exclusive mix of one of the songs from the new album on Brazilian Radio (Bom!)
This will be the first chance to hear any of the new stuff, and It's going to be part of a fabulous Halloween special this Saturday, on Cult22. (11pm UK time).................
THIS SATURDAY (10/31) will have Halloween at "Cult 22 Saturday Party" with DJ Kell Kill and DJ Luc Venturim (Vox Lugosi) leading the party "Luiza Fria" playing gothic rock, post-punk , death rock, coldwave and darkwave.
Listen and dance (with the walls) from 8 pm to 0 am on Radioweb Cult 22: www.cult22.com
Due to schedules, busy workloads and that complicated little thing called 'life', Andy Holmes will be leaving Rhombus.
During his tenure with the band, Andy played 31 different guitars, wore just one hat and kept everyone entertained, as only he could, with his unique sense of humour. (The petrol pump prank, was always a non starter though)
Rob, Alix, Lee and Ed would like to thank Andy for the big contribution he made to Rhombus over the last five years and wish him and his lovely family all the best for the future.
See you down the road!!!!!!
quite a few good years of service put in..i think we tagged along from almost his first gig or one of his very early ones at Carpe when the rhombettes joined you on stage
Sorry to hear this, a lovely gentleman, a real pleasure to share a stage with on so many occasions!! Best wishes for the future Andy!! Love, light and peace!! 💜 😎
Andy is a top dude, hope he does well in whatever is next for him.
Best of luck Andy ✨💜
All the best for the future Andy.
Wishing you the very best of luck Andy. Cheers for the good times. See you around 🙂
Good Luck Andy wherever you lay your hat.
Blinking “life” always getting in the way of the important things! All the best to you Andy.
Oh well, bugger can't believe it's 5 years to be honest let's see what I can put together
Aw, this is sad, but good luck Andy - see you, and the rest of the Rhombus crew, soon I hope! J x
Sorry to read this but best of luck mr Andy Holmes x
All the best Andy.
Sorry to hear this,
Non-Mon.
Can I buy my Gibson back off him now?
Every success in the world for him ❤️
sad news great fella...
All the best for the future Andy, and thanks for some fantastic music.
Recording is a private business!
Brilliant! Looking forward to hearing the results. We've finished tracking and mixing and are on the final straight with the mastering.
recorded in the bathroom?
