Sadly the Weekend at The Asylum, in Lincoln, is now passing into memory. The kind of memory that a certain maker of cakes might produce - an exceedingly good one.
The highlight of the weekend from the Crimson Clocks point of view came on Saturday afternoon, when The Last Line launched a novel written by our vocalist Linzi. It is the first in a number of books in her Automata Wars series, this one is called The Home Front and tells the story of what is happening at home while the soldiers are fighting a mysterious enemy on the front line.
As if that wasn't enough Linzi has another story included in the Steampunk Compilation "The Lost Souls of The Asylum", which was also launched on Saturday. This is the third in a series of compilations which features other fine stories from writers including Arkwright, and Steve Cotterill.
If you've ever heard Crimson Clocks perform Evil Genius you'll know Linzi can recite a novel in under three minutes, so taking several months to write one probably seems much easier to her.
In the evening your humble scribe was witness to incredible performances from Whiskey Bob Shaker and BB Black Dog. Whiskey Bob Shaker is a hard act to follow, but BB Black Dog were up to the task, with an amazing drum solo from Axel included in the set.
And finally, if you are beginning to feel the onset of post Asylum blues, don't forget that in October Hallowsteam will be taking place in Birmingham - Crimson Clocks are stoking the furnaces in anticipation already.
Until next time, thanks for reading....
