ORGAN THING: Thierry Noir maps out his London street art locations….

Street Artist Thierry Noir has been applying his (very) bright colour to the dull and dirty walls of various grey European cities for many years, his faces are all over London, and when he does take over a gallery, like his recent works that have filled the walls of East London’s Howard Griffin Gallery, the…

ORGAN THING: Clipping, Fat Fingers, Old Man Trump and U.S Elevator, thirty days of songs Donald Trump won’t like…

Last throws in something or other, there’s a bag of musical things cluttering up the flow along with the fallen leaves and the harassment of helicopters forever watching East London. A bag load of new music to catch up with, no time today though, and this is kind of important. Over in the land of…

ORGAN THING: Spare a moment for London’s rather unique arts radio station Resonance FM

Resonance is a rather special radio station, a unique radio station, Resonance is London’s rather unique arts radio station. No secret that over the last ten years (or more? Probably more) we here at Organ have been heavily involved both in terms of broadcasts and behind the scenes. Right now Resonance needs a little bit…

ORGAN THING: One thousand things, as calm as can be. not cold and not in the English sea…

According to the stats, yesterday’s post about Dan Pasteiner’s first solo exhibition at Redchurch Street’s studio1.1 gallery was the 999th post on these pages. Of course Organ has been around far far longer than just the short 999 page life of this back-to-basic no-frills blog version of course, Organ predates the internet, predates social media,…

ORGAN THING: Exoplanet Dive Bar is Dan Pasteiner’s first solo exhibition at Redchurch Street’s studio1.1 gallery

There’s a certain pleasure in seeing that red door open, seeing it still there, almost a relief, the gallery, defiantly right there, a last slice of hope on East London’s Redchurch Street and that former glorious of a road once alive with art and creativity rather than the dull thud of cash registers, coffee shop…

ORGAN PREVIEW: Grow Your Own and a wholesome a slice of Anthrax, proper Anthrax mind you…

Ah the Dublin Castle, it was never the most friendly of Camden venues, lots count of the number of times the grumpy Irish guy who ra nit banned me. he banned me one night even though i was putting the gig on, I don’t care if you are organizing things, you’re not coming in, he…

ORGAN: R.I.P Pete Burns, it would appear that the much loved Dead or Alive singer died yesterday…

Reports are coming in of the sad news of the death of pop singer (and so much more) Pete Burns, it would appear that the much loved singer  has died, at the age of 57.  According to a statement posted on his Twitter page, Pete died on Sunday (23 October), after suffering cardiac arrest…. sad…

ORGAN THING: Darren Coffield, Dave Hopper, Durham Miners, Megan Pickering, Clammy Hands and…

And with the anniversary of Aberfan disaster and that devastation that hit Welsh mining community fifty years ago on our minds today, it seemed rather fitting to mention miners, communities, legacies and the latest artistic endeavours of painter and writer Darren Coffield. Coffield, the artist, painter and writer behind the excellent Joshua Compston book amongst…

ORGAN THINGS: Built with the collected detritus of art fairs? Is Sex Swing’s menace ready to go?

Now this was kind of bothersome over at Frieze a couple of weeks back, all that infrastructure, all that wood, I did ask, I got no response, went and had a look at the end but the security really didn’t get it. Did rather looking like there was a forest or two of waste and…

ORGAN THING: TaxiWars? A dEUS? Take a right turn, take a left turn… What’s this? This is good, and in town next week…

Now dEUS were a very fine band indeed, that sound of theirs and those little bits of arithmetic and oft-kilter washing machine suds and soda that flowed so so beautifully, and well when even the slightest hint of a dEUS flavour crosses out path then we do indeed forget about punctuation and sit up and…
