I've had so much lovely feedback about this PART CHIMP article. Even heard from a guy who said he promoted the farewell LIGAMENT show I mentioned. Turns out he was a member of HEY COLOSSUS, another band I love & have seen live many times.

It’s nice when other journalists mention a book you’ve written. Here’s Electric Wizards popping up in an article about the mighty PART CHIMP on the excellent Echoes And Dust site. Thanks @jonezyboy.bsky.social 🙉

Yeah, old rockers who talk about Sabbath & Motorhead being the loudest have obviously never heard Chimp. I saw Jim Jones when he was in Thee Hypnotics in the early 90s. A lifetime of gigs ago.

Tony Jones @jonezyboy.bsky.social · 24d

Cheers. Yeah Gnod can be very loud too, but mellow on other live occasions. The New Cross was a terrific show, you couldn't move! Some of the cool footage on the Chimp FB page is mine. The sound was perfect, balanced between noise & volume. With old fav encore 'Hello Bastards' tunes too!

Part Chimp have been a thing now for 25 years. These years have given me absolutely the best experiences of my life.

I'm glad that some of our stupid endeavours have found an audience, resonating more with some than others. @jonezyboy.bsky.social

Nice to see the Serendipity Literary Agency @serendipitylit.bsky.social & Regina Brooks namecheck my work reviewing YA & Middle Grade horror for @gnofhorror.com in Publishers Weekly, @publisherswkly.bsky.social. Kids horror is the lifeblood of the genre! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Spooky Middle Grade Still Sells

With editors looking for shorter, more plot-driven middle grade projects these days, agents have seen an uptick in the horror genre for younger readers.
