HEXMX #1 - RIBBONS RMX

Dear Patrons,

It's a been another New Moon and it is HOT.

July is coming to an end and I feel like I'm melting as I type this. Are you in a heatwave too? Have we finally entered the seventh circle of hell???

Anyway. I have just the soundtrack for that.

However...

THIS IS NOT A REMIX.

It is a HEXMX.

Sorry to be so dramatic but I would really love you to experience this beautiful collaging of worlds that T...

Dear Patrons,

It’s summer. My favourite time of the year when my arch-nemeses (the cold) fucks off for at least 2 months and life’s problems just melt away into the sunny evenings, my mind is awake and alert, and my little herb garden flourishes with new shoots and flowers.

I want to be outside. I want to create. I want to see people, make music and make the most of existence.

I feel lucky to be here right now, which is weird, I’m usually a bit of a pessimist. But I’...

DEAD LIGHTS - The Music Video feat. PollyPikPocketz

Dear patrons,

This month's official "thing" (apart from the webcast - how much fun was that!? You can watch on catchup here) is a beautifully put together glitchcore collage video (made by Third Bloom) and song from myself and Myura from PollyPikPockets.

The song is called DEAD LIGHTS, and was born out ...

No Exit, Nymphs and Noses... a blog of epic proportions

My dearest patrons,

This month was insane on so many levels... I don't really know where to start but firstly let me confess - the main "thing" is ready but the other remaining tiers will definitely be late. 

The cover, the photobox and the handmade merchandise will trickle out later this week. 

I'm sorry about this, it really couldn't be avoided - I've had more on my plate than I'm able to handle right now, but it is alllll good.

Let me fill...

Georgia Train & Mishkin Podcast

Hello lovely patrons,

Got a surprise treat for you this month. I was featured on Georgia Train's podcast a little while back, and now it's out for your listening/watching pleasure.

We chat about old times, being on tour, feminism, religion and many more things... to be honest we did a lot of talking.

Hope you find something you can relate to, enjoy the podcast and if you're not a patron of Georgia yet you can find her 2022-05-24 10:31:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Mishkin's Patreon Vlog - April 2022

Dearest Waxing Gibbous Moons,

My patreon vlog from April is here! And it's fairly epic - it includes lots of BTS from the "Ribbons" shoot, plus some mushroom picking, and the usual witchcraft you've come to see from us 🧙🏻‍♀️

I hope you enjoy it, it's rather fun.

Love & Feathers,

RIBBONS

Dear Patrons,

I am working late tonight. Seems like recently I've been burning the candle at both ends but I'm happy to say that it's been productive at the Nest. I'm on the edge of burnout so very happy that this particular project is now in the bag... I'm so very happy with it!

Here I have for you the very first song from HEX, the new album, which we will be revealing to you bit by bit. It's called RIBBONS, and is about the pathways of your life becoming a tangl...

March 2022 - the vlog

Hello lovelies,

Bit late with this one but better late than never and oh-my, it is worth the wait!

This is one of the best vlogs we've done in ages... you'll get behind-the-scene on the set of "ILLUMINATE", recordings from HEX, an insight into what Hana and I got up to on our writing retreat, and I spray Simon in the face with fake blood.

So many lolz, and excellent editing from our video guy, Matas.

Enjoy!

With much love and feathers,

NEW DOCUMENTARY - The Way The Music Died

Dearest Flock,

Today our Mishkin was featured in a documentary called "The Way The Music Died". 

It also features Georgia Train of Bitter Ruin fame, Not Saints UK & Milky The Rapper.

This expose is especially relevant to all of you w...

Dear Flock,

This month is very exciting as we will be releasing the first official single from HEX.

It's been a long time coming. 

These songs were written during the early stage of the pandemic but they've been swimming around my head for some time before that too.

The new songs... what can I tell you about them?

They're a big step away from where we were. The music has very dream-like quality, but with an aggressive edge, complex drum patt...

GRACE'S CRADLE - The mini album

Dearest Patrons,

It is with great pleasure that I can finally share with you with very first offering from my side-project Mishkin Fitzgerald and The Chemical Perils.

There are 8 songs in total, most of them you can heard on patreon as first demos or early mixes. Here they are in beautiful crisp audio form, with some rather lovely introductions from one of Garry's friends, fondly known as "Ketamine Ryan" (don't ask). It is called The Chemical Perils after all 😂...

MISSISSIPPI - The Music Video

Hello wonderful patrons...

Got a real treat for you tonight. 

This is our cover of the Jamie Lenman song, Mississippi.

I discovered Jamie through our videographer and photographer Scott Chalmers. He always plays great music during our shoots, and several years ago shared to me this gem - the JL album called 2022-03-12 22:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Fucked Up Family

Dearest Patrons,

There is so much going on at The Nest at the moment I don't even know where to start. How about with this? Hana Piranha (& friends) are putting out a single today and the music video is out TONIGHT at 8pm.

THE FUCKIST UPPIST

As you all know - Hana is my sister-from-another-mister. Birdeatsbaby + Piranha are pretty much just one big fucked-up) family. We share the same shows, manager, costumes... rumour has it we even have a se...

Mishkin's Vlog - Feb 2022

Hello Waxing Gibbous Moons...

Here is my vlog for the month of February. Enjoy behind-the-scenes clips from the new studio, Hana's ridiculous slippers, some tubas and Garry shredding some riffs from Ribbons.

Love & Feathers,

голобои вагон (A Russian Folk Song for Children)

привет покровители!

For those of you who don't speak Russian, that means Greetings Patrons! For those of you who do, I really hope I nailed the accent and pronunciation on this song? 

It's called голобои вагон (Blue Wagon).

I should mention - I do know there is a lot of conflict going on in Russia and Ukraine right now. To be honest I'm worried, having got friends and Birdeatsbaby Flock in both countries.

However, I've been learning Ru...

Pink Elephants (Chemical Perils Version!)

Dearest Patrons,

If I told you this song didn't terrify me as a young child I would be lying. If you didn't already know this is the song from the 1950s Disney film, Dumbo. The animation itself is downright disturbing, and the song itself not much cheerier. However, now as an adult, and now a lover of all things twisted, I have reclaimed it and faced my fears to bring you this rather excellent cover (if I am allowed to say so myself!)

It is possibly the most fun I have ever had in...

JANUARY 2022 - Mishkin's Vlog

Hello beautiful Waxing Gibbous Moons...

As promised, I now have the video blogs coming out earlier in the month (it's nice to spread out the posts a bit I feel), so this is me doing my thing throughout January.

The video includes footage from recording my song "Legs Broken", some guest appearances (including my new dance instructor) and a lot of me rambling to camera. 

Enjoy, and see you next month!

Love & Feathers,

LEGS BROKEN + mini-webcast tonight 8pm!

Helloo Patrons,

Yes. Finally. January is over. The worst of the winter is behind and finally looks like things might just pick up again for the music industry.

I have 3-4 shows booked for later this year, 2 music videos on the horizon and a whole bunch of things planned. Patreon is still going strong and most of you are still here, so THANK YOU for your patience with everything.

This month's official "thing" is LEGS BROKEN. One of my most angry/evil songs to...
