It's the poster for the show and it says "Falling and Laughing: Indie pop from Birmingham / Appi: Dream pop from Japan / Pink Opaque: Future pop from Sheffield / Thursday 14 May, the Victoria, John Bright St, Birmingham city centre / Β£10 adv, 2 for 1 for under 25s / Β£12 on the door"

There's also a highly stylised (maybe 1960s-ish?) illustration of two people riding bicycles, seen head-on in silhouette

Last night's popshow was an affirmation of all that is vital and joyous about coming together in a safe non-commercial space to enjoy the company of other humans and ace music made by humans for the sheer holy fun of creating and performing.

Also we have a gif.

Managed to avoid both the UK budget and the Champions League by getting totally engrossed in one very small detail of a new @pinkopaque.co.uk song I'm making. Clearly I should sample Jesus Jones tracks more often.

Me on stage playing a synth and a theremin

At the @pinkopaque.co.uk show last night someone said playing synthpop is "a great reinvention" for me, and now I feel a compulsion to go full Kylie and follow up Indie Pete, Poetry Pete and Disco Pete with Soap Opera Pete and Girl Next Door Pete
