Bad Passion / AMO1 EP launch party


For anyone who's been sleeping under a rock for the past few months, time to sit up and take note that A Mountain Of One are just about to release their new E.P.

Back in 2007, AMO1 entered the fold with a series of ultra-limited releases, followed by their debut long player, Collected Works to much critical aclaim. The album, referencing the likes of Santana, Neil Young, and John Martyn, was one of the most absorbing pieces of music that year, and quite frankly up their with the greatest albums of it's genre (whatever that is).

So it's not without some excitement that we await the full release of their Instiute of Joy E.P, and to celebrate, the launch party is being held by none other than our friends Bad Passion.

Mo Morris of A Mountain of One will be gracing the decks, with a selection of tracks that have inspired the band, from oddball rock, to out-there psychedelia, plus the Bad Passion Project residents, who'll be keeping things going until 5am. If their last gigs are anything to go by, this is sure to be an incredible party, not to be missed!

Bad Passion are made up of Chris Stoker, Andy Bainbridge, and none other than Dan Mitchell, who some of you will know well from the Cosmic Truth. It's at this point, however, that we should say that from now on Dan is flying the Cosmic Truth nest to concentrate on Bad Passion. With a series of parties coming up to launch releases that will be exclusively available via his music retail site, who are we to hold him back.

We wish Dan and the rest of the Bad Passion boys all the best of luck in the future, not that they'll need it, and look forward to continuing to spread the cosmic message, on two front instead of one! Look out for future collaborations, but in the mean time, see you at the AMO1 EP launch party on Saturday!
