Tom Slatter’s Sunday Bootleg Podcast Episode 1
I’m doing a new podcast. I have loads of recordings from gigs hanging around, so I thought I’d share them and tell you some of the entirely true stories that happened at these gigs.
Here’s Episode 1: A Big Egg
Creating the Artwork for Fit the Fourth
Joe has written a blog post about how he created all the artwork for Fit the Fourth. Click here to read it!
This image is several different views of my tentacle puppet stitched together. I really like the way the light plays through the slime dripping of the tentacle. Slime makes everything better

I’m really looking forward to getting out of London for some of these gigs. I’m hoping to get to other parts of the country and keep up the pace of about one per calendar month (I know, that might not sound a lot, but it’s plenty when you’re balancing it around full time work!).
If you’re able to come along, please do, it would be great to have a nice turn out. If you can’t but you know people in London, Winchester or Brighton who might want to come, please let them know!
It’s halloween. Here are some of my murder ballads.
I have written one or two songs the subject matter of which could be desribed as a tad dark.
What the Orderly Saw is about a hospital orderly interrupting some criminals and being shot dead
Nightfall is about the hunger for human flesh that we all feel. Go on, admit it, you want to taste long pork.
Self Made Man is about replacing your body parts with mechanical alternatives in a bid to escape whatever it was that happened to your wife.
Ironbark is 20 minutes long. On average, that’s one person dead every four minutes. “5 men know where the bodies are buried, here in Ironbark”.
Ghosts in my Dreams is about your guilt over the bodies you’ve left behind.
In Some of the Creatures Have Broken the Locks on the Door to Lab 558 everyone dies. Everyone.
Secret CD
Sending out CDs. 
Can you get one? No. These are only going to people who open every email from my mailing list. Ha!
My first print interview…
… of course also exists online.
‘Tom Slatter is a quintessentially British eccentric with a quirky imagination who has produced some of the most innovative progressive music in recent years.’
Now that’s getting quoted everywhere.
