Look! Some screenings!
Separado screenings
There is even one very near me. How nice! In a great cinema to boot. I will go in tomorrow to see if I can book tickets.
It would be too much to ask for Gruff to do a spontaneous gig and/or Q&A at Norwich Cinema City too... but a gal can dream.
Check it out.

Separado galore
Courtesy of the nice people at Soda Pictures, here is the official poster for 'Separado!'. Is that typography cool or what?
There are, apparently, more screenings to be announced, but at the moment these are the confirmed screenings;
30/07 - 2 week run. Q&A date to be confirmed.

01/08 - with a live performance from Gruff and Tony
BFI
London
02/08 - with Q&A

Ak! If only I knew about the BFI screening (the day after Field Day) before I booked travel and the hotel...
The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness
Oh, yeah... 'In a House With No Mirrors (You'll Never Get Old)' is now available for free download from Turnstile. Woop!

Separado! + The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness
Long time since I last posted; just down to sheer laziness, unfortunately. None of this will be news to anyone but I'm losing track, again, of dates and links etc. so thought it would be best to bring them all into one place...
Separado!
In that last post I lied, that wasn't the 'Separado!' trailer, merely the opening titles of 'Separado!'. This is the trailer, complete with cheesy American voice-over. I like!
Official 'Separado!' trailer
There have been a few reviews knocking around. Some good, some not-so-good. Apparently both Total Film and Sight and Sound have been quite positive (although their reviews don't appear to be online yet), as they seem to appreciate the inherent surreal qualities of the film.
'Separado!' is being distributed UK-wide by Soda Pictures and the official general release date is 30 July (info thanks to @DanLThomas on Twitter). I doubt it will be released absolutely everywhere in the UK but it should be coming to a major city near you!
The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness
Something that I haven't even mentioned on here is Gruff's new album with Brazilian musician Tony Da Gatorra (remember him from TrocaBrahma 2007?). It is, rather brilliantly, called 'The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness', is released at the end of July, has a stunning psychedelic cover and you can view the first video on Turnstile's website! Check it out;
Tony Da Gatorra vs Gruff Rhys - In a House With No Mirrors (You'll Never Get Old)
You can also pre-order the album and get a limited edition t-shirt for £20 (Offer ends 12 July)
To promote the album there will be a couple of Tony Da Gatorra Vs Gruff Rhys live dates;
28/07
Clwb Ifor Bach
Cardiff
29/07
Clwb Ifor Bach SOLD OUT
Cardiff
30/07
Camp Bestival
Dorset
31/07
Field Day Festival
London
I will be attending Field Day as it's cheap, closer to me and there are a plethora of great bands. Including, announced after I bought the tickets, Cate Le Bon. Gruff Rhys and Cate Le Bon in one day can't be bad! I will, of course, take as many photos as possible and will post them on here in early August (but don't hold your breath).
The album is reportedly a lot more experimental and a lot less melodic than what we're used to from Gruff. Which could be a good or a bad thing depending on your perspective. I do have a soft-spot for quite experimental music so I'm very much looking forward to this. Others are not. Ah, well.
The Gruffington Post
I'd keep an eye on www.gruffrhys.com. It's changed back to promoting TTOCL but a while ago they had a test site which looked like it could be quite cool. I'm guessing that will go live soon, so keep checking back.
