The beast awakes. Ok, perhaps that's a little over-dramatic. Forgive me this one though, please. It's been a long time. What I really mean to say is that we are once again doing things musically outside the confines of sweaty back rooms and plush London studios. Things you can tune in to. Things you can attend. First up will be an appearance of "bits of ist" on Harborough FM - Kenton...
I apologise to my regular readers for the uncouth and caddish way in which I have, of late, abandoned you. No doubt, heavy with child, you have wandered the virtual streets calling my name before collapsing into a damp and rumpled puddle of withdrawal and grief. On the other hand, perhaps you have simply been getting on with your lives; with nary a thought spared for the one magical night we sp...

ist's Kenton Hall explains the philosophy behind our music.There is a story that I tell. I likely tell it far too often and one of these days, a friend or family member is going to sneak up behind me and garrotte me with a length of fishing line. No, it's not the one about that. Or that one, either. Now that I think about it, there are many stories that I tell too often. However, the story I am...
It's been a funny week-or-so.I've had the most unusual ear infection. For a working musician, this is not good news at any time. When your half-way through making your biggest ever album, it's little short of a disaster.I'm telling you this so, if you've been following, you know why there hasn't been an album update in a while.That over with, I return the stage to Mr Kenton Hall, Minister for i...

Ok, so here's the deal.We, the band ist, are currently recording our most recent album since the last one. We are sharing the experience with you all; the pain, the joy, the torment, the burst eardrums, the sweaty hotel rooms, the thrill... everything, warts and all and as it happens.Now, the blogathon has been running for some time over on our proboards forum (http://kentonist.proboards70.com/...
