'Stroud' official music video directed, filmed and edited by Jake Earwaker Films. Shot on location in Stroud and the surrounding Cotswolds countryside.
If dinosaurs were around these days, I'm pretty sure they would have loved to be able to travel on a skateboard... Imagine how much it would speed up their migration and moving around the cities ;)
High quality digital print on a 100% cotton Tshirt. Can you imagine how much faster the migration of dinosaurs would have been back in the day if they used skateboards? ;) These Tshirt prints have come out lovely - front (The Uplifter) and back print (Skateboardersaurus)
One thing I collect millions of is COTTON TOTE BAGS... You can never have too many, right? ;) Hand-Printed beautifully and ready to carry your records and groceries
I love dinosaurs but my love of coffee might even exceed that love... So it made sense to combine the two in the newest batch of merchandise ;)
The new Tshirts have been printed and look AWESOME! Have your very own Dinosaur-Bathing-In-Coffee-Uplifter-Tshirt!

I remember the days when long sleeve (mostly Nirvana) Tshirts where in fashion in the early 90s... Long sleeves seem to be having a comeback, here's your chance to have one with a dinosaur on! :D

This vinyl release features all of the tracks featured here on the The Uplifter Bandcamp corner (Please refer to the individual digital tracks for a preview)...
When the world we are presented with gets too much, for me, I've always pictured my family, friends and all the conscious minded people launching some wooden boats, rowing off into the distance on calm water into a warm sunset to some place better. Somewhere peaceful.
This cover features my pet lizard Draco (see if you can spot him!), family members and with references to fishing and water - themes which always seem to crop up. Many years were spent in Ireland and after two tours of New Zealand - the landscape on both the record sleeve and label remind me of the landscape in both of these beautiful countries.
Paul Fox features on the second verse of Freedom Chant and sings with me on the chorus.
The vinyl release is dedicated to my great uncle, Uncle Mick, who was one of my favourite people in the world. He passed away during the production of this record. We used to go fishing together in Ireland from when I was a child, up to recent times. If you look closely bottom left of the image, he is fishing off the back of a boat (much easier to see on the vinyl record sleeve).
Uplifter Sound System logo created by Radim Malinic, who created the original Uplifter logo from scratch.
Printed onto well-made Gildan T-shirts and screen printed by hand by none other than the legendary 80s skateboarder Don Brider in Southampton UK.
... and yes, we should have ironed the T-shirts before taking photos!
Edition of 20
The Uplifter original logo adapted by Fang Gleizes. Fang added tree roots 'growing downwards' from the logo with a sound system bass bin/scoop entangled within it. It also features the percussion used at every Uplifter gig - 1950s copper timbales, cowbells and cymbal.
