New Album, Available For Digital Download Now!

Hello there wizards and witches,

Well, we had a most splendid time partying with some of you at The Snow Ball in Edinburgh a couple of weeks back – I’m sure a blog about what a lovely time we had will spring up in the not too distant future.. : )

If you cast your minds back (or, y’know, just scroll down the page) you’ll remember that a while back we promised you would be able to grab a digital copy of our brand new shiny album, all about animals, Siriusly Hazza P and their Magical Menagerie. Now, that didn’t quite happen on time, as preparations for our trip to Scotland took over! But you’ll be happy to hear that you can now get a digital download of the album, right here from our website.

Just head over to our ‘Releases’ page and follow the simple instructions given and you too can become acquainted with the likes of Hedwig, Fawkes, Fang and more.

Lots of love and magic,

Siriusly Hazza P

Siriusly Hazza P and their Magical Menagerie!

As we told you at the start of the new school year, we are working very hard to bring you a brand new album. Today, we’ve decided to release some very exciting news!

We are pleased to announce that the title of the album is, which has a rather intriguing concept is, Siriusly Hazza P and their Magical Menagerie! 

The concept, as some of you may have guessed from the title, is based around some of our favourite magical creatures, and it’s lots and lots of fun!

You’ll be hearing from favourite pets Hedwig and Crookshanks, as well as some slightly more fearsome animals.

Here’s the definitive track listing:

1) Hedwig
2) Nagini
3) Arnold
4) Trevor
5) Crookshanks
6) Fang
7) Fawkes

Each song has a very different feel, but they all have the jazzy, poppy, Siriusly Hazza P harmonised style running through them. 

The album will be released on the 31st October 2012. Remember, half of the proceeds will go towards making The Snow Ball 2012 happen, and also supporting their chosen charities.

An Announcement!

Yesterday, September 1st, heralded the start of a new year at Hogwarts school. Once everybody was off the Hogwarts Express and stuffed full of food from the welcoming feast, we decided it was time for a little announcement! 

The news we brought, if you happened to miss it, was that we have written a new album! Though that’s not all…

It shall be released in the lead up to The Snow Ball (just think, you can learn the words beforehand!) and half of any galleons, sickles, or knuts, that we make will help fund the Snow Ball, or be given to the charities that it supports!

We hope you’re all looking forward to our new release – we’re really looking forward to sharing it with you!

If you haven’t yet seen it, here’s the poster for The Snow Ball! Harry and the Potters are now confirmed as playing, thanks to the overwhelming support of a lovely bunch of wizards from across the world!

Hello!

Wow, it has been a very long time since we last blogged, hasn’t it? Sorry for neglecting you!

We’ve been working very hard with our muggle band, Goodnight Astor recently! Visit our website for music and mystery – as in the time we have been away from this blog, we have written, recorded and produced our own Victorian murder mystery concept album – in which the listener has to solve the case of the murdered parlour maid from the clues laced within the songs.

When we’re not being wizards, we are Victorians.

But that’s not really what we’re here to talk about. Oh no. We want to talk about The Snow Ball 2012!

On December 1st, wizards from across the globe will be returning to Edinburgh for lots of merriment, dancing and festive fun, as The Snow Ball returns!

A photograph of some dashing wizards and fine young witches filled with joy over the news…

The line up was recently announced – and oh boy, what a line up! Joining us on the bill, are the splendid RiddleTM, the glorious Romilda Vane and The Chocolate Cauldrons, and a little known wizard rock band from across the pond, Harry & The Potters. Anyone heard of those guys…? I think they’re meant to be pretty good.

This is what Harry And The Potters look like with a dinosaur.

JUST KIDDING, WE’RE REALLY EXCITED! HATP! There’s one thing though, to make sure that The Snow Ball can secure their phenomenal headline act, 150 tickets need to be sold by 1st September. Tickets are on sale now, so get ‘em while they’re hot! Just follow this here link and you’ll secure yourself a ticket to the best Christmas party in town!

So, we’ll see you there then?

The Wizarding Winter Fair – This Friday!

Hello lovely wizards and witches!

Well, it’s been quite a while since we’ve written here hasn’t it? Blimey. We’ve been very busy between the pair of us, Laura setting up her own online shop (find her lovely handcrafted things at www.goodnightboutique.com) and establishing our muggle band, Goodnight Astor, a bit more – check out our site for lots of exciting updates and blog posts dedicated to our unique blend of Victorian murder mystery and music!

Not to fear though, this Friday you can see us as Siriusly Hazza P at the Wizarding Winter Fair at Macclesfield Public Library. The event, held in our hometown, is sure to be lots of fun – a blend of cake, quiz, crafts, carols and wizard rock that will fulfill yearnings for Hogsmeade no problem.
Saturday, there’s an open invitation for everyone to hop on the train to nearby Manchester and enjoy everything it has to offer, as well as an exciting key hunt you can participate in. And why not attend the lovely local Treacle Market in Macclesfield town centre before you depart on Sunday? Lots of lovely stuff to behold there!

There’s lots more detail on the Facebook event page linked above. If you haven’t yet bought your ticket and you find yourself intrigued by what you have read – there’s a link for buying on said event page, tickets will otherwise be £7 at the door, or £2 if you hold a East Cheshire Library card (after all, having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card – kudos if you get the reference)

We sincerely hope we see you there, as it promises to be a magical weekend of fun and festive frolicks!

Lots of love,
Siriusly Hazza P

Wrockeborg!

Last weekend we took a trip to Gothenburg, Sweden to play at Wrockeborg – a fantastic wizard rock event! We had a marvellous weekend taking a trip to the local zoo, the Universeum – a museum containing monkeys, sharks and a flying space chair, a wander around Gothenburg, some interesting local cuisine and of course the show!

It was a well attended event, maybe owing to the organisers appearing on radio and in the newspaper. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing the Swedish bands, as well as The Pumpkin Pasties and Romilda Vane and the Chocolate Cauldrons, who are both from closer to home but equally as fabulous.

View our videos from the weekend on our Youtube page - including our cover of Harry & The Potters’ Save Ginny Weasley and a vlog of the fun times we had!

Thanks for having us Sweden!

The next event coming your way will be the Wizarding Winter Fair, held in Macclesfield near Manchester – check out the details here!

4 years!

Yesterday marked the four year anniversary of our first ever Wizard Rock show, which means over four years being involved in this amazing fandom and the people who make it.
We’ve definitely come a long way over this period, changes in line up to changes in musical direction bringing us to be the band we are today.

SHP, circa ’07

We organised our first show by ourselves, performing at our local library to an audience of around 40 people on a rickety little keyboard in our coloured jeans. Things have definitely changed since then, sequins and feathers being more our style these days, as well as our performance and music skills growing.

SHP – 2k10

Since then we’ve had a chance to play with some of our favourite Wizard Rock bands, as well as making new friends.

Here’s to more magical shows in the future!
