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?

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!

Goodnight Astor, Wrock London and Leakycon!

Wow, it’s really been quite some time since we’ve updated our website. We’ve been rather busy this year focusing on our education but it’s all drawing to a close, so we now have more time to focus on our music, not just our wizard rock project, but our other band Goodnight Astor – you should check out our site if you’ve not already. We’re really excited to be able to now take time to develop our music with this band – recording songs and performing them locally. So keep your peepers on that one.

It’s not been all quiet on the Siriusly Hazza P front this year though, in March, we performed at Wrock London 2011 at the SCR Bar at Queen Mary’s University in London – hosted by the ULU Harry Potter society. We had a great time performing with The Deathsticks and Romilda Vane and the Chocolate Cauldrons and it was great to join in the now traditional wizard dance party at the end of the evening!

You can watch clips of our set here:

This coming summer we’re off to enjoy sunny Florida for Leakycon 2011! This is the first con we’ve attended & it’s sure to be great. How many of you wizards will we be seeing there?

2010!

And so it’s time to wave goodbye to 2010!

We’ve had a fun, busy and amazing year – spending time with our wizarding friends, performing at some amazing events, recording our EP and wearing some marvelously sparkly outfits.

Here we’ve managed to squeeze some of that into just over 3 minutes in a reminiscent montage video, you should take a look!

Also recently uploaded to our youtube channel are videos of our performance from The Snow Ball!

Hope everyone has a great time celebrating the New Year and here’s to lots more fun in 2011!

It’s nearly Wrocktoberfest time!

This time next week we’ll be on our way to Cumbria, home of hills and lakes, to perform at Wrocktoberfest, Cumbria’s first Wizard Rock show!
Also performing will be The Lost Diadems (their first show with their new line-up! Be excited!), Romilda Vane and the Chocolate Cauldrons (she has a lovely lovely voice! Be excited!) and The Dark Mark Experience (they have arranged all of this and it’s their first show! Be excited!)
Being as it is on the night before Halloween, I’m sure a wonderful time is to be had 🙂 A bit of dressing up maybe?

If you’ve not yet got your tickets but the above description has swayed you towards going, take a look at the Facebook event page, from which you can find the link to buy tickets.

Whilst busily practising for the show, we found time to put together some classic close-harmony songs from the 1940s and quickly record them into a video for your viewing (and listening) pleasure, do take a look!

Wizard Rock @ Cork Midsummer Festival!

We had such a good weekend in Cork! The show went great and we got to hang out with so many amazing wizards over the few days we were there.

In the ‘Shows’ part of the pictures section are a few pictures of our set for you to peruse and posted on our youtube channel is a video with just a tiny bit of the awesomeness packed in for you to watch! Unfortunately we didn’t get any footage of the show, but you can catch up with all that went on at Wizardrock.co.uk’s UStream channel, as they aired live & recorded the whole event – no excuses to miss out on the happenings now!

We’re itching to play more shows soon!

So, um, yes, hold onto your hats!

Spy Photoshoot!

We do like to think outside the box sometimes, it’s a fact. So when we decided it was time to do another photoshoot we thought we’d expel everyone’s expectations by – wait for it – not wearing dresses. Cue the gasps here guys. Instead, we donned trousers. Something which is somewhat of a rarity in camp Siriusly Hazza P.

The theme for this shoot was spies and detectives, based on literary figures from James Bond to Sherlock Holmes and we’ve tried to capture them in a graphic-y way (not graphic as in violence, blood and guts I hasten to add..)
Cast your eyes on the results here!

ULU HP Society Show!

So, last Thursday we had a show at the Duck & Dive bar in London. It was great to see some of you there and we hope you enjoyed our set!

If you couldn’t make it down, here’s some clips for your ears to listen to:

Amy of  Romilda Vane and the Chocolate Cauldrons made an exciting announcement that evening – June 27th, a show in Cork with Romilda Vane and the Chocolate Cauldrons, Siriusly Hazza P & Harry and the Potters! That’s not one to miss out on now, is it? 😀
