Also, a one off MTV show documenting the whole shennigans is on the cards – ‘if‘ we book some huge bands. Which is exciting and would be amazing, but who comes first, the chicken or the egg?
So we’re going to get on the blag, we have confirmed Howard Marks, Chicken Man and Billy Bailey is nibbling around the bait. Here is a personal invite to Noel Fielding too. Fancy it Noel?
And here is a wee vid of the Barker Band sessioning at a band stand somewhere in Austin, TX during SXSW… So good.
As a bit of fun on the side, we thought we’d see how far we can take this. We Skype interviewed internet legend Kyle Macdonald (video coming soon), he blagged his way from a red paper clip to a house. Its a wild story.
He gave us some advice for our own project but also gave us his blessing for us to poach his idea and for us to have a crack at it. haa. We’ll keep trading up until day 90 and see what we end up with. Keep an eye on the blog for the latest trade.

We’ve been umming and aaarrrrrrggh‘ing about advertising on this site and figured the best solution was to pawn off a load of pixels. So as of today, we have 100,000 pixels for sale and the starting price is set at: £5.00 per 10 x 10 pixel block (£0.05 per pixel) for a limited period. We know the pixel craze is well and truly dead on its arse, but the advantage we have over all these copy cat pixel grave yards, is that we actually have a bunch of content on the side to draw people to this site and to your pixel ad.
I sound like Del Boy now don’t I? But seriously, if you or your brand want to be associated with this million pound summer swindle, get your orders in because this could be the only opportunity to advertise on this site.
I have been a big fan of Chicken Man’s for years, I rarely watch the show, but for some reason Chicken Man really stood out. I’ve wanted to work with him on a project for years and finally got meet up with him through this Blag a Million fiasco.
If you don’t know who Chicken man is, watch his original X-Factor audition here:
As I type our friends, music producer Lester Deeble and Jettblack drummer Matt Oliver are working with Rob on producing a kick ass single. We are splitting any profits 50/50 with Rob, making him a kick ass music video and hopefully, fingers crossed, a cult classic that will creep up to Number 1!
We’ll keep you posted on our progress and post behind the scenes videos on this page, but during the interim, here is Chicken Man’s rendition of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Awesome.
To produce this No1 hit, we have roped in our music guru mates Lester Woodward and drummer Matt Oliver, between these 2 guys and Chicken Man we think we have the dream team. Check this behind the scenes video of the guys meeting for the first time on Skype:
After watching the vid, all you need to do is choose who you want to i-slap! It’s £1 per slap, you can email us a photo of yourself or your company logo. Once we have collected enough i-slaps we’re going to make a weird montage music video with all of your personal slaps. Go on. . . ‘ave a pop!
