Rob Dougan 'Furious Angels' Exhibition

On Wednesday the 6th of February, I travelled to London by personal invitation by Rob Dougan. The reason for this was the launch party for music/artwork for the debut album. It was to take place in the fashionable Portland Place W1. As I walked towards the venue, it was easy enough to spot as there were paparazzi waiting to snap celebs, like myself :)

Inside, I passed a video-screen, where a plaster-sculptured head was seen to be exploding, then re-assembling itself. The next room contained several large print-outs of Rob, and the same head with different, dramatic lighting and incredibly clever visual effects on each one. Each lit by a single spot-light, the room was very inspiring. No doubt, a good omen for the music that was to come.
From there, I headed upstairs into a room lit by purple scans and the sound of 'Furious Angels' in the background. Exotic food was available(brought by the good people at Carlunnio's) along with sophisticated vodka drinks(which I obstained from). Among the celebs there I spotted Radio 1 DJ, Dave Pearce and Dominic Anciano, star of BBC Comedy, 'Operation Good Guys'. The two big rooms were really filling up as fast as the glasses. Then the man walked in, it was Rob Dougan. Initially, he was speaking to a large elderly Scotsman, called 'James' who seemed very "important". Dougan's manager, introduced himself, he's been very helpful organising accomodation for me. After chatting briefly to him, it was time to meet Rob. Having just completed the video for Clubbed To Death in South Africa, he looked very well and relaxed mingling with guests. He asked if I was enjoying myself, which I was, and said he checked the 'robdougan.net' site frequently, and think it's really good.
It was a great experience and after Furious Angels, I heard some brilliant new music being played from the debut album and it is really worth looking forward to. I then left fairly early as I had a long journey come morning, and had to fights my way through excess photographer.
