Howdy ! Charlie Longlive/Pet Sounds here, Trist’s lent me his log in for this urgent message…I’m very proud to use this, my first post here on Strong Island, to promote Southsea son and artiste extraordinaire Russell Hardman AKA GrowABrain. Russ was kind enough to design the ‘Longlive Southsea’ tee for Bored recently and has made countless posters for me and my nights over the years. If you have a spare 3 minutes today, have a look at the competition that he’s entered to design a Tee for The Flaming Lips. If you think his is the best, vote for it, simple as that. There’s not a great deal of time left to vote so get moving !

You can log your vote HERE and check out the rest of Russell’s sublime work at www.growabrain.co.uk
