MySpace a place for friends

Get Involved's three year tenure at central London venue The Social saw some legendary nights involving blistering DJ sets and a whole lot of audience participation as tambourines, maracas and various other musical instruments were dished out to the crowd and enthusiastically bashed to an undeniably infectious soundtrack of rock'n'roll, rhythm'n'blues, garage and soul.

While the monthly sessions have wound down (for now) Get Involved founder G the P's musical selections will still seep out into the world via the Get Involved website and the attached blog, at G's other night, Gerry's Joint up at The Boogaloo in Highgate (now in it's fifth year!) – and various other events and parties.

GET INVOLVED VINYL TOY!

Meet Hobson. Hobson is a trumpet-nosed dino-monster that's mad for as much musical mayhem as he can muster. He ALWAYS carries at least one maraca and can sometimes be seen brandishing a tambourine. His favourite club is Get Involved!

And friends of Get Involved may well recognise Hobson – because he was originally conceived to adorn the Get Involved poster that monster-loving design duo Peskimo created back in 2006.

Hobson is one of a series of 16 ultra-cute, 3-inch vinyl toys – many with articulated grabby parts and friends like bunnies, blobs or pieces of toast – all designed by Peskimo that form the BambooZoo series of mini toys – just unleashed by Kidrobot.
