Block Rocker

Posted at 25 March 2008 by admin

You know what it’s like when you want a truly block rockin’ beat but the only beat available is from one’s desktop iPod docking station. And that warbly, measly beat simply won’t do. It’s in situations like these - for a children’s party, busking jaunt or sensory warfare against an unruly gang of spotty youths - that the Block Rocker is truly called for.

It’s just like a conventional iPod docking station, except it’s possessed of a monstrous amp and speaker combination in a heavy-duty, wheeled aluminium box, rendering it lethal in the wrong hands. Put it in the right hands, however, and it will happily dish-up high fidelity audio at a range of up to 150 feet. It’s portable, too, needing no mains power. An internal rechargeable does the business, complete with a battery level indicator to indicate precisely how many blocks you may rock in its 12 hours of music pow-pow-power.

With separate inputs and level controls for iPod, microphone, musical instruments and CD players (or other audio devices) there’s almost no limit to its scope. And, with enhanced bassiness for a bigger, richer sound, there’s no limit to how good it’ll make one sound.

But don’t let it go to your head. The Block Rocker device comes complete with a pro-quality microphone that will give you a commanding presence in front of a crowd. Just remember that it’s unlikely to be a crowd appreciative of your karaoke version of ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’. You have been warned.

Fire Bucket Barbecue

Posted at 26 February 2008 by admin

Sometimes simplicity is King. Strange how old fashioned Fire buckets had FIRE written on them and yet were actually full of sand, bizarre indeed. Fear not, we have righted that wrong. Our Fire buckets have exactly what it says on the tin (or bucket), at least they will do once you’ve lit the barbeque charcoal they are designed to hold. Fully portable and comes with it’s own grill rack, perfect for beach or garden.  How did anyone ever cook a burger over sand? Ridiculous.
