When Bands Didn't Strive To Appeal To Fourteen Year Old Girls

Stolen Stuff - Keep Your Eyes Peeled

Spill My Seed, Suck My Waste (Slidin' In & Out of Grace)

I hope everyone is having a lovely year so far. I am, despite being skint, unemployed, and approaching my 31st birthday. Last year was mint, and this year is already shaping up to be the same. We've got a few rather special shows booked for the coming months (see right panel) and the split w/ Clean Kitchen is coming along nicely. I know I've been banging on about it for nearly a year, but shit happens, get over it.

As promised, the diary of the UK & Ireland tour w/ Guns or Knives is now up - click me. It's late but this time was late on purpose as it was included in an issue of Molten Magazine and I didn't want to piss them off. I've not yet seen it myself, so if anyone has seen it, please email it to me. It would be interesting to see how much got edited out!

He's Not Real You Little Twat

We've already been booked for a few shows next year! They include The British Wildlife Festival 6 in Leeds, The Caretaker Album Launch, The ArmaGedd'on! Festival in Plymouth and a one off show in Paris. We are also booking a tour of UK and Ireland with Love Among The Mannequins for 30th March to 8th April.

The split with Clean Kitchen is coming along nicely, we found another label to put it out [Count Your Troubles Count Your Blessings Records]. We are just finalising artwork and waiting for the masters. Not long now...

Death Pedals recently released an EP, it comes as a poster with a download code. It's a shit idea but it is great poster and the EP itself is mint. The download can be bought from here - http://deathpedals.bandcamp.com We got asked last minute to play their launch show at Scar Studios in Camden, Yokozuna drummer Russell Taylor videoed it




While I'm plugging stuff, buy these
http://music.caretakerband.com/album/providence - It's not officially out yet.
http://nitkowski.bandcamp.com/album/stay-in-the-home-you-love - It's officially out now.

Have a great Christmas, see you in the new year. x

Queen II

We got back home from our European tour last night, a massive thanks to EVERYONE involved. It was proper mint!

Two Above Zero

Tour starts this Wednesday at the Unicorn in Camden. It's also, and mainly, Nitkowski's album launch show. Death Pedals are also playing at this. The rest of the tour will take place in Europe Mainland, we will be visiting France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.

I'll write another diary, and maybe publish the last one I did of our time in Ireland. I wrote it ages ago but as it is being used in Molten Magazine I thought I'd hold back in publishing it on our tour diaries page.

Hopefully see you at a show!

It Flutters Like Soft Wings In Flight

A massive thanks to those that attended our show at The Unicorn in Camden. Weird Menace, Lupins, and Genetiks were all ace. It was great to have so many in attendance for Genetiks, who rarely tour these parts.

We've hit a slight snag with the release of our split with Clean Kitchen, we are just waiting to see who is interested in putting it out [one label has pulled out due to financial reasons]. It seems to have taken forever and should have been out months ago! I'll put up more news once we have it.

We've added a date to the tour of Europe with Nitkowski! It's Nitkowski's album launch show and will take place on Wednesday 23rd November at the Unicorn in Camden! It's free too. Won.

Other news, Solomon Grundy have split up. It's disappointing news but I'll get over it. Especially knowing that this beauty is coming out soon [Extreme Ultimate Magazine]. There is an interview with us in it and other better-than-an-interview-with-us stuff. The launch party is while we are on tour, but you can grab a copy there. I've seen it in file format and it looks great.

Come As You Are

Next Friday 4th November we [Triple Jump] are putting on and playing at the Unicorn in Camden. It's our first North London show in a few months and the other bands are mint. The venue is at 227 Camden road, NW1 9AA

Free show. Cheap alcohol. Four superb bands.

Lupins - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lupins/179840132031894
Three blokes being mint.

Genetiks - http://www.genoton.de/
German band from Nürnberg. This is the last date of their European tour!

Silent Front - http://www.silentfront.co.uk/
First London show for a few months. Should have some new tunes ready too!

Weird Menace
Three Lasses being mint. Like sandpaper scraping against speakers belting out tight angular rhythms in an ice cool way. Apparently.

Some Love, Somewhere

We were interviewed for the Irish music website Thumped.com a couple of weeks back and we had a page published about us in a recent edition of Molten Magazine in Northern Ireland. Gareth also wrote a double page spread on how actions speak louder than words in music, which was also published in Molten Magazine. You can see the Thumped interview here or you can buy a copy of Molten Magazine here. A big thanks to Ross Hunter and Ian Maleney for these. We get ignored by the press and fanzines in our home country so it was nice to be asked.

Right, Kim and Thurston have split up, I'm off to brush my hair and have a shave.

Triple Facespace

The Triple Jump Records all-dayer went extremely well and we had a wonderful time. We nearly broke even too. Thanks Shield Your Eyes, Nitkowski, Econo, Caretaker, Sweet Williams, Kong, Shoes and Socks Off, Alex Robertson [Sound], Chris White and his friend [Posters], Julie Kane [Zines] Al Bailey [Distro] and everyone who came. And anyone I've forgotten. It was shit that Bad Guys had to pull out but it couldn't be avoided.
