Hello there!! There’s a week left of the tour, good lord I know we’ve been out and about for quite a while now and there’s still a week left to go! Things have been going pretty awesomely though!

Big shout outs to everyone who’s gone out bought the album or stayed in and paid to download the album! If you didn’t pay to download the album I’m not angry just really really disappointed!

So tonight we’re playing in York which has somehow spawned a Tardis-like dressing room! Tomorrow it’s lovely old Birmingham and yesterday was Nottingham! Then day off times in Brighton!

So thus concludes a fairly pointless blog! But, you know it’s good to waffle, to paraphrase Mr Hoskins!

The blogs have been few and far between on this tour, mainly due to the fact that internet is a far rarer commodity than you might imagine.

We’re halfway through the tour now and Straight Lines have left, they’re on their way to SXSW! It was sad times many manly tears were shed in the streets surrounding Liverpool Academy.

Today we’re saying hello to White Belt Yellow Tag which should be awesome beans! Another first for us on this tour, we’re playing King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow tonight somehow things have always come up that have prevented us actually playing here it’s pretty exciting stuff despite the many many many many steps we’re going to have to negotiate with all our gear!!

Today we be in Colchester for tonight’s show! It looks like it’s going to be a good one!!

We’ve got an epic stained glass window going on as a backdrop today, all very gothic and awesome!!

Anyhoo the album came out yesterday and it’s amazing to actually see it on shelves in shops and on itunes and everywhere you can buy music from generally. The fact that it’s on our own label makes it even sweeter, it’s proof that you don’t have to have a big major label behind you to make things happen.

Thanks to everyone who’s come out to the shows so far, it’s been well good!!

Pick up the album, have a listen, then come have a sing and a boogie with us!!

Love it!

… we couldn’t bring you the sunshine but we’ve definitely brought a shitload of loudness!!

So far we’ve been on what seems like a fairly extensive tour of the West Country but fear not we’re playing the rest of the UK pretty damn thoroughly also, so have a look at the front of the site for tour dates and get some tickets!!

So just to get you all in that Yeovil mood here are some Stormtroopers walking around Yeovil

Here’s the fine flavorsome taste of me….

Woke up in Falmouth today to the Escher-esque nightmare that is a tour bus parked on a slope, blood flowing wholly and completely to the top of my head. It’s one of the many delights unique to living on a tour bus (unless you go caravanning a lot, you’d be silly to do it though.)

Anyway Falmouth is turning out to be a pretty darned awesome place if you like the seaside and nice little towns, which on a tour of lots of inner-city pre-fabricated venues makes an aweome change.

So, inspired by the fact that there are a lot of old gig posters stuck up all round the venue here are some of the bands that have played in falmouth’s Princess Pavillion.

Asia – Heat Of The Moment

Ben Taylor – Digest

Toots and The Maytals – Sweet & Dandy

Well it’s been absolutely ages since we’ve been on a good long proper tour. Now it’s only 10 minutes till we leave for the first gig in Swindon 12 Bar tonight. It’s all very very exciting!

Plus our new album ‘Tear The Signs Down” was delivered yesterday. It’s very shiny, new and thing of absolute beauty I can’t really comprehend why you won’t all be hammering the doors of your local record store to get your hands on your very own copy.

And there’s more!!! Run and Hide was released on Sunday on that old iTunes service and various other MP3 related download-type site things so you can grab a piece of the action a week ahead of the release so that’s spectacularly brilliant ain’t it!?!

So here are a bunch of links where you can buy Run and Hide or Pre-order Tear The Signs Down.

Aha!! Ahoy there peeps! it’s been a long long long time since I’ve written any kind of blog-type stuff on this website. So I thought, what with Tear The Signs Down and a big tour imminent, it was about time I use to my spare time to do something productive . Rather than spend my evening watch Batman cartoons and tirelessly clicking refresh on Twitter I thought I’d post up a few tunes I like.

Paul Simon – Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Country Girl

The Beach Boys – Good Vibrations (Live)

Not my favourite Beach Boys song. Well worth watching this video though for a be-mulleted Paul Mccartney, and to see Brian Wilson being basically the Marlon Brando of classic pop.

Anyway there’s some stuff what I’ve been listening to, there’ll be a lot more relevant blogging soon I promise!

See y’all soon!

Hello peeps! just thought I’d write a short little something to say thanks to everyone who came down to our Hoxton gig last Thursday. It was awesome to see so many people a wicked start to a new decade. The album’s all ready to go and being sent off for production this week, it’s all very exciting, soon there’ll be brand new shiny copies for everyone!!

Our next gig is a week Thursday in London’s very own Borderline, it’s sold out (Good God!) but there are still tickets available for our Camden barfly show on the 18th of Feb. As you all know it promises to be excessively sweaty so get your bums down!

Hopefully soon the new Vid for Run & Hide will be up on here very very soon! It’s all finished so we’re just waiting, don’t know what for, but it’s a music industry standard to wait.

Anyhoo see y’all soon.

Well the new year is here and brilliantly snowy it has been too, so far. Next week we start out on the road to promote our next long-player ‘Tear The Signs Down’. We’ve spent the last week rehearsing and dusting off those christmas cobwebs so we’re on top form for all you lovely people at our gigs.

We’ve also been busy making a video for the next single, ‘Run and Hide’. We’re still mulling over what kind of release it’s going to be, we’re thinking downloads again. There’ll also be a 7″vinyl version available on the tour, this website and hopefully some of the few indie record stores that are left!

For those of you who just can’t wait and want to order your copy of ‘Tear The Signs Down’ you can head over here to recordstore.co.uk and get your pre-order in now! The first 200 copies are going to be signed by us, that’ll be a pretty schmancy thing to have plopping onto your doormat!!

So we’ll be seeing you all very soon!!

Promise there’ll be much more posting on this fine website over the next of forever!
