Achtung Glass!

MGMT release 'Congratulations' on 12th April. In the meantime, the album can be streamed from HERE

Its produced by Pete Kember (Sonic Boom/Spacemen 3) and we are all in agreement that it is awesome. Nine songs long and very different from their first record, much less obvious single wise...they'll probably end up getting dropped or something

Think the streaming comes down in 12 hours time so go listen now

Positive Thinking...

Send me through the air with a sawn off shotgun, i wont have the chance to complain, nothing's gonna happen, please don't worry sit back enjoy the decay, laying on the floor again whispering, saying i should take all of the blame, i'm sorry for being so negative, but there is no good in me, i'll go along with you, i hope to god it's true, push me off the edge i wont try to stop you, i'm already leaning that way, hopefully the concrete will swallow me, i dont want to just break my neck, rolling on the carpet whistling, screaming theres nothing left i can take, i'm happy, really, ideal, but i'm disintergrating into thin air, thank her then shut it out, thank her then shut her out, i'm ok, i'm ok, i think.

Sunday Morning

We wrote a song last night which apparently sounds Velvet Underground-esque..nice...its a shame we dont come from New York, instead we have to walk around with the tag that we are from Reading, not the one in Pennsylvania, the one which sits alongside the M4.

We are all eagerly anticipating the new album from The National released 11th May.

Last week they played the first track on the album live on the Jimmy Fallon show...
And it is amazing:



Enjoy

Positive Thinking

We need to work out exactly what we are doing with them, what we do all agree on thus far is that we should release something soon.

Anyone who is/has played in a 'band' will understand this..No.1 rule of being in a band....don't tell anyone. It will only bring you grief and embarrasment. No. Im not going to be 'rich and famous'...or 'play on top of the pops'...or do i care about your friend's band who are influenced by Kings of Leon and Red Hot Chilli Peppers and who have just signed 'A Record Deal'......

Love from the shameful motherfuckers who also have a 'myspace' and a 'facebook' and a 'twitter' and now a 'blog'

London

10/03/10 - Hoxton Bar and Grill

After driving over 1000 miles so far this week, tonight was the last gig supporting The Kissaway Trail :(
we made some new friends along the way though
Kurran and the Wolfnotes
The Kissaway Trail

Thanks to TKT it was a sold-out show tonight and the most enjoyable gig of the tour.
We also found out that we look Scandinavian apparently (sorry to the Danish and Norwegian people who tried to speak to us and got only bewildered faces in return)



On saturday we play Start the Bus in Bristol
yay

Birmingham

09/03/10 - today we played the O2 academy 3. when we arrived we found ourselves face to face with probably about 400000000000000000+ kids in black hoodies. turns out they'd been queuing since 3pm to see YouMeAtSix.

eager beavers.

we also met some friendly faces in Birmingham including a whole bunch of people who came to see us (thankyou!) and also a genuinely nice ticket tout (HATEHATEHATE)







also, listen to 'Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space'

bye

Newcastle

Sunday bloody Sunday...

The highlights from our LONG journey...









we also stopped at 'Truckers Haven' which was nice. It was like this;

Supplies

We are driving to Glasgow tomorrow... a seven hour drive, so have deliberately been holding back stories to tell each other for the journey

Today we've been in Bristol re-stringing guitars and buying food. For anyone thinking about buying a Fender Jaguar...buy a mustang, the jaguar is a nightmare: i have to use nail varnish to glue the bridge in place..rubbish

Sam would like to show the world this..



He has a gun fascination and plays computer games..

Ending the drought

Hello.

We have decided to use this site to write down our thoughts, a new home so to speak. Myspace is a tundra, and not a very nice place to be, this place feels alot warmer..comforting..like speaking to a brick wall

After 4 months of not playing any gigs we are playing 5 next week. We will be supporting the Kissaway Trail on their UK dates, and after 4 months of abstinence, these dates feel like a world arena tour. Suddenly we have to worry about guitar strings, having somewhere to stay and oil


7th March - King Tuts, Glasgow
8th March - Cluny, Newcastle
9th March - Academy 3, Birmingham
10th March - Hoxton Bar & Grill, London

13th March - Start the Bus, Bristol (Headline)

We will try our best to keep this updated, even if it is just posting up youtube videos of psychopaths or Danny Dyer
