Hello.

So, an update on the shoes..The ones i ordered still haven't come, but the situation is suprisingly better, im currently using plasters to cover the holes (yes there's another), and just so you know, it's working out for me..

We are currently finishing our final exams of university (albeit one more for Joe next week), soon there we will have no more excuses. Last weekend we played Stag & Dagger festival in Glasgow. The drive was long but we had a fun time. A pattern may be emerging: both times we have played in Glasgow have been sunny days, good venues with nice food and beer, and every single person we have met has been nice...including the skag addict we met on the first occasion. It always feels a long way from home up there, which at the moment is a good thing.

Here are some photos i found of the gig:









This weekend we are playing Dot to Dot festival. If you are going, you can find us in these places, at these times:

Bristol
The Louisiana - 4.15PM

Nottingham
Rescue Rooms - 3.00PM



After that the plan is to play more gigs and start releasing some music, stadium tour/pyrotechnics/Concept Double Album

Hello.

First of all, this week has been a rubbish week. I currently have a hole in the bottom of my shoe, which within 10 minutes of walking necessarily means a hole in my sock..Therefore have been walking around pretty much bare footed on the right hand side...This has been far from ideal on 'rough' terrain as every step feels like a punch to the face..

This week has had very few highlights, i will however share them with you...

Monday - Someone sitting next to me fell off of their chair. The best part wasn't their desperate and unsuccessful attempt to avoid the floor, rather the somewhat calm manoeuvre of picking themselves up from a pile on the floor, sitting back on the chair as if nothing had happened and nobody had noticed..

Tuesday - Finding out that my housemate has FOUR Blue Peter badges. He also went onto the show and got a hug from Konnie Huq...Fuck knows where i was going wrong all those years..

Wednesday - Someone left a carrier bag in the library near me. After a few hours, when i was leaving i had a little look, saw a glimpse of a bag of marshmallows inside so naturally took the bag and left. On further inspection i also found two packets of biscuits and a Subway cookie..

Today - When walking along the pavement a branch from a tree fell (don't ask me how or why) and landed two yards in front of me. That thing landing on my head would have surely been the last straw..


On the positive, i have ordered some new shoes (and they should be on their way) AND we are playing a gig on Saturday (Albeit 400 miles away in Scotland). We will be appearing at Stag & Dagger Festival in Glasgow, at the Captain's Rest venue @ 4.45PM

New Stuffs

Hello
working on a new song

poss titles Sunshine Overdose / Sellotape / Microphonic / Clusterfuck

we shall see............


We've confirmed dot to dot festival at the end of the month (Bristol / Nottingham). This and Stag & Dagger fest cannot come quick enough.........

My favourite video of this week:



Despite it's proud claims of the contrary,Sky News were not impartial throughout the recent election . The Murdoch press were an absolute joke throughout the campaign. The Sun, The Times, Sunday Times, News of the World and SkyNews blantently supported the Tories (some more blantent than others)with the ridiculous level of funding that the Conservatives received being very rarely even mentioned within these press outlets. Adequate in-depth analysis of Tory policy simply didn't exist either...Much of the British public went along with what their papers told them and ultimately Murdoch got what he wanted (albeit not completely, what with the coalition etc)...Murdoch will now enjoy his tax breaks, greater freedom to 'innovate and expand' his empire and will certainly become an even more richer man.

It is now time ladies and gentlemen to dig out your copy of 'Holy Bible' (Manic Street Preachers), sit back and enjoy the decay..

The Future..

Dance to the music

Hello

Tonight we play the Oakford social club in Reading. It's been a while since we've played in our hometown and are *despite absolutely fucking hating the pa we have to use tonight*, happy.

Tomorrow we have the pleasure of watching The National at the Royal Albert Hall. Sorry to go on about them so much, BUT they are miles better than your favourite band. Their new album 'High Violet' is released on 11th May, and can currently be streamed HERE

On friday we are playing our own London show for Club.The.Mammoth at the Stag's Head in Dalston. Apparently theres a new trainline that's opened up going to Dalston. We are playing with William and Islington Boys' Club...you should come..even if only to try out the new trainline.

The soundtrack for the next few days should be THIS

p.s I was going to say something about the election tomorrow, sharing my 3 years of knowledge and insight, i have however decided against it.....the only thing to remember is... don't. be. a. dick.

Listen to March mixtape again...in May

Club.The.Mammoth have posted a track, one of our mixtapes and info about our London gig on friday
