Dear nobody,
Obviously the whole regular blogging thing hasn't been as successful as we'd hoped. After our album 'launch' Christmas was on us pretty quickly, we rushed around doing non-band related things and we chilled where we could. We'd like to thank The Interventions and Everybody be Cool and send our best wishes to The Argument and How it Started and especially to Joel. Get well soon.
We got in the studio a couple of times in Jan (I think), then went back in early Feb as we had a gig with Deer Park on the 23rd Feb. Unfortunately this gig meant us having to turn down a support slot the night before at the Water Rats Theatre with the mighty Let Our Enemies beware and Lafarro. Still we have probably 10-15 embryonic new songs, possibly more...2 of which we honed into (virtually) playable versions for the gig with Deer Park on the 23rd at The Good Ship in Kilburn. In between, on either the 11th or the 18th of Feb we played a rather impromptu gig at The Crown and Treaty in Uxbridge, possibly after one-too-many beers. I believe we played:
Won't forget
Suburb 666
Will to fail
Uptown again
Girlsmakerain
So to the Good Ship 23rd Feb 2010. We had a great night and a fairly good turnout considering it was a Tuesday. Setlist as below, possible live versions of one or two songs will be available as MP3s soon:
Won't forget
Away
Thirty3
Suburb 666
Baby come down
Untitled
Anywhere but here
Uptown again
Last Friday (12th March) we played The Cavendish Arms in Stockwell, it turned out to be a lovely venue complete with home-made guitar amps and burlesque dancers. What more could a band want? The set is below. On the way back to the station, Matthew fell over. For some reason he decided to not use his hands to stop him and used instead...the side of his own face. Greg cried laughing (also on the floor) for about 20 minutes. Comradeship my @rse...
(Freedom - Wham)
Sleepwalking
Ever
Suburb 666
Without warning without reason
Will to fail
Lone Star Junior
Punkabilly
Girlsmakerain
In the pipeline, Matthew plans to remix - Scenery for public and Beauty uber alles, whole band plans to finish writing another 10 to 12 songs to add to 'won't forget'; 'suburb 666' and 'untitled'. Gigs in St Albans, Oxford and Bath to be sorted, set lists continuing to be randomised...and more...so stay tuned. This gets updated occasionally you know.
