...last night I'm re-posting Surround for your aural delectation and for you to download! I'm not even asking an email for it, but we would be awfully pleased if you'd pop yours into the red box on the right if you enjoy it.
Thank you to all of you who came and enjoyed our set at the IndigO2 last night, it was a total blast and we had the best fun. But hey! Guess what! We're playing again this coming Monday the 1st of November at The Star in Guildford at our monthly BLINDIE night along with Films Of Colour and This Boy. It's only £3 which is a less than the price of a pint! Join the BLINDIE FACEBOOK EVENT for all the details :-)
Oh and I'm also playing a solo set at Fahrenheit 55 for my good friend, GU2 Radio DJ and all round legend Andy Vale. Why not come down and join the fun? It's FREE!
Tuesday night saw us play at the IndigO2 within the O2 Arena complex which turned out to be so many shades of awesome. We were joined on drums by our friend Toby Couling who plays for this year's Mercury Prize winner Speech Debelle as well as our buddies 8Fold who I mentioned in another post a little while back. It was an honour to play with him and as a result there's a very good possibility we'll be recording our EP in December at 8Fold's "The Fold" studio with him on sticks duties yet again...ooh I get all warm and fuzzy at the very thought of it, haha!
So yeah we had a wicked night and rinsed the free-ness at the VIP bar (that's right VIP bar, bitches!) and the catering in our dressing room (yeah, CATERING and DRESSING ROOM) for all they were worth. We played a good'un and got proper pissed basically...rock and mother-loving roll. Don't worry though readers, we haven't got ideas above our station or owt; just a nice one-off, innit? Still, makes me think of back in the day when I first played a gig back at home in Fibbers...the Article boys and I thought we'd really made it...crammed into the broom cupboard they call a dressing room and stealing warm beer from the headliner's rider 'cause we were under age. Happy, care-free days :-) I hope I'll be back there in due course but Tuesday night was some super-mega next level shit and something I think we could all-too-easily get used to given half a chance...but fuck it, it's not really REAL is it? It was just a night of living the myth.
Also, on Monday night, Ben and I caught up with Marcus from Airship in Southampton at the Editors gig. We know sooo many legendary people in music - I feel well lucky...makes it easier to tolerate the dickheads we've come across. Anyway that gig was ace. Not sure how I feel about Editors new material though.
Listening to the new JoFo album, Grace and the Bigger Picture...you know what I'm gonna say about it :-)
Until next time... I love you...just the way you are,
