The Alice Marshall Mchugh

I picked up my new guitar on Saturday morning, she's lovely, thanks for asking. It feels like to actually have a nice peice of equipment for once, rather than spending the last minutes leading up to gigs desperatly calling everyone i know in desperate need to borrow a guitar. It does mean I'm skint as a badger though. I'm seemingly on a constant routine of just about affording the things i NEED to do, followed by being really poor to make sure i can afford the next thing. It's rubbish, but i'm pretty certain im not the only person in this situation.
I'm hovering between booking my train and bus tickets for our december tour ASAP to make sure they remain cheap (and that's a relative word) as possible, or holding out for the fact that we still might just find someway to do it in a car. I'd be more depressed at the price of public transport if i wasn't so excited about our little trip. I suppose calling it a 'tour' is slightly grand anyway, it's gonna be 4 dates over 4 days, more of a long weekend if anything. But i don't care, that's 4 days where all i've got to think about is playing songs, meeting new people, seeing good bands and partying in the new old fashioned way.
This probaly isn't the most exciting blog you've ever read, and for that I apologise. But i realised that this site hadn't been updated since before we even recorded the EP - which is online now, download it for free at archive.org/details/ThatsASpareDave - so i thought i should endevour to keep it fresh.
We're playing 1in12 club in Bradford again on Saturday, this is good news, because it's an awesome place and is full of awesome people.
Big loves

P.S - i recently came across a band called 'As We Sink'. They are from the southern side of our little island. They are also massivly brilliant. You can hear three songs online at www.myspace.com/aswesinkwescream. I think you should definatly take that opportunity.

P.P.S - I havn't seen Graeme since our last gig in Bradford, which was like 3 weeks ago. That is rubbish, on both a band and friend level. I place a hex on for University giving him so much work to do, the educational system in Liverpool is blatently not a d.l.p.f.y fan. BOOOOO.
