Jacuzzi Poops

So, our first show with a mandolin player is fast approaching, faster than we'd thought infact, as me and tom will be playing next friday (26th march) in York as a two piece as a last minute addition to a line up.


this will be fun.

recently i posted a picture of tom in fancy dress, to announce his joining of our band.

Here is a picture of him looking how he normally does, on a day to day basis.

the ol' swine flu

graeme here.

my health so far in the year of 2010 has been fucking awful. as most know, im in my final year of uni. so being ill causes major problems. the first ailment of 2010 was cracking my ribs on my ice covered doorsteps. which led to me missing the gig at city screen in york which was annoying. it seemed that after that i was to be ok and could start playing gigs again as i could stand up, and breathe, without it hurting. it turned out that our next two gigs got cancelled which was also annoying. (as im typing this, im listening to four year strongs cover of ironic by alanis morrissette. which in itself is quite ironic... is that a hycoo?) anyway, i digress, ive had the flu over the past week and went to the doctors today, turns out its the ol' swine flu. not serious or anything, but i have been in bed for the past 5 days shivering my balls off. whilst sweating, looking paler than an embalmed michael jackson (insert mental image here).

but from wednesday i think some sense of normality may return to my life. elliot, and our new mandolin player (think his name is tom? not too sure... some ruffian anyway) will be coming to liverpool and we aim to have a 6hour love-in and possibly play some songs, for the first time since CHRISTMAS! the new songs we have give me a firm semi. its a good feeling.

in other band news, im well excited to say that we have our first gig in liverpool. its on the 19th april at bumper on hardman street. its all down to mark murphy from crocodile god for putting us on the bill (which is topped by the accelerators!) so thank you to mark.

in other general news. the brilliant boys in onsind are coming to liverpool on the 3rd april. its at mello mello and should be boss.

also, just because i need to get this off my chest... i saw the lovely bones the other day. its safe to say that my hatred for peter jackson now increases on a film by film basis. the first half hour is brilliant, then the cgi-loving knob spoils it.

thats all from me. i imagine we shall update from the practice rooms at lipa on thursday.

Tonight, is the night, when 2 become three?
