‘Unsatisfying’ is probably the best way to describe this one, even though it was nice to do something in Birmingham, and for the Lunar Society, too. The gig was transferred from the Hare and Hounds to The Station some months ago because of a double-booking with John Cooper Clarke [which gave me a weird sense […]

Huw emailed in, sick. Nobody believed him, and so he sent us some pictures to prove it. They didn’t look good, as you can see – so we went ahead without him. After the usual London-related car adventures [overheating in the uncivilised traffic] and the usual subsequent rushed soundcheck, we sat down with coffee and […]

We kicked off our little jaunt quite respectably at Islington Mill, despite the fact that no one could find it. After an afternoon practicing in a boomy and rather desolate ex-warehouse, we turned up to the venue to discover that it was erm … not that different to where we’d been practicing. It did have […]

Meanwhile, the preparation for the release of Against Entitlement is almost complete. The 9 songs are currently being mastered at Echolab. Once we have those back, we’re ready to roll. This new record will be released on Little Red Rabbit records (cat. no. LRR014) in October. It will come on 180g vinyl, with a free […]

John, Tom and myself met up in Birmingham this weekend just gone, where we ate too many doughnut-muffin hybrids [douffins? muffnuts?], and worked on some new songs: This is how I cut my own throatLatchSimple and easyTethered not cagedApple and pear Let the marathon CDr burning commence …

We mostly got away with that – although we set a rather frisky pace, which was somewhat at odds with the mood of the evening. Picture a post-rock, Shoreditch-close version of Jazz Club. Nice.
