long time no speak
No one blogs anymore. I just do this on here because its easier to edit than on those facebook update things. Not that anyone reads either of those things. I'll try and keep it short.
October- we went on tour. Sadly due to various reasons (out of our hands) we had to cancel half the fucking tour so it ended up being like 3 dates or something. However brighton, chichester and Kingston all treated us very well. We met some awesome people and played with some awesome bands. Other than that we did nothing but work and get drunk.
November- We just got back from recording our mini album on friday. We Spent the whole week working at serafina studios in the small town of Eastbourne with the lovely Nick Kinnish. I won't bore you with a studio diary cause without pictures those things are shit. We didn't do much besides track our instruments really fast so we could go back on the internet and play farmville. We stayed with a lovely family who looked after us so nicely and everyone there were so welcoming and treated us like we weren't dicks. Anywho, we're getting the masters back to us on monday and I CAN'T WAIT. I have one song on my laptop for various reasons and i just want to send it to everyone but i can't. This week we'll be sorting out the release date, artwork and touring details for the record. I can't tell you much more right now than the mini album is going to be 7 songs long. I can't even tell you the name of it. cause we don't know it ourselves yet.
NEXT UP- in like 2 weeks we're getting t-shirts, i'm sure if you're interested enough to read this you would have seen the t-shirt design. They're limited to 25 and believe me, it looks like they've already sold out but not officially so y'all just gonna have to be quick now! Then in like 3 weeks time we're off on tour with Battle For Paris again. More on that soon!
anywho.... here's a little promo video we made for our latest single. Keep an eye out on MTV for it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp9Gm-aRe5A

A few things happened in September...
September was a really quiet month for us really. We were meant to be on tour with Easy Hips but for various reasons it didn't happen.
We did however manage to fit in a couple of gigs in september , the first being Offset. Our set as such wasn't great but we met easy hips and tonnes of other great bands. Offset was an awesome weekend but i think we could have enjoyed it more had we not had such a long weekend.
It started on Friday afternoon, we're driving down to brighton to play the freebutt w/ Easy Hips as a warm up for offset. We were grabbing a lift from the singer of Betty Pariso ,Mazz Gambardella, however 10 minutes after leaving my house, still in Winchester, we manage to (not our fault) crash into the car infront of us leaving mazz's car looking like this: http://i34.tinypic.com/10pzy85.jpg
Anyway my dad gives us a lift to offset,we play and get very drunk all day and i pretended to be from the futureheads to get some free beer ( i don't they believed me but i guess it was just to get rid of me) Sunday was awful, the bands on that day were the ones i actually wanted to see but i managed to catch some sort of death cold (turned out to be swine flu) so i spent most of the day (and the next 7 days after that) wanting to die.
The other gig we managed to play was just eventful. 21st September i wake up and theres a text from my mate who's new clubnight started that night and he didn't have any bands so he asked if we could play. "well, i might as well, help a mate out" i thought to myself. I wish i hadn't. We got there, the PA was appauling ( we ended up doing our set instrumental). So we set up in our corner there were definitely people there, but there was A) no where for them to stand and watch the bands (theres a wall that divides the room into bar/"music venue") and B) they were not interested in seeing music. The owner complained twice about the noise during our set we then went on to be stroppy teenagers and got very shitty about the venue, owner and the people that were there. So we got banned. SO BASICALLY NO ONE EVER, EVER GO TO THE MIKIKI LOUNGE!
So in our time off since then we've managed to: finish writing the mini-album, Tom passed his driving test, I got a job (tom's on his way too), started sorting t-shirts for december tour, started writing for the BFP split. More on all this soon...
Right it's october now, we've got some siiiiiiiiiiiiick gigs this month, here they are (can we call it a tour?!):
see you there yeah?!

whats happening 26/09
Hi guys,
this week has been an emotional one for us, all our friends have left us for university and we're sitting at home doing shit all looking like idiots. We're desperately trying to save so we can record our mini album in November. Despite both being unemployed we will, thanks to the government and various temping jobs, manage to get the money (so Nick, if you're reading this... don't worry). We're going into the studio with Nick Kinnish @ Serafina Studios and we're so pleased to be able to go to such an awesome studio with an awesome producer who's worked with some awesome bands (Architects, blakfish, colour, youves, Data select Party) so we'll know it'll at least sound good sonically!
Speaking of DSP, they announced they broke up the other day. Majorly sad about that, that band has sound tracked my summer since i was in year 10.
But yeah, in other us-related news we've got an averagely busy October. Next week we're putting the finishing touches (and by that i mean i actually start learning them) to 3 new songs for the mini album. We shall then be demoing them the week after, we're also going to be recording a very special cover which should be featured on the Holy Roar Xmas Tape. We should also be having our first(of many) naked photo shoot. More details on how you can get your grubby mitts on those pictures ASAP! we SHOULD then be going on tour but I'm not sure how likely that is at the moment. we'll see how it goes.
also if you can't possibly wait to hear the mini-album we're releasing a split EP with the lovely Battle For Paris in December. This'll also be on sale on our tour in December. It'll be limited to 50 copies all handmade by yours truly, all exclusive tracks, and super cheap so make sure you get yourself one when its out!
riiiiiiiiiight, i have cramps in my hand from typing so much.
shall update you lot soon on whats going with us.
