Great Expectations
It seems like only yesterday that we were all sat in the Old Elm Tree on New Years Eve, making resolutions we had at least some hope of keeping, but where has the year gone? The last 3 months seem to have slipped through my fingers. Even as I write this now I am lying in my sick bed, in awe of the fact that it is already April. Fucking April?!?!
Well we’re not getting any younger and it’s nearly time for my tablets, so I better get to the part where I describe our “movements” for the next few months….
Big news is the Album is out! That’s right you can now get your hands on our debut full length offering from Waterslide Records (JPN), we’re very excited and chuffed to have the album out and also to be working with friends again. I guess that’s what its all about at the end of the day. We will have a small stock of these imports available at gigs from May, but they will be limited so you know what to do….
….OK, so I told a little white lie, because actually we did do something at the start of the year. We had a drink around Lloyd’s kitchen table and filmed it, the evidence can be viewed below We did make another video the morning after which has a bit more cinematic value, it should be online by the end of the month. Coincidently that will be around the same time that the album comes out on Vinyl!
Available 5th May on vinyl from Everything Sucks Music (UK) and Dead Broke Rekerds (USA), once again we are very happy to be working with friends. It must be based on our charm because we never had the talent and our looks have sadly let us down these last few years. Well its all kicking off in May for the album and we’ll also be hitting the road. Yes we don’t get let out much, but we thought since our old pals Iron Chic were coming over we’d make an exception. Dates are as follows, unfortunately we have had to cancel this Saturday in Cambridge. Boooo!

So its probably a good time to mention plans for later in the year. Once again we are honoured to have been asked to play Fest13, our pilgrimage may be short this year, but hopefully we can cram a few gigs in while we’re over.
OK that’s it for now, Its time for my sponge bath.
Next gig is at the Green Room stage for Stockton Calling
