Dear all,

We've received a lot of requests for one last gig since the announcement of our split and our last gig were so close together. We have been offfered a spot at Swindon's The Shuffle Festival which is annual celebration of music and decided that we couldn't refuse this last chance to play.

THIS WILL BE OUR LAST GIG so please, if you can make it, do. The entrance fee is £6 but there will be other bands playing all evening and we shall be hanging around afterwards to drink and be merry should you wish to join our musical wake with us.

Again, all the best to everyone we've ever met doing this and thanks to all who have supported us.

Hopefully see you at the bar on the 8th.

Nick, Dan, Sam and Doug

Current mood:Ambivalent

Dear all our fans

 

After 6 months of soul searching and life evaluation we have decided to put the band to rest. We have been a band for nearly 10 years under various guises and the time has come where we have all realised we are not where we want to be after this amount of time doing it.

 

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all our fans who have supported us, who have come to our gigs, bought our CDs and given us chances to play and progress. Without you we wouldn't have lasted as long as we have.

 

We've made many friends along the way who we've no doubt will keep in touch with and we’re sure you know who you are. For all the parties, drunken nights out and uncouth shenanigans we salute you. We've got the stories and memories to share with our current and future families so thank you all for being a part of our lives.

 

So long, farewell…

 

Nick, Dan, Sam & Doug

John needs an idea of numbers, of course, so you need drop a quick mail to tickets@moonfest.com to let them know you are coming.

So no excuses, get yer feckin arse to a field just outside Westbury next Saturday afternoon (29th) and we'll all have a beer or many.

It's in a huge marquee at Storridge Farm - post code is BA13 4HY. oh, and don't forget to put your face on cos the whole things is going out on Sky's Rock TV.

So Moonfest got cancelled, thanks to The man (see here) and (here) but on Saturday 30th august (this weekend) the organisers and a bunch of the bands booked to play are throwing a invite-only free bash at the site in Westbury.

Organisers have said they expect about 1000 people to turn up and it's all being filmed for sky's Rock World.

Line up is:
2.00Pm The Fookarwees

3.30Pm Old School Tie

5.00Pm Soul Jacker

6.30Pm Zenyth

8.00Pm Decora

9.30Pm JetKing

11.00Pm 4th Street Traffic


apparently: "Justin Hawkins is trying to re arrange his schedule to come and do a set also. He will either guest with 4th Street Traffic or do a full set with his absolutely brilliant new band Hotleg. If Hotleg are available then plan for set lengths of about 50 minutes so we can get an extra slot in."

An hour set. holy fuck, better get working out : ) expect some classics! anyway email us at sam@decoraonline.co.uk if you want an invitation which you will need to get in. It's free but they've got to keep control of the numbers.

Anyway, it should be a awesome night, see you there.

yarp. so it's day three sportsfans and we've (almost) got all the parts down which leaves 2 days for having fun/getting, bored depending at how you look at it. in between working our motherloving heinies into the ground we've managed to sully mike's laptop with scat porn, shoot some video which might get edited at some point and discovered the fantastic idea of giant phallic percussion shaker.... why the hell has no one made one??






dan does a frighteningly good version of 'that gay gordon ramsay picture' yeah you know the one!

holla y'all....

We are currently holed up in a big big house in a leafy suburb of stockport putting down three new tunes for you to stuff your ears wit.
it's sounding "hotter than a shit pie," apparently. Anyway we've mr mike vennart from the 'mazin Oceansize on production duties, an engineer who drives a musical milkfloat in his spare time and a studio which has been used by Snoop Dogg in a house which reputedly has dancing ghostly children. So whatever happens, it should be interesting!

Songs should be done by sunday so expect them up here soon.

the studio!

That's right, the LAST EVER Terry's show is to be held THIS FRIDAY and we're only bloody playing it.
This is a real fuckin shame for music in the area, especially when the Mighty Sam Robson has done so much to turn that place into a viable prospect.
Anyway. we'd love you all to be there for what can only be seen as the end of an era. Black arm bands aren't mandatory but singing along certainly is.
Come shed a tear with us, the awesome Sharp End First, Set Phasers To Stun and Floppy hair Oh Yeah.
Doors are at 7.30, tax is a fiver. we are on second at 8.45.

To all those true troopers who made the effort on thursday -you are all legends. Thank you very much. Cheers also to the Mighty Martin and the Perennial Pam for once again doing all the hard work.
And to a certain young lady, We hope the hangover wasn't too chronic! : )
