Hello everybody!

What’s goin’ on? Did you have fun at the VENUE NAME show the other night? I know for a fact that the eight of us DID/HATED IT AND WANTED TO DIE. We thought the show was GREAT/HELL! If you liked it, I hope I’ll get to see you at the NEXT GIG VENUE.

Anyway, I thought I’d let you know that we have just uploaded a short film for your viewing pleasure. If your bandwidth ain’t capped, I suggest you give it a watch.

Oh-- I almost forgot! The Thod has decided to award prizes to viewers of our lovely video upon completion of various tasks. The prizes and tasks are as follows:

1x autographed copy of The Beige E.P for the person with the best definition of the word ‘steezin’ (as uttered in the first clip by Sam Batty.)

1x autographed copy of Heaps Peace for the first person to name the song Ranga is dancing to.

1x plastic bag filled with old set-lists, tambourine shards and broken strings (future collectors’ item) for whoever can make up the best back-story for the condemned watermelon.

Anyway, we shall be fashioning videos like this more often in the future, and I thus implore you to come to gigs and try and get ya steezin’ face in a youtube clip. Or if you’re from somewhere far, far away, you can just watch the clip, answer questions and win fabulous prizes that will probably just remain in our bandroom forever.

Love,

Dan Carraway and The Thod.

Hi James,


**D*** from The **** here.


I spoke to you on Wednesday about the Artist Interview for the ***E** webpage.


I've got some bad news.


As the content from the ***E** webpage is currated by the Government, they do a little homework on the webpages that they are going to create links to.  At the sight of the 'Thod on Australia Day' poster featuring images from the Cronulla riots,
they decided to cease the interview for political reasons.  I know it seems over-zealous, but they are the Government and I can actually understand them not wanting to be seen as supporting and promoting anyone who is perpetuating the use of these images and their inferred message.



If you want to call and have a chat about it - no dramas, but at the moment they are pursuing another band for the interview opportunity.


I'm really disappointed that this has occurred - but this does not change the fact that out of the 300 bands that performed in the ***E** **** **A** Band Comp 2008-09, The Thod rates very highly as one of the most intriguing, interesting and creative bands that I witnessed perform.


I will source another interview opportunity for you within the next few months - I guarantee.


Again - please call if you wish to discuss.
