...and it was top notch! Our thanks to those splendid people who came down to celebrate our imminent demise as a ramshackle duo! Much fun was had by all (except for the Emo morons, but I shall expatiate on that subject in a bit). Yes, the crowd was phenomenal. Shoes off if you love the Word! And yes! We felt the love as we witnessed the mob holding their footwear aloft. Marvelous. This was all that is great about electro DIY punk rock (to pigeonhole us). Thanks to all involved.

Indeed Oh My Word! and there recent album have received a fabulous write up in todays Sheffield Star by the legendary David Dunn, go buy one and take a gander! One of many great quotes:

Oh My Word! are born out of Sheffield's occasional appetite for trashing convention with shambolic yet somehow well orchestrated sonic carnage."

Yes seriee, its a doosey. Unfortunately it does mention we are playing at the Grapes tomorrow night which is no longer true, sorry to anyone who was planning to come along :(. However we will be returning to the stage at Mentholmans @ West Street Live on Tuesday 16th June for some of that aforementioned "well orchestrated sonic carnage"

Cheers Mr Dunn!
OMW! love you all

There's a lyric on our forthcoming album that makes the following assertion:
"When you book Oh My Word to do a gig

You'd better make sure you've got the correct equipment
And a sound engineer
Or we're not gonna do it
And we demand compensation!"

Those lyrics were written with reference to our debacle of a "gig" at the Tube last year. There is a blog entry about that night if you wish to learn more.

Last night we added another one to the list: you must have SOME idea of how to put a gig on!

Yes, last night's gig at the Tunnel Bar did not occur. Let me summarise the reasons why:

* SIX ACTS WERE BOOKED TO PLAY! SIX!!!
* THE FIRST BAND WAS MEANT TO START AT 8PM, BUT THE PROMOTER DECIDED TO PUT THE TIMINGS BACK AN HOUR!!
* THERE WERE MANY DELAYS THROUGHOUT

So, as time went on...and on and on, OJ and Sleeves made the decision to sack the gig off. No way were we gonna go on at midnight on a Wednesday! Crazy scenario.

Oh My Word! had gone to the effort of getting to the soundcheck on time, with lovely new leads and stuff, yet the soundman didn't have a clue!

"An IPod? What's that for?" said he! Er, it's the OMW vibes man!

OJ always makes a point of telling soundmen how our (quite simple) sound should be:
"The Ipod needs to be loudest 'cos it's the fulcrum around which the sound revolves".
Yet the dude yesterday, when soundchecking us, kept turning the guitar up real loud as if I were in a metal act or summat!

Three words describe last night:

FUCKING
USELESS
ORGANISATION

And we missed Coronation Street for it.

Sleeves? Whaddya reckon?

OK! Good evening fans and friends of Oh My Word!

Recently, an incident has occurred that has displeased OJ and Sleeves. We have been impugned by a so called gig promoter for our stance towards gigs with exorbitant door tariffs. To illustrate the scenario of recent days, we will quote the original correspondence, offering explanatory commentary along the way.

So it started on the 4th October, when we received the following message:

"hey chaps, you interested in a gig at hubs, hallam uni on tue 14th Oct...its expenses and good beer rider...let me know and i will give you more info...cheers o."

So, a gig offer - and in principle, it sounds fine doesn't it? The boys of the Word discussed this 'twixt themselves, and decided to find out more. Thus, the same day, we replied:

"Hey, sounds good. We can do that, so yeah, more info'd be ace. Ta."

Certainly not an unequivocal affirmative - more of a "yes" in principle, with a request for further information. This is perfectly reasonable, given the information we had at our disposal.

We received this reply (some parts deleted to protect identities)

"cool, its being promoted by a mate of mine XXXXXX who is starting a label called XXXXX records...its gonna be a regular live night if all goes well...he's promoting it quite well and has a launch party at XXXXX this thur, am meeting him tomora to discuss it more ...will let you know more re get in times and all that soon..."

Again, no real info about the night itself. We were becoming concerned at this point. It all seemed like a rather shady operation. Why couldn't this dude operate a promo policy of glasnost, so to speak? Most peculiar!

The next thing we knew, a flyer had been posted onto our myspace advertising the event, with it clearly stating that it was FIVE POUNDS ENTRY!!! WTF?!! No-one told us this! Unbelievable! Of course, this is unreasonable for 4 local bands on a Tuesday evening. We therefore sent the following message:

"Eyup. Just seen the flyer for the event - we didn't realise it'd cost that much to get in - we presumed it'd be free entry. I'm afraid we're gonna have to pull out of this one, 'cos we don't believe in charging people too much if we can help it.
Sorry!"

Fair enough really! If they'd have told us the full details in the first place, then this would not have ever happened. Anyway, we thought the matter was over, until a snide remark on a bulletin sent out by the so-called promoter. Here is what it said:

"Any one up for a last min gig at The Hubs Hallam Uni tonight .....a bands pulled out cos their 2 mates wont pay £4 to go see them and 3 other great bands ...
You will be on with Tarka DAwn...Butter Brain and Steve Robeatnik...You get a crate beer ...expenses and if its rammed a bit of dough..."

DISSIN' US!!! It was A FIVER anyway, not £4. The concession was only for students. Not all our fans are students. Anyway, the point is - "their 2 mates wont [sic] pay". Ha! Numbskulls! Why make snide remarks like that? What a fool! What a damned fool!

Here follows a snippet of the OMW Belief System:

Oh My Word do not like charging people stupid sums of money to get involved in what is meant to be about FUN and HAVING A LAUGH! We see no reason to justify five pounds for local bands. This is why we make sure the majority of our gigs are free entry or at most £3. For some gigs, a small charge is a necessity in order to cover costs (soundman, etc). Any surplus is then shared equally amongst all acts. We reckon that's fair.

Anyway, we replied to that petulant nonsense with this:

"That would be us and our "2 mates" then!
We have, on numerous occasions, easily made back money on paid gigs (none priced over £3 entry).
We're not bothered about what we get in terms of finances or beer. We neved said we'd do it anyway - we just asked for more info!
No need to diss or make snide comments!"

Anyway, guess what the idiot promoter then went on to say. This:

"So if the plug asked you to do a gig and it was gonna be a tenner to get in and there was ganns be a decent crowd to see you ...then you would say no....well think that one thru...I was trying to help you guys and you fucked me off....i will say what i like mate......."

Oh My Word! What a bunch of rotters! Why be so rotten? We think that attitude stinks! It's a horrid attitude, and needs to stop. We ended the exchange with the following riposte:

"The scenario you propose is quite different to your do at the Hubs. However the answer would still be no, in fact we WERE offered a gig at the Plug and did turn it down due to the price they wanted to charge for tickets. Regardless of whether you can guarantee a a decent crowd or not we don't like to charge more than £3 for a gig unless it's justified, a week day did with 3 other local bands does not justify £4/5 a head in our book. Apologies if that upsets you, but if you'd let us know before you'd slapped our name on the flyer you wouldn't have been in the situation you found yourself in.

I really do hope the night went well for you regardless. I'm not sure who I'm addressing here, I sincerely hope it's not XXXXXX, because if it is I'd have to say I've lost a lot of respect for him/you. I used to think he was a nice guy, but this sort of rude behavior will change a guys opinion. Thanks for your offer of 'Help', however we will not be requiring any more from you in the future, if this will be the sort of attitude we'll should expect to receive.

Yours disappointed
OJ & Sleeves
OMW! "

So there you go! A bit of needling at OMW HQ.

We think our belief system is right, and we dealt with it just spot on! We're punk rockers!!!

PUNK ROCKERS!!!

We love the loyal Word faithful, and will not rip 'em off, alright? Am punk! Oi oi!

WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

HOPE TO SEE YOU ROLL UP AT OUR DISCO EXTRAVAGANZA GIG AT THE GRAPES ON SATURDAY, FOR WHICH YOU MUST PAY £3 ENTRY - GOTTA BE DONE THOUGH, OR OMW WOULD LOSE LOADSAMONEY!!!

VALUE THOUGH! QUID A BAND AND GREAT FUN!

IT'S LARA DISCO'S BIRTHDAY!

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2371089211

Let us not forget this braindead moron:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=szXWdS-o4JU

is in the appallingly average, nay below par band The Hanging Men:

http://uk.youtube.com/user/Richardchisem050979

This band deserves to be shot, in fact OMW! will be doing so after our tea. By morning these hanging men shall be hanging limp and lifeless from  the battlements of OMW Castle!

Yours Sleeves
OMW!

Yo!

OMW here for the first time in quite some time. We felt the need to write a blog. I'll tell you why in a moment. For now, just enjoy my words. You've missed them, and they've missed you - believe me.

Since you ask, yes, we're fine ta. Thanks for asking. We hope you're not too bad too.

First of all (before I recite the real reason for this blog) - shout out to some people who we give respect to:

JARED - great man. Done more for Sheffield music than any other promoter we can think of. A great promoter and a great mate of OMW. Cheers Jared. We truly appreciate everything you do, and will do. GIVE IT UP FOR JARED YA FUCKERS!

TUFTY - another bloke doing great things for Sheffo music. OJ's other band (The Elite Movement) practice in his rave cave, and he has the best customer service OJ has ever known. Yellow Arse - fuck you, you idiots. Cheers Tufty.

JEN TIDMAN - doing loads for Sheffield gig goers, and thoroughly lovely lass. Nice one Jen. You've done some ace things, and you're a top bird. Nice one.

DE FACTO MUSE ANDREW LEE MORLEY - 'nuff said man! He's our Muse!

THE MINSTREL OF DESIRE ROB WARD - without this man, OMW would not exist!

LARA DISCO - founder of MOBILE CLUBBING - TOMORROW IS THE NEXT EVENT - meet at 12pm upstairs in Wetherspoons. Be there. Dance in the Peace Gardens with your MP3 player bustin' out choonz man!

(it looks as though we're namechecking an entity called NEXT EVENT - we're not)

IAN BRITT - a former NHSBT dude (and future part-time NHSBT dude). One of Sheffield's finest talents. Go to some of his gigs. He's awesome, and a thoroughly top bloke. Nice one, Britt. Last seen (by OJ) in Bungalows and Bears as OJ was staggering down the road.

KEEF TANGO - He is making the first OMW video - watch this space.

LUCY WOODROFFE - always! x

Anyway, there's loads of people we wanna give our love to, but we're listening to Interpol right now and the opening notes of Roland is filling me with negativity.So...

Check out our YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/sleeeeves
Look at the comments for the following vids:
* 190 MPH Shock
* World Tour Diary Part 3
* Adventures In Bognor

You will see that some IDIOTS have been dissin' us!!!!

These - http://www.youtube.com/user/Richardchisem050979

Yes - some jokers in a band called The Hanging Men. Apparently, they are a Sheffield band, although no-one I know has ever heard of them. They are idiots.

They have their own YouTube. Check it out - they are truly awful!!!

http://www.youtube.com/user/Richardchisem050979

They dare to impugn the might of the Word, yet they are SHOCKING!

Right, this is what it's all about.

http://www.youtube.com/user/Richardchisem050979

They are clearly a bunch of chavs in some mid-90s style lad rock band. Not even a good mid-90s style lad rock band!!! Please - if you love the Word, check these goons out.

http://www.youtube.com/user/Richardchisem050979

They seriously think OMW is shocking?! Ha! What? No-one I know has ever seen these gadflies play a gig. Do they only ever practice?! Just so they can put videos on YouTube so all their mates can be impressed? (or pretend to be!)

Sleeves told me this morning (yes, this is OJ writing on behalf of the two of us). that this band was excoriating the name of OMW! I was amused, but when I actually looked at the comments and checked out their videos, I was actually WAZZIN' MESEN WIV LAFFTA!!!

These people are BRAINDEAD MORONS!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szXWdS-o4JU

Anyway, I've done some research on them, and this is what I've found:

They are a bunch of early 30s posh kids.

Their parents essentially bankroll their lives.

Yeah - that last point is true. They can't fend for themselves. Fucking hell! Their rich muthas 'n' fathas give 'em dosh so they can afford their practice room and their digital camcorder to film them in said practice room. WHAT IDIOTS!!!

They act like chavs.

The bloke in the white shirt has been frozen in carbonite since 1997 and has not yet realised that he is not in Cast.

Seriously - check 'em out:

http://www.youtube.com/user/Richardchisem050979

They should not be approached.

They will be approached by OJ. He will laugh at them.This will anger them. They will throw a punch, but OJ will block it and defenestrate them (of course, this encounter will be upstairs somewhere - 'twill  be engineered so!).

SO AS AN OMW GANGSTER - WE ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR US:

Go to their YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/user/Richardchisem050979

And tell them what naughty mesters they are!!!

Of course, we may be giving them the oxygen of publicity by referring to their YouTube account so much (for which they should be thankful!!!), and indeed, we may have introduced you to your new favourite band, and moreover, we may be boradening your musical horizons by opening up a brand new world of chavtastic, bankrolling parent-tastic tripe. If so, it's OK - we've done our good (ahem) deed for the day.

However, we doubt that any of the above will be correct (and if it is, then, you are no longer an Oh My Word! fan).

ANYWAY - GO TO THEIR YOUTUBE

http://www.youtube.com/user/Richardchisem050979

DISS THESE MOFOS.

TELL THEM THAT THEY IS DIX!!!

THERE IS NEVER NO NEED TO BE SO FIKK!!!

THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOOD PEOPLE!!!

ANYWAY,

OJ and Sleeves LOVE YOU ALL!!

We genuinely appreciate your ADORATION of us. It's good to be back!

GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!

Cheers you lot.

Hello Word Gang! Hello everyone!

This is a special blog entry by popular demand (well, demanded by the OMW Cultural Attache for the USA, the superb Lucy H. Woodroffe). Well, Lucy - as you couldn't be there to enjoy the fun, I shall expatiate on it here, in my own unique, inimitable style. OK?

Well, we always enjoy playing Know Your Onion gigs, and this time it was a special moment in the year - the birthday gig. Now then, what do many people do to celebrate the anniversary of their nascence? They imbibe obscene amounts of alcohol don't they? Yes they do. Listen y'all, OJ is no exception. Let me explain:

Oh My Word! were onstage last (around 11pm). Given the fact that the dynamic duo arrived at the venue at 6pm, you can only imagine what state the poor lad was in! The harbinger of doom was just before Chris Treebeard took to the stage when OJ found a blackboard in the kitchen. Obsolete drinks offers were scribed 'pon the said blackboard, and OJ decided to give it a go - thrasonically marching to the bar armed with the 'board. 'Pon his request for a 1998 vintage cocktail at a 1998 vintage price being turned down by the bemused bartender, OJ procured a lovely bottle of Shiraz. This was soon gone, and OJ's legendary Uncle bought OJ a large Courvoisier. OJ was happy. Merry happy to be sure!

Now then, what happened next was Bedlam! It was a real Soundclash! Ooooh! Did I mention that OJ and Sleeves had gone to Somerfield at around 6.30? No, I didn't did I? Well, that's put the kibosh on the chronology of this blog. Still, it might lend said blog an air of randomness and a ramshackle vibe (which complements the tale of Monday so absolutely!).

So yeah, OJ purchased a bumper pack of Monster Munch (a variety of flavours) from the reduced section for a paltry 74p! He also bought some budget sausage rolls for less than 64p!

Back to the story (apologies for that last section - it must seem like an irrelvant aside, but it's relevance cannae be denied! Read on motherfuckers!)

So at about 10.45pm, OJ and Sleeves were pumped up on adrenaline, booze and brandy! Eager to play a live rock do, they stormed the stage during Troika's set, and PLANTED the Ironing Board firmly on the stage. Giving a Roman salute to the crowd, the Word got ready! Sleeves VAULTED high into the air as a signal of intent. 'Twas a portentous leap.

11 O'Clock struck, and the Compere, Herbert Demoralised took to the stage to recite some pottery, sorry, poetry, before the OMW RAWK SHOW! OJ was too impatient. He wanted to ROCK!!! 'Twixt each line and stanza, OJ churned out a beautiful chord to complement the poem. Indeed, he even managed to play a chord that hasn't even been invented yet - a J(dim)!!!! Wow! This was gonna be good!

Sleeves grabbed the electronic devices, and manned them manfully! The opening bleeps of "Oh Yeah No" sounded, and OMW was go! OJ was so gleeful that he yelled "MOTHERFUCKERS!" into his microphone. 'Twas not the last time this expletive was heard on this mild September evening).

During the version of The Classless Society Is Finished (Ode to Kevin), OJ decided he couldn't take it anymore. The sheer power of the hour overcame the hapless lad, and he had to refrain from singing. Sleeves to the rescue! He managed to make the beats, play his pricey synthesizer, AND take on lead vocal duties (thus earning him a place in the upcoming Guinness Book of Records! What a legend!).

Anyway, the time came for the anthemic "Synthslug", which OJ started with a renegade style singalong / acoustic variant thereof. The crowd were gazing into the beautiful face of Sleeves, whilst dreaming sordid dreams of OJ. They loved it man! Synthslug began, and midway through, OJ screeched out the immortal line:

"We've got the beats, c'est funky funky / Creeping up on you like an African monkey"

At this point, OJ lost the plot! He STORMED around the venue making REALLY LOUD monkey noises, in a (largely successful attempt) to mimic the aforementioned simian entities! Uproar! A section of the crowd became disgruntled - one bird was heard muttering, "This isn't very professional. You'd never catch the Pet Shop Boys going off like this". Our riposte (had we heard her at the time)? "We ain't no rent shop boyos!" - nah apologise! Apologise fo wha?!!

OJ grabbed the foresaid Monster Munch from behind his amplification unit, excitedly asked, "WHO WANTS SOME MONSTER MUNCH?". Well, the West Street posse were excited, and gratefully gobbled up OJ's kind offer, as he doled them out AS IF HE WERE JESUS CRISP!!!

Anyway, the set proceeded, and essentially it imploded! OJ tried to involve the cadavers in the crowd in a sort of "singalong sing song". He kindly asseverated that "the first, er, request gets, er, played. Whaddya reckon?". No response from the bewildered clientelle. This to OJ seemed very rude - "FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!" screamed the irate OJ. He stormed off the stage and began an extraordinary minesweeping mission - GRABBING drinks from tables and swigging them immediately!

"YEAH!" was the lunatic frontman's valiant cry as he staggered back onstage. "YEAH! YEAH!" (in a way that can only be described as Vodafone's Billy Boy-tastic). "YEAH! YEAH!".

The performance was too much for some, and OJ and Sleeves were told to leave the stage. "MOTHERFUCKERS!" was OJ's riposte, as he invited members of the crowd to join OMW for some fun. There were several takers, and it was so very good. Let's namecheck the stage invaders shall we?

* Daniel Lawless: Brilliant. He was on lead vocals for the renegade performance of Diego. Absolutely awesome.

* Tufty: He manned the mic during the semi-acoustic, beatless version of "Win Or Lose".

* Gabz: This man is a legend. OMW love Gabz! He was last seen CLAMBERING onto OJ's back and screaming into the microphone. This only served to encourage OJ to let rip even more.

He STORMED over to Sleeves' ironing board, and HURLED it to the floor. Of course, due to gravity this meant that the Casio CTK-450 went CRASHING to the ground! OJ stamped 'pon the poor keyboard, before Gabz (The official OMW Chef) SWUNG his arms round in a windmill-tastic act of defiance. The beats were messy, the bassline was pounding out some peculiar aural oddities, and OJ and Gabz collapsed, WAILING into the microphones they had tangled round their necks.

"AAAARGH!!!!"

"AAAARGH!!!!"

"WHOAAA! YEAH!!!! COME ON!!!"

et cetera

Those were the last sounds heard before OJ was DRAGGED from the stage by the powerhouse bouncers. He turned on the smarm though, and talked his way out of a kicking. Indeed, he even befriended one of the bouncers, and they have since formed a pub quiz team!

It's so amazing what these Oh My Word! gigs can turn out like.

The next one is at the Grapes on the 30th September with Cobwebs and the Way of All Flesh.

It won't be like the one I've just described. That was a one off.

But who really knows what the future holds?

Who REALLY knows?

"They've found me! I don't know how, but they've found me?"

"Who, Doc?"

"The Libyans! Run for it, Marty!"

Ah yes, Doc Brown! He knows - www.myspace.com/docbrown

Go and ask him what the next OMW gig will be like eh?

WE STILL LOVE YOU ALL,

AND YOU ALL STILL LOVE US!

YOU ALWAYS WILL!

Love from OJ and Sleeves

Hello OMW gang!

Now then, it's been a pretty decent week for Oh My Word! Let's start with last Saturday shall we? As per usual on the first Saturday of the month, OJ and Sleeves teamed up with Lara Disco and the Lawman for some mobile clubbing action in Sheffield's Gardens of Peace. Well, it was possibly the weakest one hitherto, but were we sad about this? No! "Why not, OJ?", I hear you all yelp. Well I shall telleth thee: because some wench from E4 Music approached us and insisted we go to the Leadmill for the E4 music thing. It was basically like a battle of the bands, where each band played one song (a few times!). We weren't playing, but we saw some great stuff, and to make things better, the following people were there: the LOVELY Jo Whiley, the LOVELY Alex James, the WEAK Calvin Harris, a man called Simon, and Alex Zane (a very pleasant bloke to my dismay!). Not only did we attend, we RUINED an entire take of one of the bands by CHANTING!!! We were on the verge of being thrown out at one point - HAMMERED ON COURVOISIER in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY!!!

Anyway, that was good. Then came Monday. Well, we were due to play at the Riverside Cafe, which, to be honest did not fill us with pleasure. Anyway, they found out our tricks and stuff, and they pulled the gig on the morning of Monday! "This is splendid!", thought OJ to himself, "We can now go and see Green Man Says Go!". But, inspired as ever, OJ had a brainwave - "Ah, Mark Saga is promoting this gig", mused the hyperactive young OJ, "Maybe he'll still put us on". A text message or two later, and 'twas confirmed - Oh My Word! added to an already PHENOMENAL bill, opening proceedings before The Cutch and Green Man Says Go! cut the pace.

Well, the Word boyos played a peculiar set, opening with a singalong rendition of Gary Glitter's "I'm The Leader of the Gang (I Am)", before crashing into a haphazard set of rarities and obscure anthems. The highlights were as follows:

1) The Gary Glitter intro

2) The amazing rendition of our UNRECREATABLE song SYNTHSLUG, featuring, "Garage? I don't care about garage!".

3) The well rehearsed stunts of OJ when he swung round, CRASHED into the microphone stand, his eyes GLAZED WITH MOCK FEAR as the SOLID STEEL STAND CRASHED into his eye socket, DAMAGING several optic nerves as it happens!

4) The jumps of Sleeves, as he GRASPED the air in a STADIUM LO-FI HERO manner.

5) The Joy on the faces of the crowd, as they gobbled up OJ and Sleeves' energy and beauty.

6) The honour of having Green Man Says Go! dedicating a song to "Oh My Gosh (sic)"!!!!

7) The fact that Green Man Says Go! are actually THE GREATEST BAND THAT EVER GRACED SHEFFIELD STAGES!!!

8) Mark Saga's charm and company. Cheers kidda!

9) A bizarre and fleeting appearance from Tufty and the Chief for our final song.

10) Those free bottles of French premium beer.

We've had a great time over the past week. We've got some more gigs booked too, so have a look!

We want to see you all at our BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS on 17th September at West Street Live (8pm). We're playing a super gig as part of Know Your Onion Promotions' BRAND NEW NIGHT - BEDLAM SOUNDCLASH. It's FREE ENTRY!

Love from Oh My Word!
