While we're on the subject of playing live you can see some footage of us playing in Glasgow recently as a four piece by becoming a member of the coholic web page.

Our good friends recently placed a video blog on their web site featuring us. For more information go to www.coholic.co.uk and sign up. You will find the footage under the vblog section...

Enjoy

Hey you crazy bastards... I just came across some old live footage of us with our old guitarist Chris playing. It's totally out of tune by the end but i thought i'd throw it up here to let you all see how much we've improved over the last year;)

Enjoy the dancing giant man;)

Hey, just letting you all know that Callum has left the band looking to do other things like movin to the big city and goin to college.

We're all gutted by the situation here but want Callum to be happy. His presence and personality will be missed by the band both on stage and at practice. Just to point out there is no animosity and we'll still be seeing him socially as he's still our good friend and a really great guy. We've come far in the last 6 months since he joined and we'll always be thankful that we had the chance to work with him.

Good luck Cal

And so is a bucket of piss.

We've been hearing silence for too long...a MONTH without a gig has given the impression of a month of no activity, but we'll be right back on 'stage' again within a couple of weeks.

You'd think we've been up to bugger all in the meantime right?

FUCK NO!

We've been recording (as some of you will know if you had the good grace to sign up for the mailing list...)

We've been writing rock-based rock music and are a kick up the arse off having a whole new sets worth of songs in the works right now. Rest assured these are sounding BRAW.

And finally we've been getting photos taken of our handsome dishes which you'll be able to masturbate furiously over any day now! Even the boys!

Take care all and remember...if you can't be good then be proud!

Hey doodz,

We're just swinging by to say that it's now been finalised and, after receiving a lovely 125 ratings and 8  beautiful reviews, we've been advised that we are NOT going to be playing in the initial 'showcase' gigs to give us a chance to get on this awesome sounding tour of the USA and beyond....

Obviously we're pretty fucking gutted at missing out on this, especially as we had more support shown by you guys than most, if not all, of the other bands that have went on to be included in these gigs.


  HOWEVER! We shall remain philosophical in 'defeat'... listening to the chosen bands it seems that the common link between them is that they play the exact kind of music that we started this band to be an f'n antidote to so it isn't all bad on our part!

We're informed by the Britbus bigwigs that all bands will be reconsidered for inclusion at 'a later date' so you can try and change their minds by going to the page for our sorry selves at CLICKY CLICKY! and rating/reviewing us if you ain't already.

Regardless of what you do or how you feel about us being left out of the party keep rocking anyways, you'll keep yer integrity that way ;o)

Over 'n' Out!
