P.S Gig News coming up!...

I reckon Accio Wrock was the whole point that me and Hol started up SSDG. I mean, to hang with such lovely people who, as a bonus, seem to like our music, don't get no better than that!

It was ace to meet up with Jess and Lauren and Amy and to stare in awe and Knockturn's beard and hear Riddle again and hear Luna Wants A Long Bottom for the first time.

It was also pretty darn ace to not make fools of ourselves onstage. I'm ever so proud know Holly and make music with her. She's aces isn't she!

So if that is our final gig, then I can't think of a better way to end it!

Lots of love wizards and witches and muggles and squibs!

Under-Appreciated Song of the Week

We had a lovely time in London last weekend, queueing our arses off at Borders on Oxford Street.

We gave out some Cds, I hope at least someone liked them.

We met some lovely people, including, an actual member of Dumbledores Army! I kid not. From the film I mean. Amazing.

On the news they said that around 2,500,000 million people bought the book in the first 48 hours of release. Which begs the question - what the hell was everyone else doing???!!!???!!!

We are so super psyched about Harry Potter, it's like Christmas except witha tinge of fear, it's like Halloween and Christmas combined. These books are so amazing and have made us talk and read and think and make pop music and I can't believe it's coming to a close. We will be in London tomorrow evening for the midnight release of the book at Waterstones. Come and find us and say hello, we will be giving out copies of our new cd to anyone who is around. Also this is a plea for spoilers. If you have gossip or have glimpses of the book before anyone else please don't post them in bulletins or put them in blogs or post them on our comments page without a big gigantic warning, it's not nice. We are wanting to stay spoiler free until we have the book in our hands and even then we aren't interested in spoiling it for anyone else, so keep it quiet until we can all join in ok? We know you're excited, we're excited too,. I fear I may puke from excitment or lose control of all my bodily functions, but I'll make it, don't you worry. Lots of love SSDG xxx

We in the Shrieking Shack don't really like the films. They are rubbish really. Well, Azkaban was ok. I guess.

But Order of the Phoenix is AMAZING! It's proper hardcore. Its like the director really gets it and while he may have left out some bits that he really shouldn't (like Neville visiting his parents is St Mungo's and Petunia's Howler) what is in there is great.

I love Luna and Nigel Creevey and Tonks and even the Weasley twins were much better. Umbridge was awesome, super evil. Snape was perfect. And Lucius. Gawd - its great!

Shame that Hermione only acts with her eyebrows, but its still the Potter film I've been waiting for. A film to be proud of!

YIPEEEE!
