ANY SLOW CLUB FANS STILL OUT THERE??? i hope so, its been a while since we updated this old thing and i'm sorry about that.

SO SORRY BERLIN, passport problems ruined our lives. promise we'll come back if you'll still have us. sorry sorry xxx

SO, i am, again, ILL and having to not play in Manchester on the Jamie T tour, and we missed Bristol. Hopefully we'll be in London and all will be forgotten yes?

our album is nearly ready!! we have done all the recording we are just finishing off the artwork. there will be a LP version of the album with different artwork to the CD which should be out around the same time.

we went to paris last week to some songs for la blogotech. we got see beruit in a penthouse apartment off the champs elysees. was pretty special. we could see the eiffel tower and notre daaaim. i almost killed a guy with a beer can from the balcony and had to make a swift exit.

the next day we drove around with a film crew and played the whole of our album in different places outside paris. we had green tea at a truck stop, almond snacks outside a butchers and what vincent moon calls plastic sandwiches at a service station. 

we also played great escape the next day which was one of the best shows we've played in a while. we all partied watching casio kids and the mae shi. we also recorded a live verison on run to your grave with jon and jeff from the mae shi. it should be up sooon!!

i am awake, very late, i am blowing brain cells with spotify. 

In conclusion these things are on my mind;

1. HOMEGAME was the best weekend ever

2. Olo worms are my new favourite band

3. 'Get on the bus' by Destinys child is  AMAZING. get it  NOW..!

Rx

we just came back from the sweetest weekend playing music for agaes. id strongly advise anyone who is able to get to homegame to go. its in anstruther just north of endinburgh kind of. it was a weekend of look alikes.  we met a guy called ruben who played accordian for james yorkston and looked suspicously like a king from lord of the rings but i cant remember the name. and we saw a couple of other less impressive wanna bees. viking moses played on our last night there. i have been describing it as gospel grunge. i am not too sure if that absaloutly accurate but it makes me look like i know what i am talking about. he did a leonard cohen cover at the end which i have in video and will try and post up here. 

also i have heard the wave machines album which is really impressive. the new songs are moving into more crafted songs it feel. you say the stupidest things is first song on the album. it kicks

i also have a copy the heebee jeebies album ep/album thing called death party. its a screen printed cover complete with a nail to hang the cd on your wall and a condom. i guess for you to celebrate. they are from sheffield and are going to try and get them to play with us sometime this year... 

charles 

again sorry for the bad spelling and lack of interesting adjectives and verbs. i like the's and like's

after 4 sessions in sheffield 1 session in london 1 in dublin and i cant even remember how many in glovers bedroom/living room/kitchen our album is finally finished and mastered. we have some old songs some new songs. mostly new recordings depending on how well you know our songs. the album is going to be called YEAH SO and will be released on moshi moshi records on the 6th of july. we will be doing an album tour in sept and many festivals over the summer. we have had an incredible time recording these songs and working with some unreal people. The first single off the album will be IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE BEAUTIFUL/WILD BLUE MILK released on the 22nd june as 7". the tracklisting for the album will be something like this

when i go
giving up on love
i was unconscious, it was a dream
it doesnt have to be beautiful
there is no good way to say i am leaving you
trophy room
because we're dead
dance till the morning light
sorry about the doom
come on youth
apples and pairs
our most brilliant friends


if anyone has a piano in london that they are wanting to get rid of message us!!

SO much has happened.
In a nutshell we went to New York, i got THE best builder comment of my life (it involved me carrying coffee and him shouting that i was 'a hot cup of coffee myself', genius wasted in construction) we played 3 gigs, we got horrible drunk. We saw a cocroach, we partied Mumford style, we went up the empire state lady woman, i ate a red velvet cup cake...
Then we flew to Austin Texas. We ate a lot of Mexican food, Charles went momentarily blind from one bowl of salsa inparticular, we made some amazing friends in 206 Braeswood, we played 7 gigs, i never found my Glasvegas dream, we did find a band called 'the real estate' who are my new favourite band, they are the perfect sunny evening band, i felt like i was in a john hughes film. I also fell in love with a band called 'the po po' and of course the Mae Shi were incredible and i met my cover version partner in crime 'Kid Static' who is the greatest dancer i have ever met. i think i love him.  I also met devo, DEVO! They didn't stay to watch us play sadly, even tho i told them we were great.
 And now we are home, and the real work has to begin, because  OUR ALBUM IS COMING OUT IN JUNE!  So we will have a single before then and a new video and a load of shows for you to come and enjoy. its gonna be fun. Our Scala show had to get cancelled cos of the album re-jig but we will be playing there in September instead, so i hope this hasn't ruined anyones life. anyway, im going to sleep, or maybe eat breakfast, or something, i don't know anymore, jet lag is a HAG.x
 
xxx love from rebecca

Dear All,
What a time we are having at the moment.
We have pretty much finished what i think is going to be our album, which is very exciting and terrifying in equal measure. I (rebecca) am still having a committed relationship with the NHS which means we've had to be a bit slow on the gig front, but my God how that will change, we are gonna go global on your asses asap. I have been enjoying the calming warm buzz of perscription drugs, drinking tea with my gorgeous mother and learning about the future and the past and all things inbetween like the Quaker religion and Anne Frank. Charles has been playing Xbox, painting deep blue oceans of milk and generally waltzing around being dapper waiting for me to sort the shiz out.We are currently awaiting the rest of our lives.
Most exciting of all is that we are going to be going to New York and Texas to play at SXSW! Neither me nor Charles have ever been to the USA so we are very excited about things like corn dogs, yellow taxis and tipping bar men. I am however shitting myself about the flying part, I am not good with planes full stop, nor am i good at sticking with things when i want to give up. So when i have had enough and want to get off, i can't. And that BOTHERS me.
Anyway, download Jeremy Warmsleys single 'If he breaks your heart' because it is a T U N E.
Smell you Later.
