So our last show was on October 3rd 2008, I have just had a long overdue birthday present, and I guess it is probably the just about one of the coolest presents ever.

If you've clicked here then you have probably come past our profile, and noticed that we have a new song uploaded.

A truly wonderful present.

Michael.

We are calling it a day after just over two years of playing shows and will be playing for one last at Cardiff's delightful Clwb Ifor Bach. All of our currently booked dates have been cancelled including A Wilhelm Scream in TJs and Off With Their Heads in Le Pub (Well they're still going on, we just won't be playing).

It will be on Friday 3rd October, which is the week after Strike Anywhere and the week before Off With Their Heads, two lovely shows that everyone should head down to. Doors will be at 7:00 as there is a relatively strict curfew of 10pm

Its us, we're nowt special, but we had a laugh.

My other band THIS HIDDEN SWITCH are self-releasing our first (and possibly last) EP 'Trial and Error' on 16th August - with the release show being at Cardiff Barfly that very same day. 

For details of the gig, and/or the EP, either check us out in The Slowdance top friends, or go to www.thishiddenswitch.co.uk .

Cheers for reading,           Jon.

Get it while it's hot!

That's a link to a streaming snippet from Adam Walton's show on Sunday night. It's an interview with Marcus Warner from Engineering Consent PR, who's kindly helping us out. He discusses his PR company and Adam plays tracks by The Slowdance, Working Class Heroes and Carnivores of War (it's worth checking out just for this tune!).

Leave us a comment, let us know what you think!
