Budding liver birds,

I have just posted up a new song for all to download as you please.

Its very much in the vain of 'Travelling Show' sessions. it's a slow burner so give it your full attention.

Gypsy Masquerade was a one take wonder and think it sounds pretty great.

Let us know what you think!

Off to Brighton for a stag do at the weekend then I'm off to Ireland to acquainted with fresh air. Then at the beginning of August there is the wedding of the year to go to. I think Bunty has put in the highest offer to publicise the pictures.

The Radio will be raring to go come September.

Stay tuned to the Radio!

Good evening,

Its been a fine weather summer so far. Don't ya think?

I hope you have been well, we have been good. I'm sorry we have been away so long. What looks like a period in-activity has been a period of just that. Still working on the right side of Jones though.

Since returning from NY a few things such as births, deaths, marriages and holidays have greeted us. So we will be returning in the fall with a Travelling Show extravaganza! With a possible home town show in August (details to be produced)

I know that there has been a few break-ups on our 'local' scene as of late. But we aint going anywhere! We have written and recorded a great EP (running at almost 29 mins, its great value!) and we believe in it.

As for the free download, it's a song that was written just before the 'Travelling Show' sessions and we decided just to do a one take wonder at the end of the session. It turned out pretty good. So I have posted up 'Gypsy Masquerade' as a gift to you say thanks for sticking with us and be prepared to live it up for the rest of our lives.

Innocence is lost in perseverance, but brings fulfilment.

Stay tuned to the radio!

Welcome, and a hello to all on this rainy day in June

Why do I keep getting emails from 'Colon Cure' is it a sign, or is it just dam span?

Just a quick one right now, my emotional rescue is almost complete. I think, I can get back to it! Right away sir.

Just uploaded some choice pics from our heady days in NYC. Feel free to browse, all are welcome. Leave a love comment if you like.

The Travelling Show will be heading up to London in July, more details to be confirmed, shortly.

Oh and if you guys and girls havent purchased a downloadable version of 'Travelling Show' EP hers a quick reminder……………

So, we are back from the big applet. And we got to play this time!

 

And what an amazing time we had. Far far too short of course, almost a flying visit indeed. But then again, I love this city, home from home. Almost.

 

The Knitting Factory was a great experience and found that we go down a whole lot better in NYC then in UK. Or maybe that's because its one of those right gigs for us.

 

Although suffering somewhat from a little ring rust, so to speak. We pulled out the stops and put on a great show. No reach around though!

 

Here's a real comment from a real person, all real.

 

'If coming back to NYC meant meeting you lot and catching your live performance, then it was all worth it. You guys are fucking awesome! I'm still kicking myself for not having brought my camcorder to your gig. FUCK!!!' VJ

 

I will be at some point going into all the filthy details in another 'almost public diary' but I just don't have the time nor right mind set.

Or I just may keep it to myself.

 

Travelling Show can now be brought on emusic and Tune Core.

In a few hopeful hours we start a journey. A journey that's going to bring us some peace.

We are flying across the ocean on a flaming pie to the that Apple on the east coast of America.

The disappointment of not playing the last time, all angles have been covered. All be it, its been a little close. Krista, our faithful agent in New York has worked her butt off to get us on the Knitting Factory bill. At a really great time as well. 9:30pm its when were all swinging right?

Anyway, Stu the lonesome drummer boy, he loses his bank cards all the time. So a few weeks ago he takes his passport out with him, in the mists of playing Wrestlemania in a pub that used to be good (OH the old days, how sweet thou lay!) something slips out his pocket. It wasn't his mister but his passport. Cut a long a story short, he got it yesterday. Passport that is not the HIV.

Taken the newly Telecaster across, she should serve me well.

Looking forward to some booze Armageddon NY style, be sure of something though, there will be stories on our return.

No HIV!

No pigs feet!

’Watch the Monkey Dance’ a song from the EP, will be out tomorrow on Shifty Disco singles club. 99p I believe, what a steal! www.shiftydisco.co.uk

And the icing on our rising cake, NEW YORK baby! Oh yeah!

Knitting Factory is confirmed!! May the 20th and we cant fooking wait! Its going to be crazy days! Like to thank Krista for all her hard work getting us in through the door.

I remember last time walking past and saying ’Wish we were playing there’ Ian replied ’one day’ And its happened! Cheesy I know, but after the music calamities of the last voyage, its great to know we get a second chance, but at a top venue!

Just tonight we have written specific set ender of New York, lots of fuzz lots of Maximum Rhythm lots of roving bass lines, lots of Psych!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And as he danced there were four simple villagers who picked up musical instruments and played while the monkey danced. Tthere was no organ grinder, just a fuzz pedal.

Although the monkey was some what restricted by the cage that surrounded his fur. He still danced a jive.

He was content , as the monkey was loaded on to the back of the steam powered cart.
