Hello world, it's Tyrannosaurus Alan!

Well, this week we had a trip to Tunbridge Wells to visit Phil Harrison at BBC Radio Kent to record a session for the Radio Kent Unsigned program. Matt was losing his voice & Pete was suffering from a sore throat so we were a little apprehensive. The BBC Radio Kent Studio is actually not huge especially with all our gear in there, I brought my snare drum & hi-hat & flat bass drum, Matt brought his organ (add joke here!) Ruth her bass & mini amp, Peter his mini amp & 2 Rickenbackers so it was a bit cosy. We played two songs for the show and had a nice little chat with Phil and we didn't manage to say anything silly… I hope! You can listen to our session on BBC Radio Kent on the 7th of March at approx 5:30pm. You ain't see nothing yet, let's rock!

FROG CHORUS DROWNS OUT LOCAL CHART TOPPER

Canterbury rock and roll mahatmas Spygenius were reported to be "devastated" following local radio buffoons KMFM's decision to replace their chart-topping monsterpiece "Conybeare's Island" with Paul McCartney's "Frog Chorus" in an epoch defining broadcast last night. 

A close friend of the band stated: "Conybeare's Island is a tune of such magnificence and wonder that a broadcast across the Kent and Medway area would surely have spread peace, harmony and cosmic realignment – just in time for Christmas too! I dread to think what Karmic damage has been done with this bizarre substitution." 

Officials from the radio station claimed that this was all an honest mistake, believing that Spygenius had produced a wry reworking of the Frog Chorus as a piece of post-modern retro irony. Fans were incredulous. "Are we really expected to believe that broadcasting professionals cannot tell a genuine Frog Chorus when they hear it?  It's beyond belief. There has to be something dodgy going on here. I mean, KMFM is supposed to play local music, but Macca's from Liverpool! And the Beatles only played in Kent once! I reckon he's knobbled the DJ!" said one.

Further speculation that some diabolical anti-Spygenius conspiracy was underway was fuelled by the mysterious disappearance of the band from KMFM's voting list for the new chart this morning (Dec 7th), uncannily marking the 66th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The band nevertheless resolved to fight on, and get back to the top of the charts where they belong. Spokes-drummer Alan 'the hat' Cannings said "win or lose, sink or swim, one thing is certain, we'll never give in!"

Paul McCartney was unavailable for comment.

Hi.

Right, that's the pleasantries out the way, now to the point.

WE NEED VOTES

Yep, that's right. We are on the XFM website and are battling it out to get some air time against about eight hundred thousand other unsigned bands (this is increasing by the second). 3 Bands get selected every week to compete against each other, with the winner getting played out on XFM. Although there doesn't seem to be a voting option (yeah, i think it's weird too) the amount of listens we get definitely influences our chances. Know where I'm going? Good.

Now, this is what you have to do. Follow this link;

and have a listen. You can browse our freshly taken pics (courtesy of Rob Telford and Chris Brown) and visualize our potential for greatness. I've said it before, we can take you with us... Post any feedback on this site if you like.

We need this, and believe me, we bloody deserve it.
