Hello!
We've finally caught upto date with modern technology and have begun releasing material on itunes.
We've just released Individual Inconsistent, and The Milgram Experiment will be released in the next couple of weeks.
Unfortunately, if you live in japan, you won't be able to download either album as they're still under licence to JVC.
We'll be releasing old and new material on itunes in the coming months so keep your eyes and ears open.
Unfortunately (again), we won't be able to release any of the Warner's material (eg. Alcopop, Jukebox etc) in the near future.

Hello.

We've been playing The Reflection Stared at our gigs over the summer and had quite a few requests from people for it to appear on the Myspace page as it's taken from The Milgram Experiment, which was only released in Japan.

So, if you go to our page you'll find it on there!

Hope you like it, let us know what you think to it.

We're really busy working on the new material at the minute which is sounding very promising. We will be going into the studio in the next month or so to start recording it so keep an eye on the page and the forum to find out how its going.

Bye for now

Thanks very much to everyone who turned up at The Social in London last night, we had an amazing night! It was great to be back in London after 6 years. Andy deserves an especially big pat on the back, not for taking his clothes off halfway through Invisible Balloon then knocking himself out on my drumkit at the end, but for travelling from Cologne for the gig. Nice one my Son :) A massive thankyou to Jack and Kev Alcopop for putting on the night, keep your eyes out for the next club night in November. The Immediate and Encyclopedia were also very good, Ben from Encyclopedia is officially the happiest man in pop, but with tunes like theirs, it's no surprise!

We're going to spend the next couple of months writing and recording new material, so won't be playing live until we've got that finished. Bit of a shame I know, but multi tasking isn't one of our strong points and we want to get the new material out as soon as we can so please bear with us :)

I'll be doing regular blog updates over the next couple of months to keep everyone updated with how things are going. In the mean time, please keep checking the page for updates and leave us nice messages and comments.

Ps. I almost forgot, if anyone has any photos of last night, please send them in!

Special guest DJ on the night is none other than Silver Sun's very own James Broad.


Also playing on the night are Encyclopedia who are well worth checking out!

We've finally done it!! We had our first rehearsal in five years today, in preparation for the Riverside festival on 1st July.
Two thirds of the band (namely Richard and Lee) did their best to shake off their hangovers after Saturday's England game and we met up in a rehearsal room kindly loaned by Acer (www.myspace.com/acerworld) just outside Peterborough (or "P-Town" as it's now known!!!!). Not wanting to give anything away about what we're going to be playing at the forthcoming gigs, but highlights of the rehearsal included reciting most of Master of
Puppets, with some vintage John Shuttleworth moments thrown in for good measure...
We were really pleased with how the rehearsal went, it was great to be playing together again after all these years!
We've got a few surprises in store for the Riverside, so get down there for 5.35pm and prepare to be surprised!!!!
