Possibly the last news item I'll write before Christmas as the next couple of weeks will be spent purely drinking.  

Right, you may or may not know that Wayne is leaving this land on 2nd January to go and live in Japan, just outside Tokyo.  With this in mind, it means that all of our releases will now get a miniature release in Japan.  It's highly unlikely anyone from Japan is reading this but if you are, keep an eye out for anything welikedanger related in the indie record shops of Fujisawa and Tokyo.  We'd also like to take this opportunity to wish Wayne all the best and good luck on the other side of the world. 

Secondly, the M S Thomason album has been steadily gaining the critical acclaim it deserves.  If you go to the records section of the site, there's now a press archive for each release which you might be interested to read if you've got some spare time.  If you've not yet bought yourself a copy of Under The Birch Tree then this should convince you its a worthy investment.  

M S Thomason is also playing as part of the the BBC Radio Stoke Xmas Special this coming Thursday.  Herzoga are also wrongpopping it up on the show as well as loads of other bands in a kind of Jools Holland fashion but without all the pianoing in between.  Its on from 7pm - 9pm and its 94.6FM or you can listen to it on t'internet at www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/subculture.

To finish off this year, there's a couple of gigs you should be going to...

Wednesday 19th December
The Glebe, Stoke
Iye
M S Thomason
Mountains Became Machines
8.00pm.

Sunday 23rd December
The Sugarmill, Hanley
Andy Gower - Album Launch
7.30pm.

Finally, we'd like to thank everyone who's been involved with anything we've done this year, be it played a gig for us, turned up at a gig, bought one of our releases or helped promote anything we've done.  Between us, welikedanger and wrongpop have brought some amazing bands to town such as This Aint Vegas, Charlottefield, Kong, Bilge Pump, Popular Workshop, Ice Sea Dead People, Cove,  some of whom have never played Stoke before or haven't been seen around here since the by-gone days of the legendary Musicroom nights.  We put them together with our best local bands and created some awesome nights which we will be carrying on in 2008.

We've got lots planned for next year including 4 more releases, the first of which will be the new Herzoga single, so keep your eyes peeled.  Have a good Christmas and New Year.
