thursday 17th january
Right then, new year new stuff to get on with. Firstly, the new Herzoga single is currently being pressed. There will be a pre-order starting soon but if you don't want to do that then the first time you will be able to buy it will be at the launch gig. This is at The Glebe, Stoke on Sunday 17th February along with our mates from Brighton Epideme, ever reliable loud bastards Ox Scapula, and new local spikey types We Fly Spitfires! DJ Stratosphere will also be bringing his 7 million boxes of wax to entertain you in between the bands as ever. For more info on this gig, go to the gigs section of the website. After that the record will be available to buy from the usual places. There's more details on what's on it in the records section of the site.
We're also planning WLD005 which will be the debut EP by the awesome Here's To The Atom Bomb. This will be out towards the end of February so keep an eye out. If you've never heard Here's To The Atom Bomb then think along the lines of bands such as The National, Joy Division, Mogwai, Chameleons. Brilliantly melodic and reflective vocals with huge walls of guitars and driving bass. Go to www.myspace.com/bombthepast for more.
Following that, we'll be getting some vinyl on the go. M S Thomason is currently recording for a 7" and so are Ox Scapula. We'll let you know what's happening with them all in good time. M S Thomason is also playing at the next Wrongpop on the 2nd February after pulling out of the last one due to illness. He's not on the flyer's as they were printed before it was organised but he is definitely playing!
The lineup for the WELIKEDANGEROUSWRONGPOP all-dayer is almost complete. It's going to be on Saturday 5th April and we'll let you know who's playing as soon as its all sorted. It's going to be a nice mix of out-of-town and local bands along with food, DJs and a charity raffle.
Finally, Truckdriver Jnr and Ox Scapula have been asked by the thoroughly nice dudes at BBC Subculture to play for them at The Glebe, Stoke a week today on Thursday 24th January. They will be broadcasting the normal Subculture show from The Glebe from 7pm-9pm and then bands will follow at 9. See you there!
