I wandered lonely in a crowd…the weather was perfect. the sun was so hot it hurt but in a way you loved it. At any given moment you're dripping with sweat. The show felt awesome, the crowd were perfect, every single person counts. We were warm in the pocket -  THAT WAS ONE OF OUR BEST GIGS… most definitely, sincerely, no word of a lie.

We're on at the same time as We Are Scientists. I told Keith I was eyeing up his fans and his ability to go grey while still being in his 20s. Went to see The View – I genuinely think Wasted Little DJs is up there with Teenage Kicks. Sincerely. I love the spirit of the whole thing, it's all wrapped up in charm, vim, lust for life. I'll just stop stroking my beard for one bloody minute. Kyle's voice is absolutely brilliant man.

Reading. And Leeds. Was wicked. The festivals are the highlights of this band's touring calendar. I wonder if we'll weep for our irretrievable youth when we're past 30…? Will we be fat skinny men? Does anyone else think that Jamie (Ellis) looks like a composite of Mick and Keef from the stones?
