Dear Readers (& Writers)
So, a while back (we're talking three, four years) we got it into our heads that we wanted to play an acoustic show with Our Old Band at the Holywell Music Rooms in Oxford. We promised great things to many people, and promised it would happen to many people, some of whom aren't here any more. For those of you who don't know Oxford, it's the oldest music hall in the whole of Europe and inside, it looks like this:
Anyway, shit went down, people came and went, and we never did it. Well now we're going to do it, on December 11th 2009.
Tickets are a very reasonable £10 and for this money you get us, the delightful Richard Walters, who we have now played COUNTLESS shows with, and The Epstein, who I don't think we've ever played with, but have always admired greatly.
That's a killer line up, I hear you say.
We agree.
Advance tickets from WeGotTickets as usual
We will be playing as a three piece with two acoustics, a synth and a stripped down drumkit. I think this is the most excited I've ever been about a gig*.
I really hope to see you all there. We've invited actual adults to this one, who wouldn't normally come and see us play at full volume, so best behaviour please.
Vibe!

*(Although last night, we playd a gig in North London and Nikki Grahame, yknow, from Big Brother 3 or whatever, was DJ'ing afterwards. It was a real blast, we dug her beats man, and I spilled a full pint of Guinness over the 4-way plug sockets during a particularly lively rendition of 'Red Square', boy it was electric ** groan ** Apparently, Nikki paid £500 a day to get a certificate from the Ministry of Sound in DJ'ing - (she played The Strokes and MGMT, to reflect her tastes) - but that's not what interested me, no, what really got me was when we were playing our new song which we'll call 'No Brighter' because that's one of the lyrics, I looked at her side of stage, and she looked at me, and I thought, Nikki, this is just WEIRD isn't it?)
